Bi-directional probes must be used on lathes for workpiece measurements, whereas a
mono-probe can also be used for this purpose for milling and machining centers.
Multidirectional probe (3D)
This probe type can be used unconditionally for measuring tool and workpiece dimensions.
Bidirectional probe
This probe type is handled in the same way as a mono probe in milling and machining
centers. Bi-directional probes can be used to take workpiece measurements on lathes.
Mono-directional probe
This probe type can be used, with only a few restrictions, to take workpiece measurements
on milling and machining centers.
The spindle must be capable of being positioned with the SPOS NC function if the
measurement is to be carried out in different axis directions/axes. The probe must therefore
be aligned according to the measuring task.
