RMI-Q
CNC machine tools which are using Renishaw spindle probes with radio signal transmission for workpiece inspection, or tool setters with radio signal transmission, require a Renishaw radio machine interface (such as the RMI-Q) for signal transmission. The RMI-Q, which acts as a combined radio transceiver and machine interface, converts signals from the RMP into voltage-free solid state relay (SSR) and driven outputs for transmission to the CNC machine controller.
The RMI-Q is designed to be mounted within the machine's working envelope.
Application of the RMI-Q enables individual radio turn on and subsequent operation of up to four separate 2nd generation RMPs, permitting numerous combinations of radio inspection probes and/or radio tool setters to be used on the same machine tool.
