Hexagon original accessories for measuring systems in the machine tool ensure maximum precision and reliability in production. The shank establishes a secure connection between the probe and the spindle in the machine tool. Hexagon offers a wide range of shanks for various interfaces and different probe activation methods.

Interface

• D28

Shank Activation Method

• Water-switch: This mechanical activation method can be applied to all machines with programmable through-spindle coolant or switchable air blast > 3.5 bar. The touch probe is activated by programmed switching on of the medium by the M code. The probe is active while under pressure.
