Touch probes are a common method of inspecting parts in a manufacturing setting. With the help of a touch probe, the machinist can gain precision when measuring distances or checking for the correct fit. Touch probes have become a staple in the manufacturing industry. However, the advantages of CNC touch probes as a metrology tool are not necessarily widely known. They are, in fact, ideal for in-process inspection within these machine tools. When employed this way, the machinist gains access to extra functions plus the ability to forego inspection steps. All of this can help the machining process proceed more…
