IS1-2 system description

The system comprises an IS1-2 standalone or rack-mountable interface selector.

The IS1-2 has four separate channel outputs. These outputs allow any combination of the following Renishaw probes to be integrated into one automated system:

  • SP25M
  • SP80
  • TP7M
  • SP600
  • OTP6M*
  • TP200*
  • TP2 / TP6 / TP20*

The IS1-2 is also fully compatible with Renishaw's ACR1 and ACR3 probe autochange systems, the PH10M PLUS range of motorised heads and the PHS motorised servo head system using the Renishaw product interconnection system (PICS).

* These probes can be incorporated into a multiple sensor system consisting of any one of the other probe systems specified without the necessity to use a IS1-2 unit. Please contact Renishaw for further details.

System components

Programming modules

A programming module for each of the following Renishaw standard multiwired products are supplied pre-installed within the IS1-2 channels:


Channel 1

TP7M

Channel 2

SP600M

Channel 3

SP80

Channel 4

SP25M


An OTP6M module will be supplied in the IS1-2 kit.

Plugging the required product module into the correct channel selector socket ensures that the probe connections are made to the correct IS1-2 output port.

Third party probes, that carry the female autojoint, require specific identification resistors to be fitted within the autojoint. Special modules to permit the recognition of these probes by the IS1-2 will also be required (please contact Renishaw for further details).

Probe / channel identification labels

The probe identifier labels (SP25M, SP80, TP7, OTP6M, SP600 etc) are designed to be applied to the front panel of the IS1-2 and the respective probe interface labels (AC3, IU80, PI 7-2, OPI6, AC2 etc.) are designed to be applied to the rear panel of the IS1-2 unit.
