Re: [Emc-users] Probe recommendations.

[andrew beck]

Funny thing is they are only 3 hrs drive from my house.

I'm actually going through his town Friday.

But that's a pretty pricy probe I think.  For something that is not wireless

I went to the web site, very sparse with its data, but that is a decent
enough price, that I wonder what the shipping may be, and from where?

I'm reference to your other comment about breaking probe stylii, have you

(40-50usd) if your probe is renishaw or compatible.

Hey Ken,

I believe so, but I'll find out from the manufacturer to be absolutely
sure.

I'm reference to your other comment about breaking probe stylii, have you
checked out fleabay? They seem to have relatively decent priced units
(40-50usd) if your probe is renishaw or compatible.

Does their probe use the traditional 3-ball/3-groove Renishaw design or...?

I have a working relationship with emg precision out of the UK. I will be 
installing, testing and reviewing one of their ceramic face fixed tool setters 
on my YouTube channel soon. They just released a line of infrared probes, much 
like renishaw, marposs, heidenhain, m, etc. They will be releasing a wired 
and RF version soon as well.

I went to the web site, very sparse with its data, but that is a decent
enough price, that I wonder what the shipping may be, and from where?

Thanks Andy.

Since we are discussing probes...
I've recently broken several tips due to stupidity/inattention and
replacements are expensive. Has anyone considered a safety breakaway based
on a kinematic coupling with the pre-loading supplied by rare earth magnets?

[Emc-users] Probe recommendations.

[andrew beck]

Hey everyone

Does anyone know if verser probes are still shipping and making probes?

https://vers.by/en/touch-probes/9-vers-pr.html

I know the owner is a fellow Linuxcnc guy so keen to support him plus there
probes look awesome.

Maybe my emails are bouncing.  But just wondering if anyone knows what they
are up to currently.

And if anyone has used their probes.

And finally.  Any other good probe brands to try that are good value for
money.  And accurate.

I started to get into the new qtpyvcp screens which is why I'm looking at
auto probing now.
Regards

Andrew
