Touch probes for machine tools

Touch probes from HEIDENHAIN were

conceived for use on machine tools—in
particular milling machines and machining
centers. Touch probes help to reduce setup
times, increase machine usage time, and
improve the dimensional accuracy of the
finished workpieces. Setup, measuring,
and monitoring functions can be performed
manually or—in conjunction with most
CNC controls—under program control.

Workpiece measurement
HEIDENHAIN offers TS triggering touch
probes for workpiece measurement right
on the machine. The probe is inserted in
the tool holder either manually or by the
tool changer. They enable you to use the
probing functions offered by your NC
control to automatically or manually
perform the following functions:

• Workpiece alignment
• Setting presets
• Workpiece measurement
• Digitizing or inspecting 3-D surfaces

Tool measurement
Successful series production hinges on
the prevention of scrap or rework and
the attainment of consistently good
workmanship. The tool is a decisive factor
here. Wear or tool breakage that goes
undetected for extended periods, especially
during unattended operation, result in
defective parts and unnecessarily increase
costs. Therefore, exact measurement of tool
dimensions and periodic control of wear are
absolutely essential. For tool measurement
on the machine, HEIDENHAIN offers the
TT touch probes and the TL laser systems.

With the TT triggering touch probes, the

contact plate is deflected from its rest
position, sending a trigger signal to the NC
control, during probing of the stationary or
rotating tool.

The TL laser systems operate without any

contact. A laser beam probes the length,
diameter or contour of the tool. Special
measuring cycles in the NC control
evaluate the information.

Experience and profile

HEIDENHAIN has been developing touch

probes for workpiece and tool measure-
ment on machine tools for over 30 years
now. It has set standards, for example,
with
• the wear-free optical sensor,
• the integrated cleaning flushing/blowing
feature for cleaning the measuring point,
• the SE 540—the first transceiver unit
capable of being fully integrated into the
spindle housing, and
• the collision protection for the TS 460
touch probe.

Of course, many years of experience in

continuous development have contributed
to these achievements. Numerous
improvements make working with the
touch probes easier, more reliable, and
ultimately more efficient for the operator.

Wear-free optical sensor

Because the optical sensor is free of wear,
it is able to provide the specified probing
repeatability even after a large number of
probe measurements (over 5 million
switching cycles). This means that touch
probes from HEIDENHAIN are excellently
suited for grinding machines. The optical
sensor features an optimized lens system
and an integrated preamplifier for stable
output signals.

Reliable measurement results

Clean measuring points are a prerequisite
for high process reliability. That is why all TS
workpiece touch probes from HEIDENHAIN
have blower/flusher jets for cleaning the
workpiece, either with coolant or
compressed air.

Collision protection and thermal
decoupling (option for TS 460)
Collision protection is a major topic at
HEIDENHAIN. The touch probes feature a
large deflection path and offer additional
safety with rated breaking points in the
stylus or the connecting pin to the probe
contact. For expanded collision protection
to include the touch probe housing of the
TS 460, HEIDENHAIN offers an optional
mechanical adapter between the touch
probe and the taper shank. In the event of a
light collision against a fixture or workpiece,
the touch probe can absorb the shock. At
the same time, the integrated switch
deactivates the ready signal, and the
control stops the machine.

Furthermore, the collision protection

adapter functions as a thermal decoupler.
This protects the touch probe from being
heated by the spindle.

Worldwide presence
In addition to the technical advantages,
HEIDENHAIN and its subsidiaries also
offer reliable service in over 50 countries;
regardless of the country of destination
for a machine with a touch probe, HEIDEN-
HAIN is there to support you on site.

Workpiece alignment
Exact workpiece alignment parallel to the
axes is particularly important for partially
machined workpieces to ensure that
existing reference surfaces are in an
accurately defined position. With the TS
touch probes from HEIDENHAIN, you can
avoid this time-consuming procedure and
do without the clamping devices otherwise

surface, two holes, or two studs.
• The CNC compensates for the
misalignment by rotating the coordinate
system. It is also possible to
compensate for it by rotating the table.

