Machine Tool Probe
The MP10 probe system is a new addition to the proven range of Renishaw
optical transmission probes, identical in size, shape and signal
transmission to the MP7, 8, and 9 probes. The MP10 offers users a
new mode of probe activation. The battery powered probe is switched
on by an optical signal and after operation is switched off by either
automatic time out or a second optical signal. Automatically
spindle-loaded like any tool, the probe is driven against work pieces and
fixtures, generating a trigger signal each time a surface contact is made.
The machine control then responds to this information which is optically
transmitted via the Renishaw MI12 interface. Probe contact positions
provide the data necessary for accurate unmanned operation. |
