Introduction
The automatic probe cover (APCA-45) is a tool
setting probe that features an automatic protection
cover for lathes and multi-tasking machines. The
APCA-45 is designed to protect the stylus when
it is mounted in a hazardous environment on a
machine tool.
The APCA-45 features a Dual Air operated
protective cover.
The APCA-45 is typically used when the probe
needs to be mounted in a place where it might be
exposed to long strands of swarf wrapping around
the stylus that can damage the probe when pulled
away, or where large pieces of flying swarf could
damage the probe. The pneumatically operated
cover will protect the probe’s stylus and allow it to
operate in this hazardous environment.