Setting a preset
Programs for workpiece machining are
based on presets. Finding this point quickly
and reliably with a workpiece touch probe
reduces nonproductive time and increases
machining accuracy. If probing functions
are available on the CNC, the TS touch
probes from HEIDENHAIN make it
possible to set presets automatically.

and boring machines, the machine operator
inserts the touch probe by hand into the
spindle. The spindle must be locked before
the touch probe can be inserted (spindle

with both vertical and horizontal spindles.

Infrared transmission
Infrared transmission is ideal for compact
machines with closed working spaces.
Thanks to reflection, the signal is received
even in otherwise inaccessible locations.
Infrared transmission has a range of up to
7 meters. The carrier frequency method
applied by the TS 460 offers very strong
noise immunity with extremely short
transmission times of approx. 0.2 ms for
the trigger signal. This permits exact
measurement results, regardless of the
probing velocity.

Radio transmission (only TS 460, TT 460)

Radio transmission is used mainly for large
machine tools. The range is usually 15 m,
but in practice much larger ranges are
possible under ideal circumstances. Radio
transmission operates in the free ISM band
at 2.4 GHz and offers 16 channels. The
transmission times for the trigger signal
are approx. 10 ms. Each touch probe is
uniquely addressed.

Hybrid technology: Signal transmission

via radio or infrared signals (only TS 460,
TT 460)
The dual signal transmission of the TS 460
combines the advantages of radio waves
(high range and large amounts of data)
with infrared signals (highest accuracy and
fast signal transmission). You can switch
between three possibilities: pure infrared
transmission (factory default setting), pure
radio transmission, or mixed operation. This
offers the following benefits:
• You save time per measuring cycle
without sacrificing accuracy if you
activate the touch probe by radio while
it’s still in the tool changer (i.e., outside of
the working space). The measurement is
made with fast—and therefore more
accurate—infrared transmission.
• You can operate one version of a touch
probe on different types of machines
(milling machines, lathes, grinding
Infrared
machines) and on any machine size (from
small and enclosed to large and open).

Regardless of whether you work with radio 15 m

or infrared transmission, you only need one (typical)

SE 660 or SE 661 transceiver unit.

being used along with it.

360° transmission range

The LEDs and receiver modules for infrared
transmission are distributed in such a way
that uniform transmission is available over
the entire circumference (360°). This
ensures a 360° transmission range for
reliable reception without previous spindle
orientation.

Angle of transmission
The wireless TS 642 and TS 740 touch
probes are available for adaptation to
the machine design with a horizontal
transmission angle of 0° or +30°. The
TS 460 permits communication with the
SE 540 in the normal version.

Radio transmission
The TS 460 touch probe’s radio transmission
depends on direction. The transmission Transmission range of TS 460/TS 642/TS 740
range is typically 15 m, and much larger
ranges are possible under optimum
conditions.

Transmission signal quality

The signal quality of the infrared or radio
transmission is shown on the SE by means
of a multicolor LED (see visual status
indicator). This makes it immediately clear
whether the touch probe is still within the
transmission range of the SE.

16
Optical status indicator

Touch probes and transceiver units from

HEIDENHAIN are equipped with LEDs that
also indicate the respective condition of the
output signals (stylus deflection, readiness,
etc.). This enables you to check the touch
probe status and the transmission distance
at a glance and simplifies both installation
and operation.

TS touch probes
Multiple LEDs indicating stylus deflection
are arranged along the circumference of
the TS touch probes so that they are visible
from any angle. On wireless versions,
these LEDs also show readiness.

Transceiver unit

The SE transceiver for infrared transmission

should be mounted so that it remains
within the transmission range of the touch
probe over the machine's entire range of
traverse. For radio transmission, sufficient
clearance from sources of interference
must be ensured. The lateral clearance to
metal surfaces must be at least 60 mm.

SE 660, SE 661, and SE 642 transceiver

units
Thanks to their high IP67 degree of
protection, these units can be mounted
as desired in the working space and can
be exposed to coolant. If the SE is to be
used both for a workpiece touch probe
and the TT 460 tool touch probe, it must
be ensured during mounting that it can
communicate with both touch probes.

