System installation

Installing the RMP60 with an RMI-Q or RMI-QE

Workpiece

Operating envelope

Radio transmission does not require line-of-sight between the probe and interface as it works via
reflected paths, and will pass through gaps and machine tool windows. This allows easy installation
inside the machine.
Coolant and swarf residue accumulating on the RMP60 and RMI-Q or RMI-QE may have a detrimental
effect on transmission performance. Wipe clean as often as is necessary to maintain unrestricted
transmission.
When operating, do not cover the probe glass window, RMI-Q, or RMI-QE with your hands, as this will
affect the performance.
