General Information on Touch Probes
TS 511 triggering touch probe
The TS 511 triggering touch probe features infrared transmission of the
triggering signal to the TNC. This makes it highly convenient for use on
machines with automatic tool changers. Functioning of the TS 511 touch
probe is based on the same principle as the TS 120 touch probe.
You can also use the TS 511 touch probe – in combination with the TNC's
touch probe cycles – for easy datum setting or workpiece measurement.
TT 110 touch probe for tool measurement
The TT 110 touch probe is a triggering 3D touch probe system for measur-
ing and checking tools. The measured data can be stored in the central
tool file (depending on machine parameter MP 6507).
As with the TS 120 and TS 511 touch probes, the triggering signal is
generated by a highly dependable, friction-free optoelectronic switch.
The TT 110 is generally mounted on the machine table. The exact position
within the REF system is defined in the TNC with machine parameters.
Due to its rugged construction and high system of protection (IP 67) it is
not affected by coolants and swarf.
The TT 110 can be used with three cycles in which you can measure tool
length and radius automatically with active or inactive spindle rotation.
