The ultrasmall infrared probe IRP40.50 measures only 25 millimeters in diameter and 42.4 millimeters in length, making it suitable for compact machining machines. Its design allows for sufficient room for Z-axis measurements without the risk of collision. The IRP40.50 has a low probing force of 0.7 N (in the X/Y directions), which makes it accurate enough for handling small and fragile workpieces. Additionally, the m&h IRP40.50 features the reliable HDR infrared transmission technology.
Applications:
– Establishing the workpiece zero point
– Determining the position of the workpiece
– Controlling the dimensions of the workpiece
Benefits:
– Reliable bidirectional HDR infrared transmission from the world’s smallest infrared probe
– Cost-effective and energy-efficient design
