HEIDENHAIN, Schaumburg, Illinois, introduced its new TS 760 touch probe for use with its contouring TNC and other major CNC controls. The device is distinguished by its 3D accuracy, making it useful during 5-axis machining and more.
The new TS 760 probe offers high accuracy ((±1 µm) and homogeneous switching behavior over 360°. The TS 760 also offers a trigger force of (≈ 0.2 N; axial: ≈ 1.5 N) eliminating form and surface damage. The probing point can be cleaned with the integrated flusher feature by using compressed air and cooling lubricant of up to 60 bars.
The TS 760 is fully compatible with HEIDENHAIN’s TS 740 predecessor and provides the same additional data as the TS 460. For more information, visit www.heidenhain.us.