It is fastened from the side by two M5

threaded holes. Appropriate holders are
available as accessories for simple
mounting. It is also easily to retrofit.

SE 540 transceiver unit

The SE 540 is intended for integration into
the spindle head. Except for a few cases,
for example on machines with quills, this
ensures transmission on machines with
very large traverse ranges or with swivel
heads. The transmission range of the
infrared signal is appropriate to the
mounting location. Because the SE 540 is
always above and to the side of the TS,
HEIDENHAIN recommends a +30°
transmission angle. The machine must be
designed to support the SE 540.

20
Probing

The workpiece geometry or position is

ascertained by the TS workpiece touch
probe through mechanical probing. To
ensure correct measurement, the
workpiece should be free of chips and
other foreign matter.

Upon deflection of the stylus, a trigger

signal is transmitted to the control. In
addition, the deflection is indicated by
LEDs on the circumference of the touch
probe.

The wireless touch probes feature an

integrated cleaning blower/flusher: The
probing point can be cleaned of loose
particles with the aid of compressed air or
cooling liquids through jets at the bottom
of the probe. Even chip accumulation in
pockets is no problem. This allows
automatic measuring cycles during
unattended operation. The cleaning blower
can only work on machines with a
compressed-air or cooling fluid duct
through the spindle.

Probing velocity Deflection of

Signal propagation times in the CNC as well the stylus
as infrared transmission and especially radio
transmission influence the repeatability
of the touch probe. Besides the signal
propagation time, the permissible stylus
deflection must also be considered. The
mechanically permissible probing velocity
is shown in the specifications.

Deflection of probe contact

The maximum permissible deflection of
the stylus is 5 mm in any direction. The
machine must stop moving within this
distance to avoid damaging the touch
probe.

21
Collision protection and thermal decoupling
(option with TS 460)

Mechanical collision protection

A mechanical adapter between the touch
probe and taper shank serves as collision
protection. The touch probe thus gives
slightly during light collisions of its housing
against a fixture or workpiece. An integrated
switch simultaneously deactivates the
ready signal, and the control stops the
machine. This collision protection therefore
functions only if the touch probe has been
activated.

The undamaged touch probe is recalibrated

(via the control’s calibration cycle), and you
can continue working. The collision
protection adapter does not cause any
additional error—not even at high The collision protection adapter protects the touch probe from physical
accelerations (e.g., during tool change). damage ...

Thermal decoupling
The collision protection adapter also
functions as a thermal decoupler. This
protects the touch probe from being
heated by the spindle.

If the spindle heats up strongly as a result

of previous machining operations, then
the touch probe can also grow warm,
particularly during measuring cycles of
long duration. This can lead to faulty
measurements. Thanks to its collision
protection, the touch probe with thermal
decoupling prevents heat from being
conducted from the spindle to the touch
probe.

Styli for TS
HEIDENHAIN offers probe styli with various
ball-tip diameters and stylus lengths. All
styli are attached to the TS touch probes
with an M3 thread. Starting from a ball-tip

TT touch probes for tool measurement

Together with the measuring cycles of the

CNC control, the TT tool touch probes en-
able the TNC to measure tools automatical-
ly while they are in the machine spindle. The
control saves the values measured for tool
length and radius in the central tool file. By
inspecting the tool during machining, you
can quickly and directly measure wear or
breakage to prevent scrap or rework. If the
measured deviations lie outside the toler-
ances, or if the monitored life of the tool is
exceeded, the control can lock the tool or
automatically insert a replacement tool.

With the TT 460, all signals are transmitted

to the control via radio or infrared beam.
Benefits:
• Greatly increased mobility
• Fast installation at any location
• For use also on rotary and tilting axes

Your advantage: With the TT 160 or

TT 460 tool touch probe, you can have your
CNC machine operate unattended without
losing accuracy or increasing scrap rates.

Probing

The hardened probe contact of the TT tool

touch probe permits direct probing of the
tool as it rotates opposite to the cutting
direction. Speeds of up to 1000 rpm are
permissible depending on the tool
diameter. The probe contact is quickly
exchanged: it is simply screwed into the
touch probe through a fitting hole.

