TT 140 tool touch probe for tool measurement
The TT 140 is a triggering 3-D touch probe for tool measurement and
inspection. Your CNC provides three cycles for this touch probe with
which you can measure the tool length and radius automatically either
with the spindle rotating or stopped. The TT 140 features a particularly
rugged design and a high degree of protection, which make it
insensitive to coolants. The triggering signal is generated by a
wear-resistant and highly reliable optical switch.
HR electronic hand wheels
Electronic hand wheels facilitate moving the axis slides precisely by
hand. A wide range of traverses per hand wheel revolution is available.
Apart from the HR 130 and HR 150 integral hand wheels,
HEIDENHAIN Corp. also offers the HR 410 portable hand wheel.
Electronic Edge Finder
The Electronic Edge Finder enables the ability to teach positions, find
the center point of a circle, or locate datum (work piece zero) by
touching off on the part. Advantage of an electronic edge finder is that
it instantly senses when contact is made with the point (even if the
axis over traveled).
