How a Touch Probe for Machine Tools works

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:
