VPS-32 edge finder with LED by Vertex — 32 mm sensing diameter, battery powered

The VPS-32 is a compact edge finder equipped with integrated illumination for fast position referencing in machine set-up and metrology applications.

• Enhanced visibility with integrated LED
• 32 mm sensing diameter for stable contact
• Lightweight design at 0.7 kg for easy handling
• Battery-powered: UM‑5 (AA) ×2, 1.5 V

Faster machine set-up through clear edge detection

The probe provides reliable edge detection that shortens machine set-up cycles and helps maintain consistent reference points across multiple workpieces. The integrated LED improves visual confirmation in the working area, enabling quicker verification of contact without additional lighting. This approach means fewer interruptions during alignment, contributing to measurable time savings on repetitive tasks and supporting efficient production throughput.

Practical design that keeps downtime low

A compact construction with a length of 157 mm and a handling weight of 0.7 kg combines reach and manoeuvrability for positioning against fixturing and component edges. The battery supply uses UM‑5 (AA) cells (×2, 1.5 V), which are widely available and simple to replace, reducing service interruptions. The mechanical layout promotes stable contact even during fine adjustments, which leads to reduced rework and a more predictable set-up procedure on milling machines and inspection stations.

Built for workshop metrology and consistent results

Manufactured by Vertex, the device supports standard metrological referencing tasks in production environments, where repeatability is important for part accuracy. The robust sensing diameter of 32 mm offers stable contact and helps to avoid false triggers when aligning workpieces. The SKU VPS-32 is designed for integration into existing workshop routines, delivering dependable referencing without complex interfaces. For specialised applications or integration advice, Metav’s technical consultants can clarify suitability and mounting options.
