How the Primo™ system works
'Pay-as-you-go' machine tool probes with Primo Credit Tokens
The Primo machine tool probe system utilises a unique 'pay-as-you-go' model. Instead of a long-term contract or commitment, you buy and activate a 6-month Credit Token which enables unlimited use of the Primo system during that period.
Once the credit expires, simply purchase another credit token to extend system usage for another six months. New credit can be inserted at any time and is added to any remaining credit. This innovative approach to providing machine tool probe technology offers new users a number of advantages:
- Affordable initial investment
- Fast payback
- Protection against accidental damage with Primo Total Protect
The Primo system makes high-performance probing capability affordable, even for lower cost machines.

Primo Total Protect for peace of mind
Primo Total Protect (PTP) is valid for the duration of a six-month Credit Token once that token is registered on the Renishaw website and provides cover against accidental product damage. If any hardware element of the system is damaged Renishaw will replace it immediately, free of charge. Primo Total Protect is another Renishaw innovation that gives you peace of mind and leaves you free to concentrate on controlling your process and costs.
