Cableless tool setting and inspection probing for machine tools from Renishaw.

Renishaw's new twin probe optical signal transmission system uses a single optical receiver for tool setting probe and spindle-mounted touch probe installations, offering fast integration and a cable-free machine environment.

About the twin probe system:

The new OMI-2T optical interface enables two probes to be used, typically, this would be Renishaw's new OTS tool-setter and OMP40-2 inspection probe.

The OMI-2T optical interface uses Renishaw's modulated optical transmission, offering the highest level of resistance to light interference. The OMI-2T activates either the spindle probe or tool-setting probe and gives visual indication of the activated device.

For broken tool detection and rapid tool length/diameter measurement use the new OTS, Renishaw's first tool setting probe with optical transmission. The robust, compact and cable-free design allows freedom of table movement, ideal for twin pallet or rotary table machines.

Also take advantage of the new OMP40-2 inspection probe with modulated transmission, a truly compact probe system that can be used to automatically carry out on-machine component setting and inspection.
