TS20 probe system: TS20 basics
TS20 mounted on an automatic arm with MI 8-4, HSI, or HSI-C interface
MI 8 interface
An inhibit input enables an optical transmission type inspection probe and interface to be used on the
same machine input as the TS20.
MI 8-4 interface
Where an inspection probe with optical transmission and an MI 12 interface, are used on the same
machine as the TS20, the MI 8-4 interface is recommended.
The MI 8-4 interface accepts the probe output signal from the MI 12 interface. The user can then select
between inspection or tool setting probe outputs by selecting an ‘M’ code.
