RLP40 compact touch probe

RLP40 pioneers the application of frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio transmission in the turning centre environment.

About RLP40

Where line-of-sight between an optical inspection probe and interface cannot always be maintained the application of the RLP40 with an RMI interface unit maintains reliable communications.

The RLP40 is sealed to withstand the extreme environment of lathes and turning centres. A proven eyelid protection system prevents entry of swarf and chips that would cause damage to the internal components of the probe. The RLP40 is built to the highest of standards and offers a truly unrivalled combination of size, accuracy, reliability and robustness that will benefit its users through reduced set-up times, reduced fixture costs, reduced scrap and improved process control.

For lathes or machining centres where part features are inaccessible to the OLP40 and RLP40, Renishaw offers the OMP40M and RMP40M, which enable fitment of adaptors, extensions and Renishaw's LP2 touch probe.

RLP40 Software options

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

EasyProbe - entry-level package for simple work piece set-up

Inspection - basic set-up and work piece inspection cycles, with automatic update of offsets

Inspection Plus - an integrated suite of inspection cycles including vector measurement

Productivity+™ Active Editor Pro - a PC-based software package with GUI, allowing the user to select features directly from an imported CAD model, making the generation of probing cycles even easier.
