Boring tool with digital readout

High precision touch probe.

The 538052 (537052) precision boring cartridge is equipped with 3ETECH digital display for micro-precision adjustment. It can be used on serrated tool bodies and Alu-Line slide tools in 3.937" to 128.15" (100mm to 3,255mm) diameters. Additionally, the cartridge can be adjusted without a readout. Its diameter can be set via a Vernier scale in 0.0001" (0.002mm) increments.

The 3ETECH display unit docks onto the tool and is pushbutton activated to show the relative adjustment in 0.0001" (0.002mm) diameter increments to enable high-precision boring. The readout attaches externally, so it can be used with all Wohlhaupter tools equipped with 3ETECH sensors. The external display is for tools with small body diameters and special tools with one or more adjustment units.

High precision touch probe

The TS 750 high-precision touch probe measures workpieces in-process in grinding machines and lathes. Its low probing force is an advantage working with soft or delicate workpieces.

With probing forces of approximately 1.5N (axial) and 0.2N (radial), the TS 750 can attain ±1µm probing accuracy and repeatability with minimal effect on the measured object.

Even after 5 million probing cycles, the TS 750 is still highly accurate, with a probing repeatability down to 2s = 0.25µm.
