    X Y direction and a bump stop prevents damage to the probe in the probe Z-axis. The SH80K is a detachable stylus holder that when fitted allows both the SP80 and the SP80H to be powered off without the need to re-home the probe on power up.

    KM80 kinematic quill mount plate The SP80 and SP80H mount on the 80 mm × 80 mm quill of a CMM using the KM80 kinematic quill mount plate . The KM80 is attached to the end of the quill, and the probe is subsequently mounted to the KM80 via a kinematic joint and quick release autojoint locking mechanism.

  • Page 10: Air Supply

    The SP80 and SP80H probes are supplied with a blanked off air purge hole. If the probe is to be operated in an environment where oil mist or other heavy vapours are present it is essential that an air supply is used to maintain positive purging of any contamination from the interior of the probe.

  • Page 13 The SH80 can be automatically removed and replaced on the probe body by using a SCP80/V mounted on an MRS or suitable extrusion. SH80's design makes it possible to dock into an SCP80 port which is aligned with any of the four sides of the SP80 probe. This enables the SCP80 / SCP80V system to be positioned to the rear, front, left or right of the CMM, or any combination of these.
  • Page 14 The SH80K is a device with a kinematic location ball that allows you to power off the SP80 and SP80H probes and turn it back on without needing to re-home the probe.
  • Page 15 SCP80 The SCP80 stylus changing port enables automation of SH80 interchange onto the SP80 probe. It does not require any electrical connection for operation, and it fits to the MRS / MRS2. This provides simple flexibility to incorporate as many ports as required, whilst optimising working volume.
  • Page 16 SCP80V The SCP80V stylus changing port enables automation of SH80 changing operation with the SP80H and long, rear orientated styli with SP80. It does not require any electrical connection for operation, and it fits to any standard extrusion. This provides simple flexibility to incorporate as many ports as required, whilst optimising working volume.
  • Page 17 IU80 interpolator unit The IU80 interpolator unit is a free-standing interface for the SP80 and SP80H. It is required for installations where the UCC S3 controller and UCC PI 80 interface are not used. The IU80 is connected to the probe by the machine cable. The output of the IU80 is then transferred either to the CC6, or alternatively to an OEM controller via a Renishaw supplied unterminated cable.
  • Page 18 CC6 PCI counter card The Renishaw CC6 counter card is a 5 V 32 bit PCI card. The card can be used to integrate the Renishaw SP80(H) probe when used in conjunction with the Renishaw IU80 interpolator unit. The CC6 monitors the output of the probe via the IU80 and supplies the host PC with this information on request, via the PCI bus. The CC6 is small enough to fit neatly into a 5 V switching standard PCI slot inside the host PC without precluding the insertion of any other cards or impairing any required access to other components.
  • Page 19 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Isolated optical metrology principle Using an isolated optical metrology principle, the probe directly measures the deflection of the whole mechanism, thus providing outstandingly accurate position sensing. The isolated optical metrology system can detect sources of variable error such as thermal and dynamic effects. By contrast, probes with displacement sensors mounted to stacked axes suffer from latency under changing inertial loads, and cannot detect thermal growth in their mechanisms.

  • Page 28 IU80 features and LEDs Signal interpolation The IU80 divides the 4 micron periodic signals produced by the SP80 by a factor of 200. This gives a system resolution of 20 nm for each probe axis. Error signal generation The IU80 monitors the signals received from the SP80 probe to ensure that each axis readhead is functional. In the event of probe cable damage or unreliable probe signals, an error signal is latched and provides an output via pin 4 of the 26-way connector.
  • Page 29 SP80 LED control The SP80 probe has a tri-colour LED which can be controlled by the user to act as a visual aid for measurement applications. The LED can be set to red, green or orange depending on the following inputs to pins 9 and 10 of the 26‐way ‘D' plug.
  • Page 30 SP80 / SP80H body The SH80 incorporates the male half of a magnetic kinematic joint that connects to the female half of the joint on the bottom of both the SP80 and SP80H probe body. The SH80 carries M5 styli, and has a 5-way centre design that can be rotationally adjusted for infinite angle position of the stylus.
  • Page 31 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Mounting styli on the SH80 and styli orientation Mounting styli on the SH80 It is recommended that the SH80 is removed from the probe body when attaching styli. M5 stylus arrangements are directly screwed into the 5-way cube on the SH80. Where required, use step down adaptors to smaller thread styli, or select cubes and knuckles to create the required cluster.
  • Page 32 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Aligning the KM80, KM6080 or SM80 for use with the SCP80(V) To ensure satisfactory operation with both SCP80 and SCP80V during the change cycle, the KM80, KM6080 quill adaptor plate or SM80 shank mount must be aligned to the CMM axes within the limits shown.

It is recommended that they are attached to the MRS / MRS2 rail using the following procedure, where it is assumed that the MRS / MRS2 rack system is correctly installed.
  • Page 34 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Alignment of SCP80(V) to the CMM axes Alignment of the SCP80 to the CMM axes The alignment of the SCP80 to the CMM axes should be checked to be within the limits shown below.
  • Page 35 The SCP80(V) ports should have previously been fitted to the MRS rail (or extrusion) and aligned to the CMM axes The SP80 / SP80H probe should have been correctly installed, aligned and fitted with a suitable M5 stylus The probe and stylus should have been calibrated and made ready to take single point measurements NOTE: The examples given here assume that the MRS / SCP80 rack system is aligned to the X-axis of the CMM, being along the rear of the working area.

    Single point measurement mode The following are methods that can be used for taking single point measurements using a calibrated SP80 or SP80H. OEMs are advised to evaluate each of these to determine the best solution for their own system.
  • Page 42 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Threshold methods There are two types of threshold method as described below. Type 1 takes data whilst driving the probe onto the part to a pre-set deflection threshold, whilst type 2 takes data whilst backing off to the pre-set deflection threshold.
  • Page 43 Of particular interest to SP80 and SP80H users is M5 styli section. This details not only an extensive range of M5 styli that are compatible with the SP80 and SP80H, but also includes a complete range of carbon fibre extension bars of 11 mm or 20 mm diameter, and up to 500 mm long.
  • Page 44 SP80 and SP80H user's guide www.renishaw.com Ball materials available with Renishaw styli Ruby The industry standard and the optimum stylus ball material for a vast majority of measurement applications, ruby is one of the hardest known materials. Synthetic ruby is 99% pure aluminium oxide, which is grown into crystals ﴾or ‘boules'﴿ at 2000 °C using the Verneuil process.
  • Page 45 Renishaw GF is ideal for maximising stiffness while giving very low mass for styli above 50 mm in length. It is the optimum stem material for high accuracy strain gauge technology probes with excellent vibration damping characteristics and negligible co-efficient of thermal expansion.
  • Page 46: Maximising Performance

    Maximising performance Calibration The probe and stylus must be calibrated correctly. Renishaw has extensive experience of scanning and offers support and advice on calibration algorithms and control software suited to SP80. Please contact Renishaw for further information. Probe deflection Scanning deflections should be kept small, as the machine settings and application will allow loads on the probe, stylus and CMM quill to be minimised.
  • Page 47 SP80 and SP80H maintenance The SP80 / SP80H probe is a serviceable part. In the event of a problem, please contact your supplier for assistance. Following the simple maintenance procedures given below will prolong the operational life and continued high performance of the system.
