Part, Vise and Fixture Probing: Automatically Set Zero points fast and accurate.
3 axis CNC Touch Probe triggers in all directions. Use the KP-1 probe to quickly and accurately find zero points on a vise, fixture or part. Eliminate operator error when setting zero points, finding edges, or center locations of bosses or bores, slots and webs. Eliminates the need for a center finder or an edge finder. You'll never have to spend 30 minutes using a center finder to locate the center of a bore again. The probe will find and set the center of a bore in just seconds. In addition, the probe can be used to verify part dimensions and locations, 3D digitizing and many other applications. The KP-1 mounts in any 1/2" tool holder and has concentric adjustment screws. Also compatible with Mach3/4, WinCNC, LinuxCNC, Pathpilot and others.
