90mm Edge Finder Probe 10mm Shank, 10mm Measuring Head - TECWERK

Reliable, compact edge sensing with a 10 mm probe head and a 10 mm shank provides precise, repeatable workpiece set-up while the 90 mm overall length adds reach for many fixture arrangements; order the TECWERK edge finder directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for technical clarification.

TECWERK edge finder — 10 mm probe head, 10 mm shank

The TECWERK edge finder probe head 10 mm is a tactile edge-sensing tool designed for rapid, repeatable workpiece referencing on milling machines and machining centres.

• Compact 10 mm probe head for tight spaces
• 10 mm shank for secure collet clamping
• 90 mm overall length for deeper access
• Precise tactile sensing for repeatable set-up

Faster, repeatable workpiece set-up

An edge finder shortens set-up time by converting a mechanical contact into a clear reference point for coordinate systems. The compact 10 mm probe head provides a small contact area that helps to reduce run-up and allows precise detection of corners and edges on flat workpieces. This tactile method delivers high repeatability, helping to preserve tool offsets and minimise fitting errors during batch runs. For operators less familiar with probing technology, the principle is straightforward: the probe makes contact, movement is detected, and the machine controller or manual charting records the datum — a process that is faster and often more reliable than purely visual alignment.

Compact design for confined fixtures and secure clamping

The combination of a 10 mm shank and a 90 mm overall length balances compactness with reach. The shank diameter is matched to common 10 mm collets and holders, enabling a secure mechanical fit and minimising runout during probing activities. The slim head diameter allows access close to clamps and vises, reducing the need for additional fixturing changes. For workshops where space is at a premium, this design supports efficient set-up without compromising on accuracy, making it suitable for both prototype work and repetitive production tasks.

Straightforward integration into workshop routines

Mechanical edge sensors like this one integrate easily into existing workflows because they require no electrical interface: the sensing is mechanical and therefore compatible with older and newer machines alike. The probe’s simple form factor supports fast changeover and low maintenance, contributing to a modest total cost of ownership while delivering consistent referencing performance. When paired with disciplined set-up procedures, the tactile edge finder helps to reduce scrap and rework, reinforcing operational reliability across small-batch and larger-scale manufacturing contexts.
