Cableless probe detects broken tools and settings.

The cable-free Twin Probe System combines part setup and measurement with tool setting and broken tool detection. The system uses the same optical receiver to process signals from a spindle-mounted OMP40-2 inspection probe and OTS tool setting probe. Optical signal transmission enables fast system integration and a cable-free machine environment. The system lets users achieve greater automation of part processing and enable more productive use of operator time and skills, according to the maker. Cable-free operation eliminates restrictions on table movement. The cableless tool setter is suited to machines with twin pallets or rotary tables. The OMP40-2 is an upgrade to the OMP40 touch probe. Its compact design makes it suitable for small machining centers and the growing range of high-speed machines fitted with small HSK and other small taper spindles. User programmable parameters offer simple optimization for specific machine applications. Its Trigger-Logic programming method lets users program probe options. This avoids the need to access internal probe components, eliminating the risk of damage from coolant or debris ingress. Renishaw plc, Booth No. D-4511
