CNC Probe
Econo-Probe Electronic 3D Probe & Tool Height Setter
The Econo-Probe may be inexpensive, but it's far from being cheaply built. Designed and manufactured by Wildhorse Innovations especially for the home machinist and small machine shop, this probe has the quality of products twice its price. This 3-Axis touch probe can also be used as a tool height setter. Conversion from the touch probe mode to the tool height setter mode can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.
We have had the drawing for a similar design probe on the website for some time. Designed using the proven 3 point kinematical support concept, this rugged probe has adjustment screws to maintain accuracy over time. Repair is easy in the event of a machine crash. The probe is designed so that the low cost, easily replacable plastic contactor is sacrificed before extensive damage can occur.
The Econo-Probe interfaces easily to DROs and CNC systems. The interface is a simple 3 conductor stereo plug. The Econo-Probe interfaces with any device that uses a 3.5mm stereo jack. Adapters are readily available for devices requiring a different physical interface.
Visit Wildhorse's Technical Documents page for information on building, installing and aligning the Econo-Probe.
Information on using the probe is under development, and a note on connection to DRO350/550 is also being sorted.
