1. Introduction
Ningbo Jiangce Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Jiangce Technology) is a comprehensive service provider that integrates precision measurement equipment maintenance, technical services, and research and development of proprietary brand products. In 15 years of deep cultivation in the industry, Jiangce Technology has accumulated rich experience in the maintenance of measuring heads and cutting instruments. Based on a deep understanding of the internal structure and working principles of mainstream equipment, it has gradually established its own brand product line.
The positioning of Jiangce Technology’s proprietary brand products is a reliable alternative to international mainstream models – consistent with the corresponding international brand models in terms of core interfaces, installation dimensions, electrical parameters, and software compatibility, making it convenient for users to directly replace and use without changing machine configurations and macro programs. At the same time, relying on local maintenance and technical support teams, we provide faster response services.
This guide systematically summarizes the product information of Jiangce Technology’s proprietary brand probes and tool presetters, helping users match suitable models according to their actual needs.
2、 Product Design Concept
Jiangce Technology’s proprietary brand products follow the following design principles:
Interface compatibility: The installation interface, tool holder specifications, and electrical interfaces are consistent with international mainstream models, and can be directly replaced without changing the tool library settings and tool alignment program of the machine tool..
Parameter Benchmarking: Benchmarking international brand mainstream models on core technical indicators such as repeatability, triggering force, and protection level to ensure measurement performance meets conventional processing requirements..
Reliable Maintenance: Relying on the technical team of Jiangce Technology, we provide full lifecycle maintenance and calibration services.. Users do not need to send the equipment back to the original overseas factory, which can significantly shorten the maintenance cycle.
