Workpiece touch probes
Quickly and reliably master workpiece dimensional accuracy: HEIDENHAIN workpiece touch probes enable setup, measurement, and inspection functionality directly inside the machine tool. When the stylus is deflected upon contact with a workpiece surface, a switching signal is sent to the control via cable, radio, or infrared transmission, depending on the model.
