Faster, more reliable set-up through optical detection

The 3D optical sensing principle enables non-contact detection of workpiece edges, which reduces mechanical wear and the need for frequent recalibration. Optical measurement translates directly into shorter set-up cycles and more consistent datum setting, so machining processes start from a verified reference faster. The combination of optical sensing and rigid construction supports improved repeatability in routine probing tasks, making the device suitable for production environments where consistent offsets and quick part changes matter.

Secure clamping and compact footprint for tight fixtures

A clamping shank Ø 20 mm provides a stable, concentric connection to standard toolholders and fixtures, improving measurement stability during probing and tool changes. The 106 mm overall length offers a compact profile that fits into crowded tool magazines and tight working envelopes while still providing sufficient reach for most edge-detection tasks. Rigid mounting reduces deflection, which helps preserve measurement integrity when referencing edges close to clamps or vice centres.

Practical integration into CNC and shop-floor workflows

Designed as an edge probe for reference and set-up routines, the device supports straightforward integration into existing probing cycles and CNC macros. Its optical 3D execution minimises contact-based artefacts and is suitable for a wide range of typical workshop materials. The single-unit supply simplifies inventory and procurement for maintenance teams and tooling departments, and compatible clamping dimensions streamline replacement and tool-change procedures without bespoke adaptors.

Optical 3D sensing detects the edge without mechanical contact, reducing wear and delivering consistent reference points; the TECWERK 3D optical edge probe uses this principle to support repeatable set-ups.

Is the shank compatible with standard toolholders?
Yes, the device has a clamping shank of 20 mm, designed for direct mounting in common 20 mm collets and toolholders.

What working length does the probe offer for reach-critical set-ups?
The probe has an overall length of 106 mm, providing a compact reach that is suitable for many fixture arrangements while remaining easy to handle in tool-change cycles.

Can this edge probe be used on different materials?
The 3D optical design is suitable for typical workshop materials and is optimised for reliable edge detection across a variety of surfaces used in machining.

What is included in the delivery?
The item is supplied as a single unit (packaging unit: 1), ready for mounting in the appropriate holder.
