Introduction
The automatic probe cover (APC) is a tool setting
probe that features a pneumatically-operated
protection cover for lathes and multi-tasking
machines. The APC is designed to protect
the stylus when it is mounted in a hazardous
environment on a machine tool.
The APC is typically used when the probe is
mounted in a harsh environment; for example,
where exposed to large pieces of ying swarf, or
long strands of swarf wrapping around the stylus
that can damage the probe when pulled away.
The pneumatically-operated cover will protect
the probe’s stylus and allow it to operate in this
hazardous environment.
