Introduction The PH6M is a shank mounted, fixed orientation, probe head incorporating the Renishaw autojoint probe connector. The PH6M is compatible with the AM1 adjustment module to allow precise autojoint alignment with machine axes, enabling trouble-free autochange operation. Probe reach may be extended using the PEM range of extension bars for multiwired probes or the PAA series for adapting to M8 connected probes.
Installation and connection The PH6M is fitted with an integral 15‐pin micro ‘D' socket. If required, this socket can be adapted by using a suitable cable to which a 5‐pin DIN socket has been fitted. Locking and unlocking the autojoint is performed either manually using the S10 joint key (supplied) or automatically using the Renishaw autochange system.
The actuator has a drive slot which may be operated using an S10 joint key for manual probe or extension bar changing applications. Automatic probe or extension bar changing is possible using the Renishaw ACR1 or ACR3 autochange systems.
Interconnecting cables There is a choice of standard cables to connect from PH6M to probe interfaces PI 7-2, PI 200, OPI6, the AC2 card for SP600M or the ACR3 card for SP25M. Connectors shown in brackets are supplied in kit form. The cable is supplied with the micro ‘D' connector fitted and the remote end prepared, but unterminated, to facilitate assembly into machine looms.
