Vertex VPS-20 edge probe with LED — 20 mm tip, 0.005 mm repeatability

A VPS-20 edge probe with LED for precise edge detection and position referencing on machine tools and measuring fixtures.

• Fast LED indication for clear detection
• 0.005 mm repeatability for reliable set-up
• 20 mm tip diameter for stable contact
• Compact 157 mm length for machine compatibility

Faster set-up through measurable repeatability

The VPS-20 delivers 0.005 mm repeatability, a key parameter that reduces positioning uncertainty during tool and workpiece set-up. Repeatability describes the probe's ability to return to the same measured value under identical conditions; high repeatability therefore reduces scrap and rework and shortens cycle interruptions. For production environments where consistent part location is mandatory, this edge probe supports predictable workflows and fewer machine stops caused by uncertain referencing.

Clear signalling and workshop practicality

An integrated LED provides immediate visual confirmation of an edge contact, improving operator confidence during manual interventions and automated cycles. The probe's 20 mm tip diameter ensures a stable contact point with workpieces, while its compact overall length of 157 mm and low weight of 0.4 kg make it suitable for retrofitting into confined toolholders or fixture set-ups. Battery operation (UM-5#(SP) x2P/R1./1.5V) simplifies installation without requiring additional wiring, enabling rapid deployment across benches and machines.

Designed for reliable metrology workflows

With its focused function as an edge-detection device, the unit integrates easily into quality assurance routines and machine referencing procedures. The VPS-20 supports clear decision-making when aligning parts, transferring offsets, or validating datum positions; its concise specifications (repeatability, tip diameter, compact dimensions) translate directly into time savings during set-up and reduced downstream inspection effort. The product references (eClass and ETIM) allow straightforward documentation in procurement and maintenance records, supporting traceability and process control.
