Description
3D Touch Probe
The 3D Touch Probe is used for measuring workpiece geometries such as edges, holes, grooves, studs, angles and corners or scanning surface. It can be used with conductive and non conductive stock materials. This probe has been developed for high measurement precision and high repeatability.
To achieve a high measurement precision, the touch probe must be mechanically calibrated, so that its axis aligns perfectly with the spindle axis of the machine.
The development of our 3D Touch Probe was focused particularly on achieving an affordable price without sacrificing precision, repeatability and reliability. Furthermore, the 3D Touch Probe is not just a simple switch, but it also includes electronics to ensure a stable and reliable switching behavior.

New features:
- Reduction of the current through the switch contacts in the μA range
(even more effective prevents the formation of oxide on switching elements) - Changed geometry of the switching contacts
- Wide range voltage: 5 – 24 V
- Delayed switch-on function of the electronics during power-on (protection against voltage peaks during power-on)
- Choice of output type before ordering (NO/ NC). PNP/NPN output user settable.
- Voltage-free contact (SSR Solid State Relay)

Very nice finished probe, with solid connection cable. After calibration, the probe works very accurately. You can download an English manual. Comes in a wooden storage box.
