3-D touch probes
With the various HEIDENHAIN 3-D touch probe systems you can:
n Automatically align workpieces
n
Quickly and precisely set datums
n Measure the workpiece during program run
n Measure and inspect tools
TS 220, TS 630 and TS 632 touch trigger probes
These touch probes are particularly effective for automatic workpiece
alignment, datum setting and workpiece measurement. The TS 220
transmits the triggering signals to the TNC via cable and is a cost-
effective alternative for applications where digitizing is not frequently
required.
The TS 630 and TS 632 feature infrared transmission of the triggering
signal to the TNC. This makes them highly convenient for use on
machines with automatic tool changers.
Principle of operation: HEIDENHAIN triggering touch probes
feature a wear-resistant optical switch that generates an electrical
signal as soon as the stylus is deflected. This signal is transmitted to
the TNC, which stores the current position of the stylus as an actual
value.
All of the touch probe functions are described in a
separate manual. Please contact HEIDENHAIN if you
require a copy of this User’s Manual. Id. Nr.: 369 280-xx.
