The Econo-Probe may be inexpensive, but it's far from being cheaply built. Designed
and manufactured by Wildhorse Innovations especially for the home machinist and small
machine shop, this probe has the quality of products twice its price. This 3-Axis
touch probe can also be used as a tool height setter. Conversion from the touch
probe mode to the tool height setter mode can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.
Designed using the proven 3 point kinematical support concept, this rugged probe
has adjustment screws to maintain accuracy over time. Repair is easy in the event
of a machine crash. The probe is designed so that the low cost, easily replaceable
plastic contractor is sacrificed before extensive damage can occur.
The Econo-Probe interfaces easily to DROs and CNC systems. The interface is a simple
3 conductor stereo plug. The Econo-Probe interfaces with any device that uses a
10mm stereo jack. Adapters are readily available for devices requiring a different
physical interface.