The maximum permissible deflection of

the probe contact is 5 mm in any direction.
The machine must stop moving within this
distance.

The probe contact of the TT features a

rated break point in order to protect the
touch probe from physical damage due to
operator error. The rated break point is
effective in all probing directions. A rubber
sleeve offers protection from splinters.
A defective connection pin can easily be
replaced without requiring readjustment
of the TT.

Optical deflection display Connecting pin to the contact plate

LEDs on the TT 160 additionally indicate (shown without rubber sleeve)
deflection of the probe contact. On the
TT 460, the condition of the touch probe is
shown by LEDs on the SE transceiver unit.
This is especially useful for testing correct
operation. You can see at a glance whether
the TT is currently deflected.

Probe contacts
For probing milling cutters, the tool touch
probes are equipped with a disk-shaped
probe contact that is 40 mm in diameter
(for example). A disk-shaped probe contact
with a diameter of 25 mm is available as an
accessory. Because of its small weight, it
is particularly recommended for horizontal
mounting of the TT.

The TT tool touch probe can also be used

to calibrate lathe tools. The flat surfaces of
a cuboid probe contact (available as an
accessory) are contacted by the edges of
the lathe tool. This makes it possible to

Components

TL laser systems
The laser systems are available in different
versions for various maximum tool
diameters:
• TL Nano
• TL Micro 150
• TL Micro 200
• TL Micro 300

The devices have an integral blowing unit

to remove chips and coolant from the tool
with a blast of compressed air. TL Micro 300

The TL laser systems are optimized to the

spindle shaft speed of NC machines for
standard spindles and for HSC spindles
(over 30 000 rpm).

The TL Micro systems are available as

versions with cable exits and compressed
air connections on the bottom or on the
side. TL Micro 200

Measuring cycles
The NC control uses measuring cycles
to process the output signal of the laser
systems and make the necessary
calculations. Measuring cycles for the
TNC 320, TNC 620, TNC 640, and iTNC 530
controls from HEIDENHAIN are included TL Nano
with the TL laser systems. The measuring
cycles contain functions for:
• Tool setting with automatic transmission
of the data to the tool table
• Inspection of wear and tear with or
without correction of the tool data
• Identification with or without correction
of the tool data

Compressed air unit

A DA 301 TL compressed air unit, specifi-
cally designed for these requirements, is
necessary for operation of the TL laser
systems. It consists of three filter stages
(prefilter, fine filter, and activated carbon
filter), an automatic condensation trap, and
a pressure regulator with pressure gauge,
as well as three control valves. They
activate the sealing unit of the laser optics,
supply the laser system with sealing air,
and blow the tool clean. The PLC program
triggers the control valves.

Accessories
The accessories simplify the mounting and
maintenance of the TL laser systems.

39
Mounting

Mounting attitude
The TL laser systems fulfill the requirements
for IP68 and can therefore be mounted
directly within the machine’s working
space. For smooth operation, even in the
presence of coolant and chips, the
transmitter and receiver feature a
pneumatically activated sealing system.
The attachment of sealing air also provides
a very high degree of protection against
contamination.

The TL laser systems can be mounted in

both upright and resting positions on or
next to the machine table and must be
stably mounted to guarantee high
repeatability. The cutting edge should
rotate in the appropriate direction for
avoiding bothersome reflections and
refractions during measurement by the
laser beam.

The working space of the machine tool

should be limited in order to prevent
collision with the laser system during
machining.

Aligning the TL
In order to achieve the best possible
repeatability, the laser system must be
mounted exactly parallel to two NC axes.
For upright mounting on the machine table,
the horizontal alignment is ensured by the
mounting surface. The mounting tolerances
are included in the dimension drawings.
Deviations in the parallelism are particularly
noticeable as linear errors when the
lengths of very different tool diameters are
measured. It is therefore recommended
that the length of eccentric tools (e.g., end
mills, face-milling cutters) be measured on
the outside radius outside of the tool axis.

