CNC Machine Tool Probe

The system utilizes the machine to move the probe along a programmed path. Once the stylus makes contact with the part/tool a signal is generated and is transmitted to the machine’s CNC. This is done by means of a transmission system (wireless or hardwired). The CNC is then able to store the relevant axes positions and elaborate the part geometry by means of dedicated probing software.

A typical probing application lay-out is sketched here below:

Interface Unit for Hard-Wired Connection of Mida Probes

The E32R interface converts the signal generated by the touch probe into a form which can be used by the machine tool CNC.On the front panel of the unit are located the terminal boxes for the I/O connections and some LED’s to indicate the following:

• Green LED: lit to indicate “power ON”
• Green LED: indicates the status of the touch probe:
  • lit when the probe stylus is deflected
  • unlit when the probe is seated.

A touch probe system enables machine tools to perform geometrical measurements inside its cutting area. The probe, a high precision switch, is the heart of the system and when it is integrated into the machine manufacturing process, it can determine workpiece and/or tool sizes and identify part locations. This system can enhance part quality, improve productivity and reduce operators set-up time.

The need to monitor production processes arises when there is a requirement for increasingly reliable, automated machinery and production cycles in order to satisfy the continual demands of the market to lower costs.

Within this framework, it therefore becomes necessary for the machinery to be supervised by systems that carry out process analysis of the machine tool.
