TECWERK 2D optical edge probe — clamping shank Ø 20 mm

The TECWERK 2D optical edge probe is a compact clamping-shank sensor engineered for precise two-axis edge detection during workpiece set-up on machining centres and measuring fixtures.

• 2D optical edge detection
• Clamping shank Ø 20 mm
• Total length 94 mm
• Supplied as a single unit

Faster, more reliable workpiece set-up with optical sensing

The combination of 2D optical measurement and a compact footprint enables quicker locating of edges on rectangular and prismatic parts, reducing unproductive spindle time. The optical principle detects the workpiece boundary without mechanical contact, which minimises wear and supports consistent repeatability. For workshops that prioritise efficient changeovers, the sensor shortens set-up sequences and helps maintain production flow while preserving surface integrity.

Fits standard toolholders for straightforward integration

A clamping shank of Ø 20 mm provides a standardised interface for many toolholders and adapters, simplifying installation on milling machines and probing systems. The shank-based design allows rapid mounting and removal, which is particularly useful in mixed-production environments. As a result, machine availability improves and tooling logistics are simplified, with fewer non-productive steps between jobs.

Compact construction for use in confined machining zones

With a total length of 94 mm, the probe is designed for operations where space is at a premium or where the measuring point is close to fixtures and vises. The short overall envelope reduces the risk of collisions during probing moves and helps to preserve machine clearance. Supplied as a single unit, the device is immediately ready for incorporation into measurement routines and set-up cycles, supporting lean processes without excessive handling.

FAQ

How precise is the edge detection with this probe?
The TECWERK 2D optical edge probe (SKU 2000851246NW) provides precise two-axis edge detection suited to accurate workpiece alignment; repeatability is supported by the optical sensing principle and stable clamping shank.

Which machine interfaces accept the probe?
The device is designed with a Ø 20 mm clamping shank, so it is compatible with holders and adaptors designed for a 20 mm nominal shank diameter, enabling straightforward integration into common toolholding systems.

Is the probe ready for immediate use upon delivery?
Yes, the probe is supplied as a single unit and can be mounted directly into a compatible holder; preliminary calibration on the machine is recommended before production use.

Can the sensor detect edges in both X and Y axes?
The 2D optical configuration enables detection across two axes, allowing determination of both X and Y references during standard set-up procedures.
