The Universal 3D-Sensor is a very precise and versatile measuring instrument for milling and EDM machines (insulated probe).

The 3D-Sensor is clamped into a tool holder and inserted into a milling spindle. Once clamped into the machine spindle, the run-out (T.I.R) is fully adjustable to Zero. Then, you are able to find exact positioning of the spindle axis on the edges of the workpiece. This allows for zeros to be set and the length to be measured quickly and easily. You may approach in any direction (X-, Y-, Z- axis – hence the name „3D-Sensor“). When the dial gage shows zero, the spindle axis is exactly on the workpiece edge.

I created outline graphics for all the different 3D sensor models from Haimer GmbH, which will be used in the redesign of their packaging. Below is a comparison between the outlines and the corresponding product photos.
