Workpiece measurement is a crucial process that has a significant impact on machining accuracy. However, the process, if performed manually, can be time-consuming and cause operation errors. Moreover, measurement accuracy largely depends on skills of operators.
Automation of measurement is an effective solution for such problems but is not perfect; it also takes time to measure complex-shaped workpieces and tends to have problems such as radio wave interference and decreased measurement accuracy resulting from deflection caused by long styli. The RMP600 high-accuracy touch probe from Renishaw is a perfect solution for these issues and of great help in boosting profitability.
Superb 3D performance realized by the patented RENGAGE™ technology
RMP600 incorporates the RENGAGE™ technology which combines the silicon strain gauge technology with the ultra-compact electronics to deliver unmatched performance and functionality. It has achieved a unidirectional repeatability of 0.25 μm.
RMP600 also features an extremely low measuring pressure as well as outstanding 3D performance that ensures consistent contact forces regardless of the direction from which the touch probe comes in contact with the workpiece.
RMP600 achieves higher accuracy even with a long stylus and offers speedy and accurate measurement of complex shapes that is difficult with conventional probes. It prevents damage to the surfaces and contours of fragile workpieces in addition to the scratches and breakage of workpieces during measurement.
RMP600 brings various advantages compared with manual measurement, such as human error prevention, shorter setup time and reduced scrap.
Additionally, RMP600 is capable of quick, accurate centering and setup measurement, so you can build and start a new machining process in a short period of time and swiftly respond to the needs of a new customer. RMP600 contributes greatly to your profitability.
Overwhelming accuracy with superb 3D performance
Patented FHSS wireless signal transmission technology for stable operation with no radio wave interference
When a radio probe is used in a machining environment where many different radio waves are travelling, radio wave interference can often be a problem. Renishaw’s RMP600, which incorporates the company’s patented transmission technology, is theoretically free from the interference. It offers stable operation and reduces loss of operation time.
Renishaw’s wireless signal transmission products use the company’s unique real time FHSS wireless communication protocol and operate in the globally available ISM band between 2.403 GHz and 2.481 GHz. They are compliant with international standards and have the largest number of radio equipment certifications from each country.
The product lineup also includes OMP600 and OMP400, which offer the same performance as RMP600 and employ the modulated optical signal transmission technology, to allow you to choose the ideal one for your production.
Software options for higher productivity
The combination of the “InspectionPlus” macro software with the simple intuitive smartphone app “GoProbe” or the on-machine probing app “Set and Inspect” allows any operator to quickly create various measurement commands. InspectionPlus comes with the “SupaTouch” technology to achieve automatic optimization of measurement cycles and ensure optimal measurement speed and accuracy.
The PC-based dimensional measurement software “Productivity+™” enables operators with little G-code programming experience to integrate measurement cycles into machining cycles. With the software, calculation of measurement results, conditional branch judgement and machine tool updates can all be carried out on the CNC without external data communication, thereby achieving seamless integration of adaptive control machining. You can enhance productivity and quality in a more efficient way by combining the probes with software.
Save valuable machining time and resources with RMP600
One of our customers who introduced RMP600 and Productivity+™ says they previously carried out measurement after 16 hours of machining operation to identify problems. The measurement used to take more than an hour. Now, they can incorporate a measurement program created with Productivity+™ into a machining cycle and receive a warning during machining if a problem is detected in a workpiece. The customer explained the effectiveness and profitability of probing with RMP600 by saying, “Thanks to the probe, we can take necessary measures before wasting valuable machining time and resources.”
