The probe forms the heart of every coordinate measuring machine. It generates the signals during probing. With their high accuracy and repeatability they are specially matched to the dynamics of moving bridge, horizontal arm and gantry coordinate measuring systems.

TESASTAR probes represents the latest evolution in probing technology for coordinate measuring.

 

Where does the term touch-trigger probe come from? When the stylus comes into contact with the workpiece, a pulse is generated. Surfaces are scanned point by point with this method. TESASTAR offers various touch-trigger probes; these probes are suitable, for instance, for the measurement of simple geometries.

The TESASTAR probe has an integrated ball stylus that can be aligned as required. Indexable probes are marketed as the TESASTAR-i series. The TESASTAR-p stylus is a module with integrated ball stylus that can be attached to numerous manual or motorised probes. TESASTAR-mp makes use of magnetism: mounting module and stylus body are joined together by magnetic force.

Scanning at its best - this is what awaits the user with TESASTAR Scanning series probes. With these scanning probes it is possible to make all standard measurements such as discrete scanning, self-centring measuring and of course continuous high-speed scanning for fast, very exact shape and contour measurements.

Optical probes expand the possible applications of a coordinate measuring machine. They are always used when the issue is the exact inspection, with the aid of light, of delicate parts that do not permit contacting measurement. These parts include, among other items, easily deformable components or circuit boards.

The optical probe from TESASTAR is compatible with a many coordinate measuring machines.

If the measuring depth is insufficient or measurements are necessary in places with difficult access, probe extensions provide assistance. TESASTAR offers various probe extensions to increase the measuring range. Different lengths and connection types are available.

Fully exploiting the potential of a measuring instrument and perfectly configured for any measurement task: original accessories from TESASTAR optimise the efficiency and flexibility of your equipment. Accessories extend a measuring system to meet your unique requirements and ensure quality and cost-efficiency.
