SP80 and SP80H installation and integration
guide
Document part number: H-1000-5212-05-B
This installation and integration guide is intended to assist OEM and Renishaw personnel in the initial installation, integration and use of the
Renishaw SP80 and SP80H ultra-high accuracy scanning probes. The SP80 and SP80H are quadrature output measurement probes that
provide class-leading performance, as well as the most flexible use of styli for maximum productivity.
This guide provides information on mechanical and electrical probe installation, system connections and interface options. If you intend to
handle probe interfacing yourself then details of probe signals, power requirements etc. can be found in the section
'system interconnection
and electrical
integration', although this will significantly increase the complexity of the integration process.

  • Page 11 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.

    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 47 SP80 and SP80H installation and integration 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.

    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 54: Return To Zero

    SP80 and SP80H installation and integration guide www.renishaw.com Return to zero The probe has a nominal absolute centre position where the functions of stylus configuration and probe orientation cause it to rest. Because of small amounts of internal friction, when the probe is displaced from this zero point, the stylus will not return to exactly the same point on the scale and the axis deflection readings will show a different value.
  • Page 55 The procedure for this is to remove the SH80 stylus holder from the SP80 /SP80H probe body and permit the probe mechanism to return to its zero reference position; when the probe is in this position the scales within the head should be referenced ﴾set to 0﴿. This ‘null' position should be recorded.
