OSI with OMM-2 optical interface system

About OSI with OMM-2

Following in the foot-steps of the highly successful OMI-2T, Renishaw has now developed a multiple probe system that allows up to three separate inspection probes and/or tool setting probes to be installed on a machine tool with a single optical interface system.

The OSI with OMM-2 utilises Renishaw’s modulated optical transmission, thereby offering the highest level of resistance to light interference. The system is user configurable for operation in either single probe mode or multiple probe mode. In multiple probe mode the system will sequentially activate the spindle probe or tool-setting probe.

Choice of single or tandem OMM-2 application.

The new interface system allows the implementation of tandem OMM-2, making it an ideal solution for machines with exceptionally long spindle movements where increased range is required. In these applications the operating range of OMP60 will typically exceed 10 m. Tandem OMM-2 is also suited to applications with partitioned machining areas, where a receiver will be located in each area.
