The TP7M is suitable for high accuracy part measurement. It provides extraordinary precision and eliminates lobing errors and reseat errors.
The TP7M probe is an electronic touch-trigger probe that uses strain gauge technology, which offers a much longer life than kinematic touch trigger probes. The probe is 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter with autojoint mounting.
The TP7M incorporates a multi-wired autojoint connection. It is compatible with the PH10M/PH10MQ motorised heads, PH6M fixed probe head, plus the range of multi-wired extension bars (PEM).
