Optical Transmission Probe
CTS-5
CTS-5 is a 5-direction touch trigger tool setter with hard-wired signal transmission used for broken tool detection and rapid measurement of tool length and tool diameter.
Tool condition (length and chips) is monitored to prevent machining defects due to wear and thermal displacement. Automated in-machine measurement eliminates manual setup work and machining defects resulting in improved productivity.
It is widely used on a variety of vertical and horizontal machining centers, gantry machining centers.
Prevents machining defects due to thermal displacement and wear.
Eliminates operator burden by reducing setup time by 90%, including conventional test cutting and manual measurement.
Eliminates dangerous on-machine tool setting.
Proven kinematic design.
Interference resistant hard-wired transmission.
Cost-effective and reduce scrap.
