Amber TRS1 typical performance The TRS1 system is capable of detecting a Ø1 mm bright drill at 2 m (6.56 ft) and a Ø0.5 mm bright drill at 0.3 m (0.984 ft), dependent on installation, set-up and tool type/condition. Note: For a tool to be detected, suffi cient light must be refl ected back to the TRS1 system. Before running the broken tool cycle, ensure that every tool can be detected by the TRS1 system, as this varies with range, installation and set-up.
10. Performance will be affected if perpendicularity is not achieved, and this effect increases with separation. ● The tool must be able to move in the Z axis relative to the TRS1 system, so that tools of different lengths can be checked.
The air supply to the TRS1 system must conform to ISO 8573-1 air quality of class 1.7.2 and be moisture- free. If the air quality cannot be guaranteed, an optional air fi ltration system is available from Renishaw –...

Push the free end of the air supply pipe through the air spring adaptor. Before connecting the pipe to the inlet of the TRS1 system, briefl y switch on the air supply to clear out any debris from the pipe.
Power supply The TRS1 can draw its power from the CNC machine’s 12 V to 24 V nominal dc supply. Its input voltage range is 11 Vdc to 30 Vdc maximum and it presents a typical load of up to 45 mA.
The end of the tool should be positioned approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) into the laser beam, refer to the diagram above. Move the position of the TRS1 system relative to the tool side to side until the highest number of displays in the bar graph are lit, (refer to the diagram on page 5).
Cleanliness It is recommended that low pressure coolant washes off the TRS1 system on a regular basis during cutting cycles. This will help to prevent the build-up of swarf or dried coolant on the receiver lens and can...

Pneumatic supply Ø4 mm air pipe, refer to the graph of recommended air pressure against air pipe length on page 7. Air supply to the TRS1 system must conform to ISO 8573-1: Air quality of class 1.7.2. Weight 0.75 kg (1.65 lb) including 10 m of cable.
7. Cleaning Cleaning may be required if the air to the TRS1 becomes contaminated or if the system is left with the air off when coolant is present. Excessive contamination will block the laser beam and prevent the TRS1 from functioning.

Maintenance - TRS1 system Pin spanner Power supply Air cap Air supply Spray solvent cleaner into the lens cavity. Wipe out any oil that may be present. Spray the solvent onto the lens surface and clean off using a swab.
Maintenance – air regulator unit Note: The following procedure applies to the air regulator system M-2253-5120, which is available from Renishaw. Checking the liquid level Regularly check the level of the accumulated liquid in each of the fi lter bowls. It is important that the level is kept below the fi...
