Twin probe system

About the twin probe system

The new OMI-2T optical interface enables two probes to be used, typically, this would be Renishaw's new OTS tool-setter and OMP40-2 inspection probe.

The OMI-2T optical interface uses Renishaw's modulated optical transmission, offering the highest level of resistance to light interference. The OMI-2T activates either the spindle probe or tool-setting probe and gives visual indication of the activated device.

For broken tool detection and rapid tool length/diameter measurement use the new OTS, Renishaw's first tool setting probe with optical transmission. The robust, compact and cable-free design allows freedom of table movement, ideal for twin pallet or rotary table machines.

Also take advantage of the new OMP40-2 inspection probe with modulated transmission, a truly compact probe system that can be used to automatically carry out on-machine component setting and inspection.

Features and benefits

• One interface reduces installation time and complexity
• Both probes are selected using machine outputs (M codes) reducing operation time and maximising battery life 
• Cable free tool setting, suited to machines with pallet changers
• Fast and accurate component set-up and inspection
• Different probe combinations:

OMP40-2 and OTS	OMP400 and OTS	OMP60 and OMP40-2  Twin spindle	OMP400 and OMP40-2  Twin spindle	Two OTS Dual pallet
