Electronic Edge Finders

Basically a precision engineered 'torch' that can be mounted in the tool holder of a milling machine. When the circuit between the main body of the tool and the 'probe ball end' is completed; (using the normal metal to metal connectivity of the machine between the quill and a metal workpiece) a bright indicator light, housed in the body of the tool is turned on. The 'probe ball end' is a precise 10mm diameter, concentric with axis of the tool holder; so the 'touched edge' can be calculated as plus or minus 5mm from that point. The height of the work face can also be measured. Available with a 20mm parallel shank for use with collet holders or chucks, or with a MT2 shank for direct fitting into MT quills, the Edge Finders provide a quick, accurate and trouble free method of establishing location data.