Mounting accessory for TL Micro

The mounting plate makes it very easy to
install a TL Micro laser system on the
machine table. Two stop pins on the base
allow you to remove and reinstall the laser
system without having to readjust it.

Protection from contamination

For the use of laser systems directly on

machine tools, effective measures have
been taken to protect the sensitive optical
system of the laser light barrier.

Mechanical protection
The lenses of the laser systems are
perfectly sealed against coolant and
chips by contamination shutters with an
integrated mechanical seal system. The
seal enables the optical system only for the
duration of the measurement. The shutter
is actuated pneumatically by the DA 301 TL
compressed air unit.

Sealing air
The transmitter and receiver of the laser Pneumatic systems in the TL with connections for sealing air (S) and seal control (V)
light barrier are protected by very clean
sealing air from the DA 301 TL compressed
air unit. It prevents contamination of the
optical system by coolant spray.

Probing

The TL laser systems operate as high-

precision light barriers without any contact.
A laser light source (protection class 2 as
per IEC 825) emits a laser beam. The
opposing receiver unit detects the laser
beam and thereby captures every
interruption. For any change in status—
such as when a tool interrupts the laser
beam or is removed again—the integral
electronics generate a trigger pulse for a
defined duration. This dynamic signal DYN
is transmitted to the NC control, where it is
used for capturing the position value. In
addition, the laser system outputs the
static signal STA for the duration that the
laser beam is interrupted.

Calibrating
Before measurement with the TL laser
system can be started, the system must
be calibrated, meaning that the exact
position of the trigger points relative to the
machine coordinate system must be deter-
mined. A reference tool, available as an
accessory, is used for this purpose. It has
a characteristic shape for calibration, with
a cylindrical dowel pin and a stepped
inspection diameter for measurement in
the positive and negative Z axis directions
(for determining the exact position of the
center of the laser beam in Z). The reference
tool is clamped into the tool holder, and its
length, diameter, and height are measured
very exactly. A cylindrical dowel pin can
suffice for simple applications. The lowest
possible amount of radial runout must be
ensured for the calibration measurement.

ID 560032-01

Probing strategies
The selection of the probing strategy also
influences the reliability of the measure-
ment. The measured value can be captured
either when the tool is moved into the laser
beam (“pushing measurement”) or when
it is removed (“pulling measurement”).
The pulling measurement ensures a high
degree of protection against the influence
of coolant and swarf, while the pushing
measurement is the better method for Measured value transfer with:
engraving bits and tools with very small • Pushing measurement
shaft diameters.
• Pulling measurement

Interface electronics for integration

To adapt the touch probe signals to the

CNC control, a UTI interface unit might
be required under certain circumstances.
This particularly applies for connecting SE
transceiver units to Fanuc controls or for
retrofitting old CNC controls with a touch
probe.

UTI 491
Die UTI 491 interface unit is a simple
optocoupler relay. It serves to galvanically
isolate the touch probes at the High Speed
Skip input from Fanuc controls.
ID 802467-01

UTI 240
The UTI 240 interface unit is required when
the TS and TT are to be retrofitted with a
common SE on the TNC 320 or other old
HEIDENHAIN controls. It distributes the
TS and the TT signals to the corresponding
inputs of the TNC and sets up a connection
to the PLC for starting the TT and
transmitting the warning signal.
ID 658883-01

UTI 150
The UTI 150 interface unit is required in
order to operate the TS 150 touch probe
on NC controls. It adapts the touch probe
signals to the control and serves as the
voltage supply for the touch probe. The
touch probe status is indicated by LEDs.
The UTI 150 is built into the electrical
cabinet of the machine.
ID 1133534-01

UTI 660
The UTI 660 interface unit is needed in
UTI 150
order to connect the TS 460 and TT 460
touch probes with the NC control. Up to
four TS 460 and four TT 460 units can be
operated using the UTI 660.
UTI 660
ID 1169537-01

UTI 192
The UTI 192 interface unit is used when
additional adaptations are required that
cannot be implemented in the CNC control,
such as the logical gating of signals or the
automatic starting of a touch probe, etc.
The UTI 192 is therefore usually used for
retrofitting touch probes (see the product
