Interfaces and transmission units

Signals must pass from the probe to the machine's controller to register contact of the probe stylus with the component or tool.

Similarly, signals must pass from the machine's controller to the probe to control the functioning of the probe.

The passage of these signals is handled by a transmission system. The choice of transmission system depends on the type of probe and the type of machine tool to which it is fitted.

Below is the list of Renishaw interfaces and transmission units.
