Touch trigger probes TS 260, TS 460, TS 642, TS 740 and TS 760
The TS 248 and TS 260 touch probes are particularly cost-effective
and transmit the trigger signals through a cable.
The wireless TS 642 and TS 740 touch probes as well as the smaller
TS 460 and TS 760 touch probes are suitable for machines with
tool changers. All of the above touch probes feature infrared signal
transmission. The TS 460 and the TS 760 also support wireless
transmission. The TS 460 offers optional collision protection.
HEIDENHAIN touch probes feature either a wear-resistant optical
switch or several high-precision pressure sensors (TS 740 and
TS 760) to detect stylus deflections. On deflection, a trigger signal is
generated, which causes the control to store the current position of
the touch probe as the actual value.
Tool touch probes TT 160 and TT 460
The TT 160 and TT 460 touch probes are designed for the efficient
and precise measurement and inspection of tool dimensions.
The control offers cycles that enable you to determine the tool length
and radius while the spindle is rotating or stationary. The tool touch
probe features a particularly rugged design and a high degree of
protection, which make it insensitive to coolants and swarf.
A wear-resistant optical switch generates the trigger signal. With
the TT 160, signal transmission is by cable. The TT 460 supports
infrared and radio transmission.
