Activation methods

For activation of the infrared probe IRP25.50 there are four different methods (refer to Fig. 7). These methods are
described in the subsequent chapters.
Activation Method ME
Activation Method WS
Fig. 7 Overview of activation methods (stylus not included in the delivery contents)
1.8.1

Activation Method - AZ (patented)

Activation method AZ is a mechanical activation method. If the shank is equipped with a pullstud the probe is
activated via tension on the pullstud (refer to Fig. 7).
1.8.2

Activation Method - WS (patented)

Activation method WS can be applied to all machines with programmable through-spindle coolant or air blast
>3.5 bar (50 psi). The probe will be activated by the M-Code used for either coolant or air blast. The probe is active
until either command is switched off (refer to Fig. 7).
1.8.3

Activation Method - ME

Activation method ME is a mechanical activation method. The probe is activated by a mechanical switch inside the
HSK. If inside the spindle, the probe is on, inside the magazine the probe is off (refer to Fig. 7).
1.8.4 Activation Method – BI (bidirectional Activation)
In the case of activation method BI, the probe is directly activated via an infrared signal sent from the receiver. This
switch-on method only works with the infrared receiver IRR91.50.
