The 3D edge finder is said to provide fast, precise probing of reference edges, setting of the zero point and measuring with repeat accuracy of ≤ 0.01 mm.

The 3D edge finder is said to provide fast, precise probing of reference edges, setting of the zero point and measuring with repeat accuracy of ≤ 0.01 mm.

Rego-Fix’s 3D-EdgeMaster precision centering device is developed to provide shops with process reliability and improved production quality. The company says the measuring technology is shock and splash proof in accordance with IP 67 regulations, and the mechanism is protected by a predetermined breaking point in the ceramic probe insert.

The 3D edge finder is said to provide fast, precise probing of reference edges, setting of the zero point and measuring with repeat accuracy of ≤ 0.01 mm. Shops can adjust runout by setting the X-axis and Y-axis and can calibrate the measuring path, center the machine axis and determine the bore center. The probe can also be quickly and easily replaced, the company says.

Designed to shorten setup time and improve precision, the 3D-EdgeMaster measuring technology also includes MasterBar test arbors, which are well suited for calibrating the machine spindle, thereby increasing CNC quality and minimizing scrap costs.

The device is available in both inch and metric versions. A QR code is embedded on the product for convenient retrieval of the device’s information.
