DTS200S Compact Z-Axis CNC Tool Setter with Bellows Cover

The DTS200S is a compact Z-axis contact tool setter designed for automatic tool length measurement, tool offset setting and programmed tool checks on CNC machining centers. With suitable measurement macros, it can also support basic tool breakage detection.

The DTS200S has specified repeatability below 1 μm (2σ) at a probing speed of 50 mm/min. This value represents measurement consistency under defined test conditions, not absolute measurement accuracy.

Both models have a 20 mm tungsten carbide contact pad, 8.5 mm axial stroke, normally open output and specified repeatability below 1 μm (2σ) at 50 mm/min.

The primary visible difference is the sensing assembly cover. The DTS200S uses a pleated bellows-style protective cover, while the DTS200C has a different cylindrical contact assembly housing.

Yes. The supplied product photographs show a bellows-style cover surrounding the moving contact assembly. This design provides physical covering for the sensing mechanism. Specific bellows material, resistance to cutting fluids and replacement procedures have not been established by the supplied technical data.

The DTS200S features a 20 mm diameter tungsten carbide contact pad. The measuring surface is designed for repeated tool contact during automatic tool length setting.

The DTS200S has an 8.5 mm axial stroke, a 0.7 mm pre-stroke and a 5.5 mm trigger protection distance. These dimensions should be considered when programming the tool approach and establishing safe stopping conditions.

The DTS200S is specified for +Z triggering and is primarily designed for tool length measurement. It should not be described as a multidirectional tool setter for direct X/Y contact measurements.

For tool length and diameter measurement applications, Qidu offers multidirectional tool setters such as the DMTS-L and DMTS-R.

The DTS200S uses a six-core wired connection with a normally open (NO) contact output. The specified electrical contact rating is DC 24 V at a maximum current of 20 mA for a resistive load, with 10 mA recommended. Wiring and controller input compatibility must be verified before installation.

The DTS200S uses hard-wired signal transmission and does not require a wireless receiver. No battery configuration is specified for this model.

Yes, when integrated with suitable CNC measurement macros. Programmed tool length checks can compare measured values against reference dimensions to help detect significant tool length deviations. Actual detection performance depends on the measurement routine, tool geometry and configured tolerances.

Qidu provides integration support for major CNC platforms, including FANUC and Siemens. Compatibility with a particular DTS200S installation depends on the controller input interface, normally open signal configuration, measurement macros and machine installation conditions.
