About DEA: DEA (Digital Electronic Automation) was the Italian CMM pioneer that helped introduce gantry coordinate measuring machines. DEA was acquired by Brown & Sharpe in 1994, and Brown & Sharpe was acquired by Hexagon in 2001. The TF-series Touchfinger sensors are long out of production, which is why owners of legacy DEA and Brown & Sharpe DEA-era machines buy them as spares.
Who this is for: CMM repair, calibration and refurbishment shops, and anyone maintaining a legacy DEA machine (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Mistral, Scirocco, Global and DEA-era Brown & Sharpe bridge machines).
Honest notes: this unit has not been powered up or tested by us. We have not verified the trigger function, and we cannot confirm which DEA quill/ram interface it mates to - please check the photos against your machine before buying. Priced as an untested complete kit, not as a tested and warrantied unit.
