Photoelectric Edge Finder ±0.02mm Precision – CNC Milling Tool
Photoelectric Edge Finder ±0.02mm Precision – CNC Milling Tool
ALLOET Photoelectric Edge Finder – High-Precision Workpiece Location for CNC & Milling Machines
Take the guesswork out of workpiece positioning with the ALLOET Photoelectric Edge Finder (Model: XBQ01-MH). Built from durable stainless steel and engineered to a tight error value of ±0.02mm, this optical edge finder delivers fast, reliable X and Y coordinate detection — no rotation required. Whether you're operating a CNC machining center or a traditional milling machine, this tool keeps your setups accurate and your workflow efficient.
Key Features
- Optical Edge Detection: Instantly locates the exact edge of your workpiece on both X and Y axes without the need for manual rotation, saving setup time and improving repeatability.
- High-Sensitivity Position Sensor: A precision sensor combined with a bright red indicator LED and an audible buzzer gives you clear, unmistakable confirmation the moment the edge is found.
- ±0.02mm Error Value: Industry-grade accuracy with a resolution of 0.01mm — ideal for demanding metalworking and precision machining applications.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel body ensures long service life in workshop environments.
- Convenient Original Packaging: Comes in its original protective box for safe storage and easy portability — keeps the instrument protected when not in use.
- Compact Dimensions: Probe diameter of 9mm; handle diameter of 20mm (0.787 in) — fits standard tool holders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What machines is this photoelectric edge finder compatible with?
A: This edge finder is designed for use with CNC machining centers, CNC lathes, and traditional milling machines. Its 20mm handle diameter fits most standard tool holders, making it highly versatile across common workshop setups.
Q: Does this edge finder require rotation to detect a workpiece edge?
A: No — unlike mechanical edge finders, this optical/photoelectric model detects X and Y axis workpiece edges without requiring spindle rotation. The red indicator LED and audible buzzer signal when the edge is located, making setup faster and easier.
Q: What batteries does the ALLOET edge finder use, and are they included?
A: The device requires two LR1 / 1.5V batteries for operation. Batteries are not included with the purchase and must be sourced separately.
Q: What is the accuracy of this edge finder?
A: The ALLOET XBQ01-MH has an error value of ±0.02mm and a resolution of 0.01mm, making it suitable for precision metalworking and high-accuracy CNC milling and lathe work.
