The Universal 3D-Sensor is a very precise and versatile edge-finding measuring instrument for milling and EDM machines (insulaed probe). Made entirely at the HAIMER Germany facility, it is a instrument that no shop can do without.
The 3D-Sensor is clamped into a tool holder and inserted into a milling spindle. Once clamped into the machine spindle, the run-out (T.I.R) is fully adjustable to zero. Then, you are able to find exact positioning of the spindle axis on the edges of the work piece. This allows for zero to be set and the length to be measured quickly and easily. You may approach from any direction (X-, Y-, Z- axis - hence the name "3D-Sensor"). When the dial gauge shows zero, the spindle axis is exactly on the work piece edge.
Only the HAIMER 3D-Sensor allows for the edge to be found on the first try. No calculating of the probe’s ball diameter is necessary - just zero it out! Problems with mathematics or calculations are eliminated, allowing for fewer operator errors. Our 3D-Sensor is quick and easy, reducing the extra time needed with most edge-finders, thus increasing the productivity and accuracy of the operator.
Short and long probes are available. The sensor probes can be changed without ever needing a tool. No re-calibration of the unit is needed after changing sensor probes.
Simply bring the needle to Zero, and that is your edge with any probe. The accuracy is such that you are able to inspect your parts right on the machine. Tram vises, find the centre of your bore, find your edge and inspect parts - it is all possible with the HAIMER 3D-Sensor. The unit has a large overrun distance as well as fully tested preset probe breaking points, giving the sensor long life. All Universal 3D-Sensors are individually tested and adjusted during assembly in order to achieve maximum measuring precision.
