Stylus Trigger Force And Adjustment - Renishaw RMP60 Installation Manual

RMP60 installation guide

Stylus trigger force and adjustment

Spring force within the probe causes the stylus to sit in a unique position and return to this position
following each stylus deflection.
Stylus trigger force is set by Renishaw but, in special circumstances, can be adjusted by the user for
example. where there is excessive machine vibration or insufficient force to support the stylus weight,
that results with a deflection of the stylus without contacting a part.

To adjust the trigger force, turn the adjusting screw anticlockwise to reduce the force (more sensitive)
or clockwise to increase the force (less sensitive). A stop helps to prevent damage which could be
caused by overtightening the adjusting screw.
XY trigger forces vary around the stylus seating.
