A tremendous advantage in measuring displacement and part dimensional changes can be gained by use of thin "side-looking" Capacitec® button probes. Their forte is in thin gap inspection and tolerances measured inboard and hidden in difficult to investigate products. They are often used in pairs to compensate for part misalignment and gage positioning. (read more)

The use of touch probes reduces setup times, helps to increase machine usage time, and improves the dimensional accuracy of the finished workpieces. Their setup, measuring and monitoring functions can be performed manually or automatically. Touch probes are used primarily on milling machines and machining centers, and ... -HEIDENHAIN Corporation (read more)
