6 . Probe base holding screws Introduction The TS27R probe is used for tool setting on CNC machining centres . For tool length measurements and broken tool detection, the tool is driven against the probe’s stylus in the Z axis . Rotating tools can be set in the X and Y axes for tool radius offsets .
Software routines Software routines for tool setting are available from Renishaw for various machine controllers and are described in the Probe software for machine tools – programs and features data sheet (Renishaw part no . H-2000-2298) . TS27R tool setting probe: Product basics...
. Trigger force is measured with a 50 mm (1 .97 in) stylus . These are the factory settings; manual adjustment is not possible . NOTE: For stylus recommendations, refer to the Styli and accessories technical specification (Renishaw part no . H-1000-3200) .

Detach the probe base and the plinth from the probe by removing the two screws H and the screw L1 using a 4 mm A/F hexagon key . Fit the T bolt (not supplied by Renishaw) . Tighten the T bolt to secure the probe base to the machine table .
The TS27R conduit adaptor accepts Ø11 mm (0.43 in) flexible conduit. NOTE: The cable screen is connected to the machine via a 100 nF capacitor inside the TS27R to prevent possible earth loops . Ensure the cable screen is connected to the appropriate input on the interface . The interface units are fully described in the following publications: MI 8-4 interface unit installation and user’s...

The captive link connected to the probe and stylus holds onto the stylus, otherwise the stylus could fall into the machine and become lost . When a new captive link is fitted, it must be bent to accept screw C. See page 3-9, “Break stem”, for further information . TS27R tool setting probe: System installation...
Remove the broken parts and rebuild in the sequence shown above . NOTE: Earlier versions of the TS27R were supplied with cup-pointed grubscrews and a different break stem. Only fit current components supplied with this probe or with the break stem retrofit kit.
Side to side level is obtained by alternately adjusting grubscrews L3 and L4, which causes the probe module to rotate and change the stylus level setting . When a level stylus surface is obtained, tighten screws L3 and L4 . 3-10 TS27R tool setting probe: System installation...
Fine rotational adjustment is obtained by loosening the four grubscrews R1 and alternately adjusting the two probe rotational adjuster screws R2 and R3 until the required tip parallelism to the axes is achieved . Retighten grubscrews R1, R2 and R3 . CAUTION: Ensure all screws are tight after adjustment . www.renishaw.com/ts27r 3-11...
