  • Page 10: Principles Of Operation

    This document is intended as a guide to initial installation, integration and use of the Renishaw SP600 family of analogue measurement probes. It assumes that you will be using the Renishaw AC1 or AC2 analogue counter PC card to interface the probe. If you intend to handle probe interfacing yourself then details of probe signals, power requirements etc.

    A value below the maximum probe deflection. When this deflection is reached, the CMM recognises that the stylus is close to the limits of the probe's range and that it must take action to re-centre the probe. Renishaw recommends that this limit is set 0.25 mm (0.01 in) below the maximum probe deflection, although this may not always be possible and may be altered depending upon the CMM control characteristics, scanning speed etc.

    If the test program works correctly but the probe axis outputs have failed or the probe present signal is not given, check system connections and the probe cable (either by replacement or for continuity). If the fault persists please contact Renishaw, as the system must be returned for repair.
