Hard-wired tool setting probe for drill bit breakage detection and tool length measurement in small machining centres. Measurements of unrivalled speed and precision for micro-tools under the most adverse manufacturing conditions using a modern measuring mechanism based on a linear working principle and optoelectronic switch signal generation.

Z-Pico tool measuring probe – Measure and monitor the smallest tools at up to 2 m/min

Wear-free, optoelectronic signal generation

• The trigger signal is generated via shading of a miniature light barrier
• Enables much higher measuring speeds and accuracy than with conventional probes
• Wear-free with long-term stability

High-precision, modern measuring mechanism using linear working principle 

• Ball-bearing precision linear guidance
• The functional principle prevents lateral forces acting on the tool
• Very low measuring force

Reliable measurement and monitoring of micro-tools 

• Measurement and breakage detection of sensitive and very small tools
• Tool measurement from D = 0.05 mm
• Extremely fast measurement at up to 2 m/min
