If any additional means of isolation is required, it must be specified and fitted by the machine manufacturer or the installer of the product. The isolator must be sited within easy reach of the CMM operator and comply with IEC61010 and any applicable national wiring regulations for the country of installation.

  • Page 12: Product Description

    The probe output requires only two wires for transmission to the PI 200 interface, enabling the TP200 to use the existing M8 mounting connector system fitted to a wide range of probe heads and extension bars.

  • Page 13: Trigger Confirmation Signal (Halt)

    Product description The timing relationships for an idealised probe signal are indicated in figure 2. A solid state relay (SSR) output is provided which mimics the PICS-SYNC output for connection to older CMM controllers that require voltage-free contacts to simulate the trigger signal of a kinematic switching probe.

  • Page 15: Sync And Halt Debounce

    Product description 2.  SYNC and HALT debounce The SYNC and HALT signals are debounced to prevent spurious triggers occurring as a result of CMM or stylus vibration when the stylus makes contact with or leaves the surface of the workpiece. A range of switch selectable timing options is provided to suit the requirements of different types of CMM.

  • Page 16: Probe Damped Signal (Pdamp)

    The CMM controller must assert the PDAMP signal on the PICS port, to switch the PI 200 into the low sensitivity mode known as ‘probe damped’. In this mode, deflection of the stylus will generate...

  • Page 17: Stylus Mass And Ambient Temperature Compensation

    Under the control of the PI 200 interface, the autozero automatically switches to a fast rate to reset the probe sensors during a stylus change with the SCR200 change rack or during reorientation of a motorised probe head.

  • Page 23 Product description Switch 0: In operating situations where there is an unusually high level of background vibration, it may be necessary to reduce the sensitivity of the TP200 to avoid false ‘air’ triggers. These may occur on some types of CMM when large steel stylus arrangements are used or where the CMM is inadequately isolated from the floor transmission of vibration from nearby machinery or vehicle traffic.

  • Page 24: Probe Polarity Switch

    Product description 2.2  Probe polarity switch The TP200 probe is polarity sensitive and must be connected to the PI 200 such that the centre contact of the M8 connector is positive and the thread is ground (0 V). A reversed polarity connection will cause the POWER and STOP indicators to be illuminated on the front panel.

    Installation procedure .  Using TP200 with the ACR autochange system Figure 22 - Shock absorbing pad fitted to PH10M The CMM controller must assert the probe damping signal (PDAMP) on the PICS port when the probe is approaching the rack, to prevent a false trigger being generated when the probe contacts the docking port lid. If this is not possible, a shock absorbing pad (part number A-1085-0294 supplied with ACR1) must be fitted to the autojoint connector on the probe head at the point of contact with the port lid.
