M208.096 Edge Probe (rotating spindle) – Ø 10 mm & Ø 4 mm tips, Metav IndustryLine

The M208.096 edge probe is a rotating-spindle measuring stylus designed for precise alignment of workpiece reference faces, edges and bore centres on machine tools and inspection fixtures.

• Rotating spindle for dynamic probing
• Dual probe tips Ø10 mm and Ø4 mm
• High positional accuracy 0.01 mm
• Lightweight design, approx. 90 g

Accurate alignment for repeatable production set-ups

The rotating spindle design delivers a reliable measuring action at working speeds, supporting accurate reference finding on machine tables and fixture faces. With a positional accuracy of 0.01 mm, the unit provides measurable gains in repeatability compared with generic edge finders. The construction is optimised for contact probing rather than tactile gauging; this makes the tool suitable for frequent set-up checks where consistent detection of edges and centres reduces cumulative error in serial machining.

Dual-tip configuration for edges and small bores

Two interchangeable tips — Ø10 mm and Ø4 mm — allow the probe to address a range of tasks without multiple tools, from broad edge detection to navigating smaller bore openings. The 10 mm shank provides a secure machine-mount connection and stable seating in toolholders, while the smaller tip improves accessibility for confined geometries. This combination reduces tool changes and shortens cycle times, enabling efficient measurement routines for both workshop and production environments.

Compact, lightweight design that speeds handling

At just 0.09 kg and 94 mm overall length, the probe is deliberately compact to minimise overhang and operator handling effort. The reduced mass helps limit deflection when mounted on spindles or articulating arms, aiding faster, more confident alignment. The unit’s balance between reach and stiffness is effective for routine set-up work, where quick positioning and consistent contact force translate into shorter machine idle times and fewer re-measures.

Built for practical shop-floor integration

Rated for safe operation up to 600 rpm, the rotating spindle permits use in applications where moderate rotation or automated indexing is required. The probe’s specification is focused on straightforward, rugged performance rather than high‑speed dynamic measurement, making it a pragmatic choice for machine-shop referencing and fixture alignment. Supplied as a compact probe with established metrology geometry, it suits both CNC manufacturers and inspection stations seeking a dependable edge-finding solution.

FAQ

What applications suit this rotating edge probe? The M208.096 is ideal for machine‑tool reference finding, fixture alignment and locating bore centres where a compact rotating probe with dual tips speeds set-up.

Can the probe be mounted in standard toolholders? Yes, the probe uses a 10 mm shank suitable for common holders; the M208.096 mounts securely for repeatable measurements.

Which tip should be used for small bores? The Ø4 mm tip provides better access for confined bore geometries, while the Ø10 mm tip is preferable for clear edge detection and larger radii.

Is the probe safe to use at spindle rotation? The rotating spindle of the M208.096 is specified for use up to 600 rpm, allowing applications that require moderate rotational indexing.

How precise are measurements with this probe? Repeatability is supported by the probe’s 0.01 mm accuracy, making it suitable for many shop‑floor and production alignment tasks.
