Touch Sensors Ensure Accurate Operations
Big Kaiser’s Base Master Red rapidly determines workpiece offsets and tool lengths.
The Base Master Red is part of Big Kaiser’s Base Master family. The touch sensor can be used with all types of machines and materials, including non-conductive cutting tools, workpieces and machine tools. The Base Master Red enables the operator to quickly touch off a tool with zero risk of damage or breakage, saving time and money.
Big Kaiser says that since the body set and measuring sensor are independent of each other, maintenance is simply a matter of replacing the measuring sensor. This enables users to avoid expensive repair costs and long delivery times. The Base Master Red has a tight repeatability of only ±0.001 mm. For maximum flexibility in real-world conditions, it has a solid magnetic base that mounts vertically, horizontally or at any angle.
