SFP2 probe change system

The REVO-2 probe change system is designed to allow automatic REVO-2 probe and accessory changing on a CMM. For optimum metrology, SFP2 probes and holder / module configurations should be changed automatically using REVO-2 change ports (RCP TC-3 and RCP2). These ports are mounted on the modular rack system (MRS or MRS2).

NOTE: Please refer to the REVO-2 change port system spacing guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5408) for full details of the recommended spacing for positioning all sensors and artefacts on the MRS / MRS2 rail.

RCP TC-3

The RCP TC-3 is a thermally controlled port for changing RSP3-6 and SFP2 probes.

Dimensions

RCP TC-3 - dimensions

NOTE: Dimensions in mm (in).

Key features of the RCP TC-3 are:

  • Maintains the probe at the operating temperature when not in use, for optimum metrology
  • Allows RSP3-6 and SFP2 probes to be rapidly interchanged automatically
  • Mounts on the MRS or MRS2 to allow multi-port systems to be created
  • Not to be used for changing holder / module configurations, unless it is attached to the SFP2 probe

RCP2

The RCP2 is configured to change holders for the following probes:

  • RSP2
  • SFP2
  • RSP3-6

Dimensions

RCP2 - dimensions

NOTE: Dimensions in mm (in).

Key features of the RCP2 are:

  • Allows RSP2 V2 stylus holders (RSH175 / 250 / 350 / 450 / 500), SFP2 holder / module configurations and RSH3-6 stylus holders (RSH3-6#) to be rapidly interchanged automatically
  • Mounts on the MRS or MRS2 to allow multi-port systems to be created
  • Not to be used for changing RSH3-1 / 2 / 3 / 4 stylus holders or REVO probes

NOTE: Please observe the orientation of the probe in the RCP TC-3.

NOTE: The stylus tool is used to keep the port lid open during calibration. It must be removed for normal operation. Holder / module configurations should not be manually fitted to the RCP2.
