Optical Edge Finder

Functionality: If a conductive workpiece and the probing ball touch (within the axis X, Y and Z), the electrical circuit gets closed and a LED signal appears. When the LED signal appears, the workpiece‘s edge is reached with a distance of 5 mm (= radius of probing ball Ø10). n Z axis, the reference length has to be measured and taken into account respectively.
Application: For accurate zero point determination and bore centers to the spindle with an accuracy of probing smaller than 0.010 mm.
Please note: Protection against humidity is essential for the edge finder due to the built-in electronical components. The optical edge finders are available in all usual shank sizes. The functionality of the 2D edge finder is the same as in the 3D version.
Even more precise? No problem: Our 3D precision probe is a highly precise measuring device with an accuracy of <=0,005 mm.
Did you know? The optical edge finders are also available as an optical + acoustic version.

  • Whilst considering the purchase of a new Mazak VRX i300AWC 5 axis machining centre with 32 pallets, we looked at various options for work holding, and one option was purchasing “5th Axis” self centering vices through Grip-Tec. After viewing these vices in situ at another company, and then getting a sample sent for evaluation from Jason Short of Grip-Tec, we felt that these vices were the best marriage between the machine tool and work holding, that would best suit our production. We then proceeded to purchase 32 off V562X (5th Axis) vices supplied by Grip-Tec, which completed our machine installation. We felt that these vices gave us the security and flexibility that we require from our work holding and this also complemented our new Mazak VRX i300AWC very well. The communication with Jason and Kate from Grip-Tec was excellent and continues to be so. All promised delivery dates and quality has not only met but superseded expectations.
