Touch Probe TC54-10

The infrared probe TC54-10 combines all the advantages of the shark360 measuring mechanism with the compact size of a Blum standard touch probe. The touch probe is used in turn-mill centers, turning machines or for special solutions in machining centers, e.g. for application of cranked styli.

The probe incorporates the newly announced and patented shark360-technology which introduces a modified face gear to the probe assembly. The shark360 measuring mechanism sets a new benchmark in accuracy and reliability within the measuring technology for machining centers.
