OTS Contact Tool Setting                            Probe

OTS cableless optical tool setting and broken tool

detection for vertical machining centres.

The OTS can be used as part of a multiple probe or

twin probe system, either with a second OTS (e.g. on

machines with twin pallets), or with a suitable inspection probe.

About OTS

For broken tool detection and rapid tool length/diameter measurement use the OTS, Renishaw's first tool setting probe with optical transmission. The robust, compact and cable-free design allows freedom of table movement, ideal for twin pallet or rotary table machines.

The OTS is available in two versions, one with 1/2 AA batteries and the other with AA batteries. This allows the use of the same battery type in the OTS as that of the spindle probe.

The OTS uses the OSI with OMM-2 optical interface for multiple probe use, the OMI-2T optical interface for twin probing (or single probe use) and the OMI-2 for single installations only.
