The CENTROID KP-3 CNC Touch probe is designed for Probing (part setup, zero location setup, and CMM type location and measurement of part geometry), component/fixture/work piece setup, inspection and 3D or 2D digitizing/surfacing. The KP-3 CNC Touch probe is made in USA with patented technology. Centroid has developed the KP-3 from its 30 years of probe building knowledge to achieve this affordable, accurate, robust design. Commonly used on Milling Machines, Machining centers, Routers and Turning centers. The KP-3 is a state of the art Kinematic touch probe and is compatible with most any CNC control that has an input for Probes. Acorn to KP-3 connection is a simple 4 wire hookup just follow the schematic. CNC software configuration is simple one button press with the pre configured preset for the KP-3 using the Acorn Setup Wizard. Also compatible with Mach3/4, WinCNC, LinuxCNC, Pathpilot and others.
