Lathe probes
Move from manual to automated workpiece setup and inspection. Explore our range of standard-accuracy machine tool touch probes for accurate and repeatable measurement.
Maximise machining time
Time spent manually setting and inspecting workpieces is valuable machining time wasted. With automated probing, you can speed up part set-up times and simplify in-process inspection.
Our standard-accuracy touch probes use a kinematic design, proven over five decades. The mechanism enables measurement repeatability of 1 m 2s, allowing you to set and inspect components accurately and reliably. Other benefits include:
- Reduced machine downtime.
- Automatic fixture, job alignment and rotary axis set-up.
- Manual setting errors eliminated.
- Reduced scrap.
- In-cycle part measurement with automatic offset correction.
OLP40 optical lathe probe
RLP40 (QE) radio lathe probe
Designed specifically for workpiece set-up and inspection on lathes and grinding machines, our robust lathe probes provide outstanding metrology performance. Both probes offer an ultra-compact design, measuring just 40mm in diameter.
- Proven kinematic design.
- Exceptional resistance to light interference (OLP40 optical transmission probe).
- Secure frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) (RLP40 radio transmission probe).
- Design enhancements for operation in harsh machining environments.
- 1m 2s repeatability.
