Marketed as a scanner switch, the TK2-42.03 appears in distributor listings under BK Mikro's broken tool detection line, signaling its role in tool presence checks and fault signaling within BK Mikro's tool-monitoring ecosystem. Several distributors describe this exact model as discontinued by the manufacturer, with refurbished units occasionally offered by third-party sellers, indicating limited new-production availability. In practice, this device would be used inside a BK Mikro broken tool detection system to verify tool presence or detect tool breakage and communicate a KO\/diagnostic signal to the machine controller, triggering a safe stop to prevent damage or defective parts. The BK Mikro family emphasizes safety in automated production through sensor-based monitoring and configurable interfaces for CNC\/PLC integration, as highlighted in BK Mikro's product literature and related tool-monitoring resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BK","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51677079175470,"sku":null,"price":689.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_f9fa3250-a5b9-4815-88aa-b1ddaa2bb618.jpg?v=1769557481","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/bk-mikro-tk2-42-03-broken-tool-detection-detector","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
