Modular systems

Optical and radio modular systems.

Enable inspection of normally inaccessible features.

Are compatible with existing Renishaw optical receivers.

Offer exceptional resistance to light interference.

Renishaw's modular systems enable a probe to access features for inspection, or part setting, which might be inaccessible to a standard probe. Renishaw has a comprehensive range of adaptors, extensions and stylus configurations to tackle even the most demanding probing applications.

RMP40M and RMP60M radio modular systems

The RMP40M and RMP60M modular systems enable probe inspection of part features that would be inaccessible, combined with radio frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) communications. FHSS is particularly beneficial in multi-axis milling operations where the line of sight between the inspection probe and the interface cannot always be maintained.

Approved radio regions include: China, Europe (all countries within the European Union), Japan and the USA. For details about other regions, please contact Renishaw.

Features and benefits

  • Proven kinematic design.
  • Secure frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS).
  • Globally recognised 2.4 GHz waveband – compliant with radio regulations in all major markets.
  • Comprehensive range of adaptors and extensions allowing access to more workpiece features.
  • 1 to 2 μm 2σ repeatability (dependent on probe).

OMP40M and OMP60M optical modular systems

The OMP40M and OMP60M enable inspection of part features that might be inaccessible with a standard probe. They both allow fitment of adaptors, extensions and Renishaw's LP2 probe.

These modular systems maintain compatibility with existing Renishaw optical receivers to enable users to upgrade existing installations. When combined with the very latest modulated transmission interface these systems offer exceptional resistance to light interference.

Features and benefits

  • Proven kinematic design.
  • Exceptional resistance to light interference with modulated transmission.
  • 360° transmission envelope.
  • Comprehensive range of adaptors and extensions allowing access to more workpiece features.
  • 1 to 2 µm repeatability (dependent on probe).

Probing software options

The following software packages can be used to program probing routines for workpiece set-up and inspection on CNC machining centres.

  • GoProbe – entry-level package for simple workpiece set-up and tool setting routines.
  • Inspection Plus – an integrated suite of inspection cycles including vector measurement.
  • Productivity+™ Active Editor Pro – a PC-based software package with GUI, allowing users to select features directly from an imported CAD model.
