TOUCH PROBE

The optional touch probe can be used in conjunction with VED techniques to take data points in any direction.

This is particularly useful when measuring features that are out of the camera's sight, or when features on the XZ or YZ plane must be related to features in the XY plane.

Now the whole part can be measured in 3D without the need for repositioning.

Other 3D geometric features like spheres, cones and cylinders can sometimes be constructed more easily using the touch probe option.

For multi probe CNC applications an auto-change probe rack is used to change stylus configurations mid program.
