CNC Machine Tool Probe http://www.cnc-machine-tool-probe.com Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:32:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en How a Touch Probe for Machine Tools works http://www.cnc-machine-tool-probe.com/machine-tool/how-a-touch-probe-for-machine-tools-works-51/ http://www.cnc-machine-tool-probe.com/machine-tool/how-a-touch-probe-for-machine-tools-works-51/#comments Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:32:08 +0000 marposs http://www.cnc-machine-tool-probe.com/?p=51 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:

    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.

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.

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