About the MP250
The Renishaw MP250 is an ultra compact touch probe for grinding machines that sets new standards for the precision measurement of 3D part geometries, whilst offering all the standard probing benefits of reduced set-up times, reduced scrap and improved process control.
The MP250 uses a hard-wired connection to the machine control via the specially designed HSI interface.
It offers a truly unrivalled combination of size, accuracy, reliability and robustness that will benefit its users through reduced set-up times, reduced scrap and improved process control.
MP250 features and benefits
High accuracy
Patented RengageTM strain gauge technology with ultra-low pretravel variation provides high accuracy, even when the application requires long styli.
Highly repeatable
Improved repeatability in all probing directions compared to standard probes.
Ultra compact
Measuring only Ø25 mm x 40 mm long, the MP250 is ideal for grinding machine applications with restricted space.
Robust and reliable
Renishaw's MP250 sets new standards for reliability and is designed to resist the harshest machine conditions.
