OVERVIEW

The KP-3 is a CNC Touch Probe intended for probing to find part zero’s, reference positions, locate bores, bases, corners, etc., and digitizing which allows for the copying of surfaces and shaped objects. The user should first become familiar
with the various parts and features of the probe as shown below to facilitate assembly, installation, operation, and calibration. Read the stylus installation and alignment procedures section before attempting assembly. Review the over-travel
limits are shown in the specifications. Exceeding the limits will damage the probe and stylus.
