Universal Touch Probe Replacement Available for HEIDENHAIN

SCHAUMBURG, IL (July 2016) – Just one wrong swivel and it's done:  the touch probe collides badly with the workpiece or the chuck. To ensure that such a collision no longer leads to a prolonged machine standstill, HEIDENHAIN now offers the TS 642, a universal replacement for the touch probes of HEIDENHAIN’s TS 6xx series. If the collision happens with one of HEIDENHAIN’s known touch probes - TS 640, TS 641, TS 649 or TS 632 -, the TS 642 is available as a universal replacement. This universal probe reduces the customers' stocking of spare parts because it can replace all the touch probes
