Because the very first scanning point is a valid measurement, you can reduce repeated probing and non-productive time. High probing reproducibility, even at high scanning speeds, also reduces non-productive time.
Although drops of liquid on the workpiece have no effect on measurement, residual chips can be a problem. That's why this touch probe features jets for cleaning the workpiece at a pressure of up to 60 bar. The machine must be equipped accordingly.
Touch probes from HEIDENHAIN, along with the SE 661 transceiver (EnDat interface), are fast and easy to configure on the screen of the TNC, where you can check the infrared signal strength, scan radio channels or check the battery charge.
Probing forces are minimized by high-performance force analysis in the sensor, and the workpiece is maximally protected through optimal orientation of the sensor without lateral motion of the stylus.
