Tool length measurement and workpiece probing systems

Touch probes from HEIDENHAIN were
conceived for use on machine tools—in
particular milling machines and machining
centers. Touch probes help to reduce setup
times, increase machine usage time and
improve the dimensional accuracy of the
finished workpieces. Setup, measuring and
monitoring functions can be performed
manually or—in conjunction with most
CNC controls—also under program control.

Workpiece measurement
HEIDENHAIN offers TS touch probes for
workpiece measurement right on the
machine. The probe is inserted in the tool
holder either manually or by the tool
changer. They enable you to use the
probing functions offered by your NC
control to automatically or manually
perform:
- Workpiece alignment
- Workpiece presetting
- Workpiece measurement
- Digitizing or inspecting 3-D surfaces

Tool measurement
Successful series production hinges on the
prevention of scrap or rework and the
attainment of consistently good workmanship.
The tool is a decisive factor here.
Wear or tool breakage that go undetected
for extended periods, especially during
unattended operation, result in defective
parts and unnecessarily increase costs.
Therefore, exact measurement of tool
dimensions as well as periodic control of
wear are absolutely essential. For tool
measurement on the machine, HEIDENHAIN
offers the TT three-dimensional touch
probe and the TL laser systems.
