A touching moment.


A hard-wired, touch probing system lets sliding-head CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) See numerical control.

CNC - Collaborative Networked Communication
 lathe lathe (lāth), machine tool for holding and turning metal, wood, plastic, or other material against a cutting tool to form a cylindrical product or part. It also drills, bores, polishes, grinds, makes threads, and performs other operations.  users measure turned and milled features of each component after machining, while it is still in the counter spindle spindle: see spinning.


A rotating shaft in a disk drive. In a fixed disk, the platters are attached to the spindle. In a removable disk, the spindle remains in the drive. Laptops use spindle designations to indicate the number of built-in drives.
 and before ejection. The gauging arrangement, which employs a fixed probe mounted on the headstock headstock

substantial wooden or metal fixed apparatus for restraining a cow by the neck in a crush, milking parlor or feed stalls. There is a bar or tongue which is swiveled at the bottom and can be opened at the top.
, is suitable for use on fixed-head, barfed, twin-spindle turning machines, provided that the counter spindle is able to move in the X-axis as well as in Z to affect the measuring cycle. Insert wear on hard material can lead to parts drifting out of tolerance, requiring manual intervention to update tool offsets. The ability to inspect such components continually, avoiding subsequent handling, and to update offsets automatically, reduces manufacturing costs, increases output, improves accuracy and reduces scrap to virtually zero, according to according to
prep.
