Description

The TP1-IR wireless touch probe is used for precise workpiece setup and tool measurement on CNC machine tools or as a precision limit switch in automation. Signal transmission between the probe and receiver is via infrared light. On the PH version the receiver cable is protected by a flexible conduit. The COMBO set adds the CS16 clamping shank and an M4 D3×20 ruby stylus to the probe, delivered as a pre-centered assembly ready to install in the machine spindle without further adjustment.

Operating Settings

The probe has two modes: standby and operating. Deflecting the stylus wakes it into operating mode and activates READY; after a set idle time it returns to standby.

P1

Duty cycle of the IR LED

Radiated power, set to the distance from the receiver. A higher duty cycle shortens battery life; the quoted range and battery figures are for the factory value.

  • 10 %P1 = 1
  • 20 %FactoryP1 = 2
  • 30 %P1 = 3
  • 40 %P1 = 4
  • 50 %P1 = 5
P2

Transition to standby

Idle time from the last deflection before the probe sleeps. In standby it does not transmit and READY is inactive.

  • 1 minFactoryP2 = 1
  • 2 minP2 = 2
  • 10 minP2 = 3
  • 20 minP2 = 4
