Wireless Metrol Radio Probes for CNC Machine Tools

Metrol radio probes (RC-K3X series) are built for workpiece centering and post-machining measurement directly inside CNC machine tools.

Why radio transmission

A 2.4 GHz radio link removes the line-of-sight limitation of optical systems, so the probe keeps communicating even when the workpiece, fixture or turret blocks the receiver. Signal hopping keeps the connection stable in workshops crowded with wireless devices.

Key specifications

  • Repeatability: 1.0 um
  • Protection class: IP68 – full resistance to coolant, oil and chips
  • Transmission: 2.4 GHz radio, no line of sight required
  • Applications: workpiece centering, in-process and post-process measurement

Typical applications

Machining centres where parts are clamped in different positions, multi-pallet production, and any process where operators currently centre parts with a dial indicator. Automating that step usually removes several minutes per setup and eliminates operator-dependent error.
