image.png

High-precision machining on lathes requires accurate program control, but the presence of chips, dust and coolant in the work area may cause accuracy failure and contaminate the probe, causing it to be damaged.

Therefore, MT invented the measuring probe protection device MT-TPS (Touch Probe Shield) to solve the problem of accuracy failure caused by contamination of the probe. It uses pneumatic switches and air-pressure air cleaning measurement probes to ensure the highest accuracy during the measurement process.

In order to enable the protection device to be used on machine tools without pneumatic devices, MT developed a dual-way pneumatic distributor and connected it to the tool turret to operate the MT-TPS contact probe protective cover. Moreover, this device can also be used on the X11 power electric spindle to provide air pressure for it. Combining the MT-TPS with the X11 enables maximum precision internal grinding on conventional lathes.
