OMP40

The OMP40 has now been superceded by the OMP40-2.

Compact touch probe with optical transmission, ideally suited to small machining centres.

About OMP40

The OMP40 probe has been designed specifically to meet the demands of small machining centres and the growing family of high-speed machines fitted with small HSK and small taper spindles.

OMP40 features and benefits

• Ultra-compact - only Ø40 mm and 50 mm in length
• Miniaturisation of electronics without compromising performance
• Simplified installation - ideal for retrofit
• Long battery life, minimal downtime, industry-leading economy
• Shock and vibration resistant

OMP40 system options

OMP40 with OMI		OMP40 with OMM / MI 12
Ideal for factory fitment by machine tool builders.		Offers installation flexibility making it ideally suited for retro-fitting in the field.

OMP40 software options

The following software packages can be used to program probing routines for work piece set-up and inspection on CNC machining centres

• EasyProbe - entry-level package for simple work piece set-up
• Inspection - basic set-up and work piece inspection cycles, with automatic update of offsets
• Inspection plus - an integrated suite of inspection cycles including vector measurement
• Productivity+™ Active Editor Pro - a PC-based software package with GUI, allowing the user to select features directly from an imported CAD model, making the generation of probing cycles even easier.
