Faster in-process setup and probing are made possible by the TS 460 workpiece touch probe from HEIDENHAIN, featuring very high measurement feed rates of up to 3000 mm/min. The time saved during probing, which can be as great as 30%, then becomes available as valuable productive time on the shop floor. The integrated flusher/blower of the TS 460 ensures high measurement accuracy by cleaning any chips from the probed surface. The touch probe can also be equipped with an effective anti-collision buffer that not only prevents expensive damage but also thermally decouples the touch probe.
