Touch Sensor (Option) - Sony LH61 Bedienungsanleitung

5-10. Touch Sensor (Option)

• Attach the Touch Sensor on the main spindle of a milling machine, for example, and use it in
combination with the display unit.
• The feeler ball of the Touch Sensor is semi-fixed by a spring and its flexible construction can
absorb shock when pressed against the datum plane, which enables accurate datum point
detection without causing a deflection on the axis.
• The feeler ball, which has been forced aganist the workpiece, returns to the center of the axis
when the workpiece is moved off.
• Move off the Touch Sensor immediately from the workpiece when it touches the workpiece.
Do not bring the shaft into contact with the workpiece as doing so will decrease precision and
may cause damage.
• The Touch Sensor can operate only with an electroconductive workpiece. Check the workpiece
material before use.
