LTO2/LTO3 LP2, LP2H and LP2DD probes can be used in optical, inductive and hard-wired systems. Optical transmission is best suited to field retrofitting and optional fitment.

The optical transmission method requires an LTO optical transmission unit. The LTO range provides a variety of solutions to suit different machine sizes, but each unit is functionally similar. They enable the probe to be turned on and off via an M-code, or turned on via an M-code and turned off via an internal timer.

LP probe options

LP2 probe		LP2H probe		LP2DD probe

LP2 is the standard lathe inspection probe. Its small body makes it suitable for gauging workpiece features with restricted access.		LP2H is designed for heavier duty applications where machine vibration or heavy stylus arrangements may cause unexpected triggers.		LP2DD contains a revised diaphragm assembly, ideal for grinding machines and other installations where dust-filled coolant is abundant.
