RENISHAW REVO-2 Vision Probe User Manual

**RENISHAW REVO-2 Vision Probe User Manual

**

REVO-2 is the only scanning system for CMMs that simultaneously controls the motion of three machine and two head axes whilst collecting work piece data using its range of 2D and 3D tactile probes, surface roughness measurement probe and now non-contact vision probe too.

The head’s design incorporates sophisticated laser measurement and electrical signal transmission technology for precise work piece measurement at extremely high rates of data capture. The 5-axis control system removes unwanted dynamic errors associated with machine movement because the measuring head performs most of the work. As the head is much lighter and more dynamic than the CMM, it is able to quickly follow changes in the part geometry without introducing large dynamic errors.

RSP2 probe for REVO

RSP2 is a probe capable of 2D-scanning (x, y) and 3D touchtrigger measurement (x, y, z). A number of different length RSH stylus holders with a minimum reach of 175 mm and a maximum reach of 500 mm, can be fitted to the probe’s universal body.

The RSP2 utilises Renishaw’s tip-sensing technology, specifically designed for high speed scanning with low scanning forces and minimal stylus wear. To ensure optimal metrology performance, the type of stylus used with RSP2 is managed by the UCCserver software.

• The number behind RSH represents length from head centre of rotation to stylus ball centre when carrying a 10 mm stylus.
  

RSP2 and RSH# changing system

The RCP TC-2 (thermally controlled REVO change port) is used for changing RSP2, whereas the RCP2 (REVO change port) is configured to change RSP2 stylus holders (RSH175, RSH250, RSH350, RSH450  andRSH500).
