Tool length measuring: Laser
(only for machines with traverses of at least X=250 mm, Y=220 mm)
A laser beam with a diameter of 30 µm permits non-contact measuring
of the smallest tool according to length, radius and concentric accuracy
even at high spindle speeds. The measured data is transferred auto-
matically into the Heidenhain contouring control and are taken into
consideration in the active programme. In case of deviations from
individually defined tolerances, automatic change of a sister-tool will
take place (if programmed).

Touch probe system with wireless infrared transmission
for the measuring of the piece to be machined.
A removable infrared touch probe placed inside the tool magazine
measures the height and the position of the workpiece. To be used
only in combination with the vector-controlled spindle.

Optical measuring device
Centring and controlling microscope with 30-fold magnification for
clamping in the spindle.

Measuring probe
Linear measuring system ± 0.001 mm for tools (not illustrated)
