Page 9: System Description
The REVO fringe probe (RFP1) is a non-contact structured light sensor for the REVO system offering highly accurate measurement of surface topology on an infinite positioning, 5-axis CMM platform. RFP1 increases the multi-sensor capability of the REVO system, which now offers interchangeable tactile scanning, touch-trigger, surface finish, non-contact structured light and vision probes. -
Page 10: Operating Principle
RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Operating principle RFP1 projects a sinusoidal fringe pattern onto the surface of the part and the camera takes images of the pattern deformation caused by the surface topology. On a flat plane the pattern will be uniform:... - Page 11 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com The change in fringe intensity at each point is used to calculate the absolute 3D position of that point on the part surface. A patch of XYZ position data points is returned for each fringe capture with up to 640,000 points in each patch.

RSP2 is used on this artefact to link RFP1 with other sensors within the same coordinate reference frame. The RFP1 fringe pattern is calibrated against a ceramic plate with a tight flatness tolerance. The calibration routine for RFP1 is fully automated through MODUS and UCCsuite.

- Page 17 FA10 calibration artefact Data collected by RFP1 is in the same reference frame as data collected by the REVO-2 tactile probes. The FA10 artefact is used to calibrate RFP1 and provides the link between RFP1 and the tactile reference frame.
- Page 18 RFP1 takes images of the pillar at different head angles to verify the lens parameters Verification of an RFP1 1. At the start of the verification process, the RFP1 will move from its current position to the safe position values defined in the FA10 dialog box.
- Page 19 Fixing FA10 calibration artefact to CMM The FA10 calibration artefact is designed to be fixed securely to the bed of the CMM to allow accurate and repeatable calibration of RFP1. The diagrams below show how to fix the FA10 to the bed of the CMM.

RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Installation Fitting VPCP to the MRS / MRS2 rack The VPCP heated change ports can be fixed to an MRS or MRS2 rack system. 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 21 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Port spacing for RFP1 Use the MPS2 tool as a spacer to correctly position a VPCP containing RFP1 next to adjacent ports. The table below shows the correct spacer orientation for positioning of each port. Port adjacent to...

Page 25: Optical Windows
Optical windows The RFP1 optical windows [3] should be cleaned using an optical lens cleaning kit to blow or brush debris away from the window. If debris is still visible, then the optical window should be carefully wiped with a lint free bud and high-purity isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Extreme care must be taken to avoid damaging the optical coating or scratching the glass. -
Page 26: Technical Terminology
Probe length is the distance between the A-axis centre of the REVO-2 head and the centre of the measurement volume. This is equivalent to the probe length for RSP2 and RSP3 probes. Stand-off is the distance between the end of RFP1 and the plane at the centre of the measurement volume. - Page 27 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Measurement volume Data will be returned from surfaces within the measurement volume and in line of sight of the projector and camera. No data will be returned from areas of the fringe pattern falling on surfaces outside of this volume.
