m&h IRP40.50 Infrared Touch Probe

Description

The m&h IRP40.50 infrared touch probe for is ideal for inspection in tight spaces and was designed to address the needs of miniature machining centers. The m&h IRP40.50 is the world’s smallest self-contained wireless CNC probe with a diameter of 25 mm, a length of 44.2 mm without shank and stylus, and a probing force of 0.7N (XY). The probe’s small dimensions enable the measurement of small and delicate workpieces.

 

With the shank and stylus included, the IRP40.50 is slightly larger than a standard USB stick. Typical applications for the probe include micro-manufacturing in the firearms, medical, dental, additive manufacturing, and electronic industries or any manufacturing which involves small parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances. Small parts with tight tolerances are very difficult, if not impossible, to measure because there is little room in the Z-axis direction and the tool magazine. The IRP40.50 eliminates this concern and leaves enough room to measure in the Z-axis without the danger of collision. The stylus threading is M2 but allows fast probe cycles at speeds up to 2,000 mm/min.

 

Even with its small profile, the IRP40.50 has proven high data rate (HDR) infrared transmission. This feature guarantees that only the system's own signals are processed and disturbances caused by extraneous light are ignored. Newly developed electronics in this mini-probe enable them to use less energy, providing 400 hours of continuous run time. This results in the longest battery life in the industry.
