Boost your productivity: <br>30% faster probing with the HEIDENHAIN TS 460

With blistering speeds of up to 3000 mm/min, the TS 460 workpiece touch probe from HEIDENHAIN delivers up to 30% faster machine setup and in-process inspection times. The shopfloor benefits are clear: more productive time and a smaller carbon footprint. Does greater speed mean less process stability? Just the opposite. With a built-in blower and an optional collision protection feature, the TS 460 enhances measurement reliability through thermal decoupling, reduced collision damage and chip-free probing surfaces.
