VPS-20-BEEP edge probe with LED and beeper by Vertex

The VPS-20-BEEP is a compact edge probe designed for precise workpiece detection on machine tools, providing both visual and audible confirmation for measurement and setup tasks.

• Edge probe with LED and audible beeper
• 20 mm sensing diameter for precise detection
• Runs on UM-5#(SP) 12V battery
• Lightweight 0.4 kg, length 157 mm

Faster, more reliable workpiece detection

The VPS-20-BEEP functions as an edge probe that simplifies the detection of workpiece edges and reference points, reducing manual alignment time. The 20 mm sensing diameter delivers consistent contact area, which supports repeatable positioning and helps to avoid costly rework. By converting mechanical contact into a defined signal, the probe enables rapid digital input to measurement routines or CNC probing cycles, improving overall throughput and process reliability. This practical sensor is particularly suited to shops aiming to optimise set-up times without extensive retrofit.

Immediate visual and audible confirmation for safer processes

Integrated LED illumination and a beeper provide unmistakable feedback at the moment of contact, so operators receive both visual and audible confirmation. The combined signalling reduces uncertainty during automated and manual probing sequences, especially in noisy or poorly lit environments. For technicians unfamiliar with probing terminology: the LED indicates contact visually while the beeper emits an audible pulse when the probe touches the workpiece, ensuring that signalling is unmistakable even across different workstations. These features reduce false triggers and contribute directly to higher first-pass quality.

Portable, battery-powered design for flexible deployment

Designed for mobility, the device is battery-powered using a single UM-5 12V cell, which eliminates the need for an external supply and permits quick transfer between machines. With a length of 157 mm and a weight of 0.4 kg, the sensor is easy to handle, mount and store, making it suitable for smaller production areas or service engineers who require a compact detection tool. The simple power concept and compact form factor mean it can be used where cabling is impractical, providing mechanical probing capability without complex installation.
