Features:
- Pneumatic probe actuation: Regulated air extends the contact head independently of the machine slide.
- Controlled measurement contact: Pressure, alignment and target presentation determine how the probe seats on the part.
- Environmental installation: The air connection contributes to the documented ingress-protection condition.
GT-A10 forms the contact-sensing portion of a GT measurement channel for automated gauging.
The pneumatic circuit must deliver stable, clean pressure and allow the probe to extend and return without binding.
A qualified fixture demonstrates repeatability across the real part range while preventing excessive contact force or surface damage.
Apter Power can help confirm the KEYENCE GT-A10 Air-push Contact Sensor Head, pneumatic setup and compatible measurement system before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Pressure control: Use clean regulated air and keep the setpoint inside the manufacturer’s operating range.
- Tube connection: Secure the approved tube and keep the outlet path free from contamination.
- Response check: Observe extension and return through repeated cycles before measuring parts.
- Failure state: Decide how the machine reacts if air pressure or probe return is lost.
- Normal contact: Align the probe with the measured surface to avoid side loading.
- Travel margin: Set the mounting position so all valid parts remain inside the working stroke.
- Rigid support: Prevent fixture deflection from becoming part of the measured displacement.
- Surface protection: Confirm the contact does not damage or deform the target.
- Reference check: Establish the measurement baseline with an approved master.
- Cycle repeatability: Test repeated pneumatic actuation on representative parts.
- Temperature behavior: Recheck after the machine reaches normal thermal conditions.
- Reject proof: Challenge both accepted and rejected samples before enabling automatic disposition.
- Automated height gauging: Extends a probe to compare part position or height.
- Seating confirmation: Detects whether a component reaches the qualified assembly position.
- Thickness checks: Measures contact displacement when the fixture controls part presentation.
- In-process inspection: Adds pneumatic probe actuation to a production measurement station.
