Touch trigger probes TS 260, TS 444, TS 460, TS 642 and TS 740
The TS 248 and TS 260 touch probes are particularly cost-effective
and transmit the trigger signals via a cable.
The wireless TS 740 and TS 642 touch probes as well as the
smaller TS 460 and TS 444 touch probes are suitable for use
on machines with tool changers. All of the above touch probes
feature infrared signal transmission. TS 460 also supports wireless
transmission and offers optional collision protection. Thanks to an
integrated air turbine generator, the TS 444 touch probe is battery-
free.
HEIDENHAIN touch trigger probes feature either a wear-resistant
optical switch or several high-precision pressure sensors (TS 740)
that detect the deflection of the stylus. On deflection, a trigger
signal is generated, which causes the control to store the current
position of the touch probe as the actual value.
Tool touch probes TT 160 and TT 460
The TT 160 and TT 460 touch probes are designed for the efficient
and precise measurement and inspection of tool dimensions.
The control offers cycles that enable you to determine the tool
length and radius while the spindle is rotating or stationary. The
tool touch probe features a particularly rugged design and a high
degree of protection, which make it insensitive to coolants and
swarf.
A wear-resistant optical switch generates the trigger signal. With
the TT 160, signal transmission is by cable. The TT 460 supports
infrared and radio transmission.
