As of this date the DeskCNC, TP-100 touch trigger probe is released.
This device is a mechanical contact probe capable of scanning a contoured
surface at rates of 20,000 points or more per hour. It is integrated with the
DeskCNC controller and software program. Routines, within the DeskCNC
software, permit jog selection of scanning zones and then fully automated
raster collection of surface data, resulting in the creation of a machinable,
.STL file.
The probe has a precision ruby tip for reduced wear and increased accuracy.
The shank is 3/8 inch diameter, to accommodate the capacities of the small
desktop mills such as the Sherline, Taig, and MaxNC. With an expected
useful life in excess of 10,000,000 data points, it is suitable for both commercial
and hobby use.
In addition to the probing capabilities, the package also includes a base and
contact tip that converts the probe into a precision tool length setter. In this
mode tool lengths are automatically measured and recorded in the DeskCNC
tool table.
Price is $399 in single quantities, DeskCNC customers are eligible for a
discounted price of $275.
Some pictures and additional information is available at:

The probe and tool setter will be on display at the Iron Fever Exhibition in
York, PA, USA, on August 9-10, 2003.
The IMService area will also display Vector XT Cad-Cam, and the new
DeskCNC servo drive system. In addition to the surface scanning, we
will be demonstrating waterline and tip radius compensated surface scans
with DeskCNC and the new probe.
If you are in the area, stop in and say hi! It's next weekend.
