Product Description
Professional Tool-Setting Solution
The Renishaw TS27R together with the MI 8-4 interface provides a rugged, hard-wired tool-setting solution for vertical and horizontal machining centres. The TS27R probe measures tool length and diameter and detects broken tools with unidirectional repeatability down to 1.0 µm.
Its stylus options include disc and square tips for different tool geometries. The MI 8-4 interface accepts the TS27R hard-wired output, provides configurable axis selection and protected transistor outputs, and presents probe status plus axis movement LEDs for easy diagnostics. The combined kit simplifies wiring and automates accurate tool set-up and in-cycle broken-tool checks — ideal for production machining and robotic cell integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the TS27R probe?
The TS27R is a tool-setting probe designed to measure tool length and diameter on CNC machining centers, as well as perform broken tool detection to prevent machining errors.
What level of accuracy can I expect from this system?
The system provides exceptional unidirectional repeatability of down to 1.0 µm (2σ), ensuring high-precision tool measurement and consistent production quality.
Is the MI 8-4 interface required for the probe to work?
Yes, the MI 8-4 interface is essential as it processes the hard-wired signals from the TS27R probe, provides diagnostic LEDs, and converts them into transistor outputs for the CNC controller.
What materials are the styli made of?
The probe supports various options, including Tungsten Carbide for disc styli and Ceramic for square-tipped styli, depending on your specific tool geometry requirements.
How is the MI 8-4 interface mounted?
The MI 8-4 interface is designed for easy integration and can be mounted either on a standard DIN rail or pad-mounted within the machine's electrical cabinet.
How do you ensure the quality of the products before shipping?
Every unit undergoes strict inspection and functional testing before shipment to ensure it meets original specifications and performance standards.
