TP20 NI Probe Kit 3: (1) Std & (1) Ext Force
The TP20 is a compact module changing touch-trigger probe. The two-piece design, comprising of a probe body and detachable stylus module(s), allows the use of a range of stylus configurations and extensions to access features on complex parts. Modules can be changed manually or automatically without the need for requalification of the stylus tip.
The TP20 NI Probe body is not affected by magnetic fields and the probe trigger must be inhibited through software during change cycles using the MCR20
The standard force probe module, identified by a black cap, is suited to the majority of applications requiring extensions up to 50 mm long. The standard force probe module can be used with the following range of styli:
The standard force probe module, identified by a black cap, is suited to the majority of applications requiring extensions up to 50 mm long. The standard force probe module can be used with the following range of styli:
- Straight styli up to 50 mm long
- Star and cranked styli up to 20 mm offset
The extended force probe module is identified by a brown cap. Typically, this probe module will only be required with large stylus assemblies and where spurious triggers caused by machine vibration and acceleration preclude the use of either the standard or medium force probe modules. The extended force probe module has the following recommended stylus limits:
- Any stylus type up to 60 mm long
- Star and cranked styli up to 20 mm offset
