Value Collection XYZEdgeSensor 3D Edge Sensor Electronic

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XYZEdgeSensor is a three-dimensional edge-finding sensor used in precision machining and metrology applications. It detects workpiece edges and reference surfaces with an accuracy of 0.0005 inches, making it suitable for setup tasks on milling machines, machining centers, and coordinate-based fixtures. The sensor features a cylindrical contact head with a 0.2-inch head diameter and a 0.75-inch shank diameter for standard spindle or collet mounting. A visual edge alert mechanism signals contact, eliminating the need for audible or electronic readout integration in basic setups. The overall length is approximately 3.58 inches. Weighing 1 pound, it is a solid, handleable tool for shop-floor use.

This sensor is intended for use in machine shop environments where accurate edge detection and workpiece location are required before machining operations begin. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, CNC setup technicians, and toolroom professionals. The single-end design and standard shank make it straightforward to chuck into a collet or tool holder. It is well suited for both manual mills and CNC machining centers where repeatable workpiece referencing is critical to part accuracy.

Key Features

• 0.0005-inch accuracy for precise edge and reference detection
• 0.2-inch cylindrical contact head for consistent surface contact
• 0.75-inch shank diameter compatible with standard collets and tool holders
• Visual edge alert mechanism provides a clear contact indication without external electronics
• Electronic power type for reliable, consistent signal during use
• Single-end design for straightforward setup and use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank three-dimensional edge sensor suitable for milling machines and machining centers that accept a 0.75-inch diameter shank tool holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician familiar with workpiece probing procedures. Power down or place the machine in a safe setup mode before mounting the sensor in the spindle. Ensure the shank is fully seated and securely clamped in the collet or tool holder before operating. Do not exceed the sensor's rated contact force or use it as a cutting tool.
