With a light yet sturdy hold, these clamps help you keep workpieces in place hands-free for measuring and inspecting. Thread them right into your fixturing surface, whether it’s a plate, tower, or table. Because they apply less pressure than machining clamps, they won’t distort your parts, so you can take accurate measurements. While these clamps aren’t sturdy enough for use in machining, you can still use them for light fabrication work, such as laser engraving.

From towers and brackets to standoffs and supports, these components are the building blocks for your custom fixturing setup. They elevate parts so you can access a variety of angles for measuring and inspecting while protecting your measuring device from hitting the inspection table. You’ll often see them used with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). They’re not for use in machining applications.

Take 3D measurements even in the harsh machining conditions of a CNC lathe. IP rated and built with a strengthened glass window, these probes seal out coolant and resist scratches from flying metal chips. Integrate them into your lathe’s control system to catch errors while your part is still on the machine—saving time and cutting down on material waste. Since they physically touch a part one point at a time, they accurately check distances, diameters, and angles. They can also be used to position a workpiece, locate holes and grooves, and check for scratches, dents, or other imperfections. However, they don’t work well on more complex features, like how round or flat a part is.

All probes require a probe styli. You’ll also need a receiver and an interface (sold separately) to communicate with your CNC lathe. Receivers send your probe’s data to interfaces, which need to be wired to your lathe’s control panel.

Measure parts in 3D while they're still on your CNC machine. These probes integrate into your machine’s control system to save you time and help you keep parts in tolerance while machining. Because they measure with a stylus (not included) that physically touches your part one point at a time, they accurately check distances, diameters, and angles. They can also be used to position a workpiece, locate holes and grooves, and check for scratches and dents. However, they don't work well on more complex measurements, like how round or flat a part is. IP rated, they’re watertight enough to handle submersion, so you don’t have to worry about coolant seeping in.
