Touch probe

Touch probes are tools used for precision measurements in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining processes. They work in a way similar to Coordinate-measuring devices. Probes are used to adjust different offsets when setting up a machining job. They can help make adjustments to tool lengths, diameter and length offsets as well as measuring various other workpiece dimensions. Probing systems can significantly reduce the time required for tool changes and adjustments in work-holding setups, and can streamline manufacturing processes.
