> 24 hourIt will work with any controller that uses NO, I’m sure they have one that is NC mine can use either so I didn’t care which one I ordered. I did put a resistor just to make sure there was no floating voltage it did work without it also. Mainly will be used for flatbed correction right now.

> 24 hourNot as repeatable as I had hoped for. Z axis not really usable.

> 24 hourThis exceeded my expectations. Ive boughten some other ones in the past. This is very well machined. Works very well for the precision i need. It has 4 set screws that let you adjust the concentricity unlike other cheaper ones. I would definitely recommend this seller and this product. We’ll just see if it stands the test of time now.

Same Surface, Different InsidePGFUN added the silicone o-ring seals for waterproofing and the probe uses high-quality electronics for true high measurement precision and high repeatability. |
Upgraded Digitizing CNC Touch ProbeThe shell is made of the fine frosted black oxidized aluminum alloy, which makes it looks better and last longer than others, besides, this tool can be converted to a tool setter by a tool setter base and flat tip. |
One-stop MarketPGFUN provides the spare parts and the related parts/tools of the touch probe, so you do not need to worry about the touch probe being unusable due to damaged parts. |
Application
Theoretically it can work with MACH3, Mach4, Dynamotion, LiNUXCNC, UCCNC, Centroid CNC or any other CNC control software with a probing routine and a breakout board that will accept probe input.
For Mach3 and GRBL
- Probe Wizard or ProbeIt are recommended for Mach3
- GRBLGRU is recommended for GRBL
For Other Control Systems
contact your software, and controller manufacturer or lookup forums for probe wiring and connections.
Note:
- The touch probe is developed for DIY applications, not recommended for industrial machining center
Q & A (keep updating...)
Q1: Why the accuracy not as advertised?
A1: the accuracy is true, to reach high accuracy, please ensure everything is prepared, like adjusting the concentricity, and the parts/ tools that may affect the accuracy are more sensitive than the touch probe.
Q2: Does this touch probe work for the non-conductive material like acrylic?
A2: This is a mechanical probe, it identifies and transmits the signal by physical contact, do not worry about the conductivity of the material.
Q3: why i can not measure the probe height by tool setter?
A3: when it works with other tools, like tool setter, please ensure the sensitivity of the tool setter is higher than this edge finder (trigger force less than 2.7N).
Latest Update
Q4: Can the concentricity be adjusted?
A4: yes, there are 4 silver set screws on the sides for concentricity adjustment.
Q5: Why the probe tip isn’t perfectly straight with the body?
A5: it may be caused due to violent shipping or over-triggering, you can correct it by adjusting the concentricity by the set screws. if the tip was bent, you need to replace the tip and then adjust the concentricity.
Tips
- 2 versions (NPN-NO & NPN-NC) of touch probe are available to choose
- The 3 pcs quick connector pack was equipped for wiring convenient
