OMM / MI 12

The OMM optical receiver is used in conjunction with the MI 12 interface.

The MI 12 interface processes signals between one or two optical transmitters (OMMs) and the CNC control.

OMM

OMM / MI 12 provides legacy transmission method and has now been superseded by the OMI-2 and OMI-2T.

The OMM-C / MI 120 variant allows for integration into the machine spindle nose.

About OMM

OMMThe OMM unit comprises an optical receiver that communicates with a spindle or turret mounted probe. Probe trigger and control signals are processed by the separate MI 12 interface, located in the machine tool control cabinet.

 

 

About MI 12

MI 12 interfaceThe MI 12 replaces the earlier MI4 and MI7 interface units.

 

 

 

MI 12MI 12-BMI 12E
The standard MI 12 unit is contained within a free standing enclosure with an optional panel mounting kit also availableThe MI 12-B is a board only version for mounting within the machine cabinet

Designed for MP10E and MP700E high-power optical transmission probing systems on large machining centres and 5-axis machines.

 

About OMM-C and MI 120

OMM-C and MI 120The OMM-C / MI 120 is an alternative to the OMM / MI 12, providing the same capability in a package that can be integrated into the machine's spindle housing.

The OMM-C / MI 120 is suitable for use with Heidenhain and Siemens controllers.

Data sheets

  • OMM - optical module machine data sheet [75kB] OMM - optical module machine data sheet

    The OMM is an optical transmitter / receiver, which conveys signals between an inspection probe and MI 12 interface unit. H-2000-2275-01-F

  • MI 12 interface unit data sheet [122kB] MI 12 interface unit data sheet

    The MI 12 interface processes signals between one or two OMM's and the CNC machine control. (The MI 12 replaces the earlier MI 4 and MI 7 interface units). H-2000-2195-02-C

  • High power optical transmission system data sheet [164kB] High power optical transmission system data sheet

    The high power optical transmission system is based upon standard optical systems, enhancements allowing the system to transmit up to 12 m (39.3 ft) and benefiting from reflections to maintain contact with the receiver. It enables the use of the MP700E and MP10E in applications requiring large probe and receiver separation. H-2000-2259-01-B
