Touch Master’s Innovative Features Match Precision of Metrol

At Touch Master, precision in CNC machining is not just a goal, but a guarantee.

Since 1995, we have been a leading supplier, offering Metrol-compatible CNC tool sensors. 

Known in the industry as CNC Touch Probes, CNC Tool Presetters, and more, our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes stand as a pinnacle of accuracy, reliability, and innovation in the machining world.

Why Choose Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes?

 

Unmatched Precision and Repeatability

In the realm of CNC machining, precision is paramount. At Touch Master, we have consistently delivered this with our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes, products that are synonymous with unparalleled precision and repeatability.

Engineered to meet and exceed Metrol standards, these tool sensors guarantee micron-level accuracy, a crucial factor in minimizing machining defects and downtime.

The standout feature of our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes are their ability to maintain consistent precision. 

With guaranteed repeatability of 1μm, they ensure that every measurement is as accurate as the last. 

This level of precision is not just desirable but necessary in industries where even the slightest deviation can lead to significant errors and increased costs.

Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency

In today’s fast-paced industrial environments, productivity and efficiency are not just goals, but necessities. 

Our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes streamline the machining process by automating tool measurement.

This automation reduces the manual setup time significantly, by as much as 90%, enhancing overall productivity.

By eliminating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes allow machinists to focus on more critical aspects of their work, thus maximizing operational efficiency. 

This increase in productivity does not come at the cost of precision. Touch Master ensures that high accuracy is maintained throughout the machining process.

Versatility in Applications

Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes are not limited to a single type of CNC machine or application.

Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of machinery, including machine tools, robots, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Whether it’s for small milling machines or large machining centers, our tool eyes provide the same level of precision and reliability.

This versatility extends to various applications within the machining process, such as tool length measurement, setting the origin of blades in CNC lathes, and compensating for thermal displacement. 

They’re a one-size-fits-all solution that caters to a diverse range of machining needs.

Durability and Reliability

Durability is a key aspect of any industrial equipment, and our Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes are built to last. 

With an IP67 protection rating, they are designed to withstand harsh machining environments, where exposure to coolant, chips, and other abrasive materials is common.

This durability ensures that the tool sensor operates reliably over a long period, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Touch Master’s reliability is further evidenced by our low false detection rate.

Unlike non-contact sensors, which can be prone to errors due to coolant splatter or mist, Touch Master’s touch sensor method provides stable and consistent detection.

This ensures that machining operations are not hindered by sensor inaccuracies.

Customization Options

Understanding that each machining operation is unique, we offer a range of customization options for Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes. 

Customers can choose from various contact-surface sizes, measurement directions, and even detachable contact-surfaces for cost reduction. 

This level of customization ensures that the tool sensor can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of different machining operations, enhancing its effectiveness and utility.

The combination of unmatched precision, enhanced productivity, versatility, durability, and extensive customization options makes Touch Master CNC Tool Eyes indispensable tools in modern CNC machining. 

These aren’t just tool sensors. They’re a solution that addresses the myriad challenges faced in precision machining.
