Manually mounting / removing RFP1 from REVO-2

NOTE: Mounting / removal of RFP1 to / from REVO-2 should be carried out using a VPCP and automatic change cycle. If it is necessary to manually attach / detach RFP1 use the following procedure.

  1. Align the front of the head with the probe (look at the 'Renishaw' engraving on the front of probe or alignment marks as applicable).
  2. Carefully slide the RFP1 up, then horizontally forwards onto the REVO-2 head, ensuring the counterweights do not foul the head as they pass.
  3. Carefully align the probe to the head, allowing the magnetic attraction to gently connect the kinematic joints.
  4. To detach, securely hold the probe and gently tilt to break the kinematic joints. Removal is the reverse of step 2.
