VPS-401C Edge Finder "Deluxe" – Ceramic probe, 0.003 mm accuracy (Vertex)

The VPS-401C Edge Finder "Deluxe" is a ceramic precision probe designed for reliable workpiece referencing in milling and CNC set-ups.

• Ceramic probe for wear resistance
• High precision: 0.003 mm accuracy
• Supplied as a pair of probes
• Compact weight: 0.26 kg

Reduce set-up time with dependable precision

The core advantage of the VPS-401C is its tight 0.003 mm accuracy, which translates into more consistent first-pass quality and fewer manual adjustments during machining. By providing a quantifiable tolerance for edge detection, the unit supports faster measurement cycles and reduces the risk of scrap caused by inaccurate workpiece offsets. The direct consequence is improved throughput for batch production and smaller series where every second in the set-up phase counts. Operators benefit from a measurable performance increase without complex calibration procedures, because the probe’s design focuses on repeatable referencing rather than elaborate user routines.

Durable ceramic construction for long-term stability

The ceramic construction offers high wear resistance and dimensional stability under repeated use, which means less frequent replacement and steady performance across many cycles. At a compact 0.26 kg, the probe remains easy to handle while providing the rigidity required for precise contacting tasks. Supplied as a pair, the set ensures redundancy and quicker changeovers: a spare is immediately available should a probe need cleaning or replacement, keeping machine downtime to a minimum. The material choice also helps maintain consistent contact geometry, preserving measurement reliability over prolonged service life.

Seamless integration into workshop workflows

Designed as an edge probe for standard milling and CNC operations, the device supports straightforward referencing workflows and can be introduced into existing set-up routines with minimal adjustment. The light weight and compact form factor allow the precision probe to be accommodated in tight toolchanger and spindle environments, and the simple handling reduces operator fatigue during repeated set-ups. Metav Werkzeuge’s role as a European quality filter ensures that the supply chain behind this product is reliable, combining practical availability with expert advice for selecting the correct probing solution for each application.
