  • Page 9: Omp600 Basics

    Performing this calibration for every 3D direction can be time-consuming. The OMP600 has almost no pre-travel variation, so a single calibration value may be used for any probing angle in 2D or 3D. This results in a vastly reduced calibration time. An additional benefit is a corresponding reduction in errors introduced by environmental changes within the machine during a long calibration cycle.

  • Page 10: Getting Started

    To operate a twin OMP600 probe system, one OMP600 probe needs to be set to PROBE 1 start and the other to PROBE 2 start. In applications where a third OMP600 is to be used, this should be set to PROBE 3 start.

  • Page 11: Probe Modes

    Switch-on delay When the standard switch-on is selected, the probe will be operational in less than 0.8 seconds. After being switched on, the OMP600 must remain operational for a minimum of 1 second before being switched off. A second switch-on mode is available whereby a 3 second delay is invoked after the probe start signal is received.

  • Page 12: Switch-On / Switch-Off Methods

    NOTE: A visual indication of currently selected probe settings is provided, on battery insertion, by the three multicoloured LEDs located within the probe’s window (see Section 4, “Trigger Logic™”). NOTE: After being switched on, the OMP600 must be on for 1 second before being switched off. OMP600 switch-on method...

  • Page 13: Enhanced Trigger Filter

    In previous strain gauge products, the probe was required to be turned off during reorientation moves. The auto-reset function in the OMP600 can compensate for stylus forces, resulting from changes in probe orientation, that can cause the probe to trigger.

  • Page 14: Optical Power

    Dotted lines on the performance envelopes represent the OMP600 in low optical power. Low optical power should be used whenever possible for increased battery life.

    Use of the solid carbon fibre styli featured above will guarantee the best possible measurement performance from the OMP600. It is possible that the recommended styli may not be suitable for every OMP600 application and it may be necessary to select specialised styli configurations to meet specific application requirements.

  • Page 23: Installing The Batteries

    Installing the batteries NOTES: See Section 5, “Maintenance” for a list of suitable battery types. If dead batteries are inadvertently inserted, the LEDs will remain a constant red. Do not allow coolant or debris to enter the battery compartment. When inserting batteries, check that the battery polarity is correct.

  • Page 24: Mounting The Probe On A Shank

    Mounting the probe on a shank NOTE: In instances where the OMP600 is to be used with a shank switch, it will be necessary to remove the plug from the rear of the probe using pliers. This should then be substituted with the bobbin (A-4038-0303).

  • Page 25: Stylus On-Centre Adjustment

    Stylus on-centre adjustment NOTES: During adjustment, take care not to rotate the probe relative to the shank as this can damage the bobbin (A-4038-0303) where fitted. If a probe and shank assembly is dropped, it must be rechecked for correct on-centre adjustment. Do not hit or tap the probe to achieve on-centre adjustment.

  • Page 26: Calibrating The Omp600

    OMP600 installation guide Calibrating the OMP600 Why calibrate a probe? A spindle probe is just one component of the measurement system that communicates with the machine tool. Each part of the system can introduce a constant difference between the position that the stylus touches and the position that is reported to the machine.

  • Page 27: Calibrating In A Ring Gauge Or On A Datum Sphere

    Calibrating in a ring gauge or on a datum sphere Calibrating a probe, either in a ring gauge or on a datum sphere with a known diameter, automatically stores one or more values for the radius of the stylus ball. The stored values are then used automatically by the measuring cycles to give the true size of the feature.

    Wipe the window of the probe with a clean cloth to remove machining residue. This should be done on a regular basis to maintain optimum transmission. CAUTION: The OMP600 has a glass window, handle with care if broken to avoid injury.

  • Page 36: Changing The Batteries

    OMP600 installation guide Changing the batteries CAUTIONS: Do not leave dead batteries in the probe. When changing batteries, do not allow coolant or debris to enter the battery compartment. When changing batteries, check that the battery polarity is correct. Take care to avoid damaging the battery cassette gasket.
  • Page 37 NOTES: After removing the old batteries, wait more than 5 seconds before inserting the new batteries. Do not mix new and used batteries, or different battery types, as this can result in reduced battery life and/or damage to the batteries. Always ensure that the cassette gasket and mating surfaces are clean and free from dirt before reassembly.
