The Microform Electronic Contact Probe 

and the

 Microform Electronic Tool Setter

In this highly competitive market which Engineers face today, it is essential that every step be taken to ensure that companies are operating as efficiently as possible.

Firms that can make savings in the set-up time for their milling machines and can reduce the scrap they generate will quickly find that their savings will be considerable.

The Microform Electronic Contact Probe and the Microform Electronic Tool Setter are manufactured in our own works

 ELECTRONIC CONTACT PROBE

FOR USE ON HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL MACHINING CENTRES WHEN SETTING THE WORKPIECE CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM

ADVANTAGES

1. SIMPLE & EASY    to use to quickly set up the work-piece for machining

2. BUILT IN OVER_TRAVEL (6MM) Gives extended life of probe and reduces possibility of accidental damage

3. SMALL PROBE DIAMETER Designed to access difficult areas (Shallow faces/slots/pockets) with great accuracy

4. ACCURATE  Repeatability  better than 5 microns

5.   3 Axis overtravel X Y and Z

ELECTRONIC TOOL SETTER

ADVANTAGES

1. EASY/ACCURATE/TOOL LENGTH SETTING

2. SIMPLICITY: Easy to use: Will eliminate chipped broken tooling when setting up the work-piece

3. ACCURATE: Repeatability better than 5 microns

4. ROBUST CONSTRUCTION: Includes a sealed stem against dirt and water. Maintenance Free.

YOU CAN USE THE TOOLSETTER ON ITS OWN, OR TOGETHER WITH THE CONTACT PROBE TO OBTAIN EVEN GREATER WORK-PIECE SETTING

We recently purchased a contact probe from Microform. This probe has been a good investment for us and is well worth the money.

It improves the accuracy of setting the work piece relative to the spindle centreline, speeds up the procedure of setting up the workpiece and is easy to use.

It eliminates damaging work, saves us time and money and is useful as a means of measuring

Yours Faithfully

We purchased an edge finding probe manufactured by Microform. After using this tool on our range of CNC machining centres for several months we have found it to be very accurate with good repeatability. This probe also gives good access into difficult and complex shapes. Overall we have been very pleased with the build quality and reliability, I would say that this is the tool machine shops have been looking for.
