THE RANGE OF PROBES FOR TOOL CHECKS

ON MACHINING CENTRES
System description
The TLS line represents a complete range of compact probes
for tool checks on machining centres.
They may be used for the following checks:
Main features
• Tool breakage, in order to avoid damaging the workpieces • Excellent repeatability
and the machines, and the resulting production delays. • Reduced cycle times
• Tool length • Immunity to machine vibration
• Tool wear compensation, in order optimise working life • Highly resistant to coolants
• Determining tool offsets in order to reduce set-up times • High reliability
and eliminate the need to pre-set the tools before mounting
them in the machine

TLS probes offer excellent repeatability at high touch speeds,

which increases production quality and reduces cycle times
significantly, and this means that they represent the ideal
solution for mass production and unmonitored processing
applications.

The IP67 protection class (IEC 60529) guarantees high

performance even in hostile machining environments. The air
cleaning system guarantees that the probes are not affected
by shavings or coolant.

2 TLS
Tool length pre-setter
• For CNC controlled, vertical machining centres
• Tool wear/breakage check
• Thermal warping check
• Normally installed on a mobile horizontal table that moves the sensor into position and waits for the tool to touch the plate
vertically

TLS 3
High precision tool position detector
• For small scale, CNC controlled machining centres
• Tool wear/breakage check
• Thermal warping check
• Particularly suitable for small scale machining centres thanks to the small size of the plate
• Compact size for use in restricted spaces and various configurations
• Normally installed on mobile horizontal/vertical tables that move the sensor into position and wait for the tool to touch the
plate vertically
