TOUCH PROBE

Lets face it when you buy a probe there isa strong likely that you will break a ruby tip

Isell a lot of replacement runtips for $27 with shipping

SO I decided to include a practice tip that allowsyou topractice scanning your piece

3/8 SHAFT also includes ruby tip

IF you want to find more information about the probe go to my website

Made is USA This probe is great for digitizing

IF you want to do fixturing or coordinate measurement

I would recommend the stainless probe because you can center it

2 wire input

Made is USA

For digitizing software information

one wire goes to ground the other goes to your input

You connect this to your controller input just like you would a limit or home switch

Mach 3 has a wizard for this probe

This is the probe that Art Fenerty used (developer of mach 3) when he was developing the probe wizard. He was very impressed with the probe.

A probe can perform all these tasks

· Our probe is 5 way triggered and has a long-wearing .079\" (2 mm) diameter, ruby tip.

· Accuracy equivalent to Renishaw TP1 probe

· Up to 20,000 points per hour

· Roundness less than .001in error

· Diameter less than .001in errorRepeatability deviation less than .001 in

· Six foot Shielded cable included.

· It is rated for 10 million samples (switch operations)before carbon build up

· The biggest problem with almost all ball and rod contact based probes is that after 100,000 samples (that\'s 100,000 switch operations) the contact resistance would increase because of carbon buildup. So much that the op amp circuit would start to fail to switch its output state. The contacts don\'t wipe (self-clean) and a buildup of carbon occurs. This would result in having taking the probe apart and clean it.

And as luck would dictate you would be in the middle of a delicate scan

How did we solve this problem?

We contacted a large University and explained our problem

After working together and researching various material interactions

We found a combination of materials that: allowed us to make 10 million switch operation before any cleaning is needed
