TSCHORN 4.0

Workpiece and tool probes

Accuracy that matches your machine — not an expensive overkill, but practical, real-world precision.

Our probing systems are specifi cally designed for use on machining centers. With us, you only pay for the accuracy your machine can actually achieve — no unnecessary and expensive sub-micron precision. The receiver can fl exibly be placed outside. This means maximum efficiency at an optimal price-performance ratio.

With the new electronics, both systems offer even greater reliability and ease of use:
- Longer runtime: High-performance battery with approximately 1 year of life (previously 2 months)
- Optimized probing behavior: Measure even faster and more reliably
- Improved accuracy: WP310 now with repeatability of ±2.5 μm (previously ±3 μm)
- Compact design: Significantly reduced overall length of the WP310

Your benefits at a glance:
- Fast results: Positionieren & Position and measure workpieces and tools directly during the machining process
- Operator-independent: Accuracy remains consistent, no matter who uses the system
- Robust & flexible:Probing even in wet environments
- Interchangeable styli:Maximum flexibility for different applications
- Tool breakage monitoring & correction:Ensures safety and productivity during ongoing processes

Easy retrofit – without PLC intervention

Many customers believe that a probing system is not worthwhile for their existing machine – we prove the opposite! With TSCHORN 4.0, you can retrofit your used machine cost-effectively:

No intervention in the PLC required
Activation by simple deflection – no PLC programming necessary
Automatic switch-off after a programmable time
Significantly lower installation costs

This makes retrofitting simple, fast, and economical.

Tool probe WP310 & workpiece probe TP126

Advantages:
- tactile functionality - reacts to touch
- exchangeable styli
- measurements are possible in the machining process with corrections
- tool correction during machining
- Tool breakage control

Application range: Zero point probing and tool probing, even in a wet environment

Functionality: The workpiece probe as well as the tool probe detect any movement of the probing head or deflecting of the probing ball. At the moment of deflection, a probing signal is sent to the receiver. The receiver is connected to the machine control and forwards the probing signal for further processing by the measuring macros (measuring cycles) integrated in the machine control.

Alternative to the TP125: If you only want to measure your workpieces and are looking for a wired solution, we recommend our TP135.

Software: Smart-Macros from Tschorn

Smart-Macros from Tschorn are available free of charge for Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain and Mitsubishi.

Tschorn Smart-Macros have been especially developed and synchronised for the TSCHORN 4.0 probing systems. Original Tschorn Smart-Macros enable best probing and repeatability precision.

Spindle orientation: Generally, probing is possible on all machines, whether with or without spindle orientation. Highest accuracy can be achieved with spindle orientation. Errors in the machine, the run-out or the probe are compensated during calibration. Without spindle orientation, this compensation is limited.

3 way probing:
In order to probe as quickly and precisely as possible, the probing process is divided into 3 consecutive probings:
1. The first probing is made with fast feed and saves movement time.
2. This is followed by a second probing with medium feed.
3. Finally, the third probing follows with a slow measuring feed for maximum precision.
