Part, Vise and Fixture Probing: Automatically Set Zero points fast and accurate.
3 axis CNC Touch Probe triggers in all directions. Use the KP-1 probe to quickly and accurately find zero points on a vise, fixture or part. Eliminate operator error when setting zero points, finding edges, or center locations of bosses or bores, slots and webs. Eliminates the need for a center finder or an edge finder. You’ll never have to spend 30 minutes using a center finder to locate the center of a bore again. The probe will find and set the center of a bore in just seconds. In addition, the probe can be used to verify part dimensions and locations, 3D digitizing and many other applications. The KP-1 mounts in any 1/2″ tool holder and has concentric adjustment screws. Also compatible with Mach3/4, WinCNC, LinuxCNC, Pathpilot and others.

Our new wireless probe has a waterproof rating of IP68 and has multiple security outputs such as: Low battery, Signal strength and Error signal. The probe is activated with a signal that you send to the receiver. This signal is often assigned an M code. When the activation signal goes out, the probe will automatically turn off. This ensures an extended battery life. The switching signal can be connected NO and/or NC.

Specifications:

• Repeatability: (50mm stylus, Speed of 60mm/min) <1um（2σ）
• Trigger Direction:  ±X，±Y，+Z
• Trigger Force (Stylus of 50mm): XY plane 0.4~0.8N  Z: 5.8N
• Protective Range:  XY plane +/-12.5°  Z: 6.35mm
• Signal Transmission Mode: Radio Transmission
• Operating Range: 20M
• Trigger Lige: >10 million times
• Transfer activation: M Code
• Jump signal/error alert/low voltage
• alert/signal strength
• Weight Without Shank: 280g
• Battery Model 2pcs Lithium battery 14250
• Battery Life:
  Standby >1280 days
  3000 trigger/day 460 days
  8000 trigger/day 220 days
  15000 trigger/day 130 days
• Continuous work>2.5 million times
• Sealing IP68
• Working temperature 0-60℃

1. Multiplexer – combining the signals of two sensors into one common output.

2. Converter – any type of sensors at the input and any type of output (PNP-NPN-NC-NO).

3. Anti-bounce – 0, 5, 25, 100 ms.

4. Anti-vibration – ignores triggers from shock and vibration.

5. Protection – against short circuit, polarity reversal, overload, overvoltage.

This device is designed for easy connection to the controller of any wired and wireless sensors, including third-party sensors.

Connection example:

Cable shields are recommended to be connected to the SHILD pins on both inputs and output.
The main rule when connecting the cable shields is that they should all connected to GND in one place and not create ground loops.
If we consider the CM-TSm-PR connection separately, then the connection to GND is available in the CM using a jumper GND-SHILD. Inside Tsm and PR there is no connection to GND.
For the controller – CM-TSm-PR connection, you need to know if there is a cable shield connection to GND inside the controller. If there is, then the jumper in the CM must be opened.
Purpose of DIP-8 Switch

NO – normally open connection

NC – normally closed connection

Anti-bounce OFF (input – yellow graph, output – green)

Anti-bounce ON

Anti-vibrationOFF

Anti-vibration ON (a fixed 5ms delay is added, which should be taken into account when measuring)
