Heidenhain 511395-03 Right Angle Digital Probe

The Heidenhain 511395-03 Right Angle Digital Probe is a right-angle, digital-output probing device from Heidenhain, identified by the part number 511395-03. It is used in CNC machining and metrology workflows to collect positional data and help establish workpiece coordinates during setup and probing routines. The right-angle design lets it reach into tight corners and access features that may be difficult for standard probes, improving measurement versatility in complex geometries. As a digital probe, it provides output signals that feed into a probing or machine-control system, enabling automated data collection and repeatable measurements. This model is part of Heidenhain's family of digital probing instruments, which are commonly employed to verify part features, locate datum references, and support calibration cycles in manufacturing environments where precision and repeatability are essential. Typical applications include tool length and workpiece setup, datum establishment, and feature probing in milling, turning, and inspection contexts, where accurate coordinates translate into reliable part geometry.
