Introduction
The TS20 is a 2D touch-trigger probe which can be used for tool setting applications on CNC lathes.
During a tool setting rountine, each turret mounted tool is driven against the square tip stylus. When
contact is made, a trigger signal is generated and tool offsets are automatically recorded in the machine
control registers.
There are three versions of the TS20 probe, for 24mm, 32mm or 40mm tooling respectively.

Probe signal processing
A signal conditioning module (SCM) or interface unit (MI 8-4, HSI, or HSI-C) is required to process signals
between the probe and CNC machine control.
