Page 10: System Description
RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com 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 11: 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 12 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.

- Page 17 / detach RFP1 use the following procedure. 1. Align the front of the head with the probe (look at the 'Renishaw' engraving on the front of probe or alignment marks as applicable). 2. Carefully slide the RFP1 up, then horizontally forwards onto the REVO-2 head, ensuring the counterweights do not foul the head as they pass.
- Page 18 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com RFP1 calibration 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 19 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Calibrating an RFP1 1. At the start of the qualification process, the RFP1 will move from its current position to the safe position values defined in the FA10 dialogue box. User must take care to ensure that there is a clear line of sight from the current position to the FA10 safe position before requesting a qualification 2.
- Page 20 RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com 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.

Installation NOTE: Please refer to the REVO-2 change port system spacing guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5408) for full details of the recommended spacing for positioning all sensors and artefacts on the MRS / MRS2 rail. Fitting VPCP to the MRS / MRS2 rack The VPCP heated change ports can be fixed to an MRS or MRS2 rack system. - Page 22 Connecting VPCP to PSU Using a PSU other than the one supplied by Renishaw is not recommended. DC extension cables are available for the PSU but the length should not exceed 15 m otherwise the performance can be affected.

Page 26: Technical Terminology
RFP1 user's guide www.renishaw.com Technical terminology Probe length and stand-off 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.
