The RUP1 is only to be used with the Renishaw REVO-2 head. Operators must be trained in the use and application of the REVO-2 system and accompanying products, in the context of the machine it is fitted to, before being allowed to operate that machine.
Page 8
It is the machine supplier's responsibility to ensure that the user is made aware of any hazards involved in operation, including those mentioned in Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure that adequate guards and safety interlocks are provided. Refer to the machine supplier's operating instructions.

The RUP1 probe should be handled with care Avoid dropping the RUP1 probe or colliding with workpieces or parts of the CMM structure Particular care should be given to the stylus tip - avoid contact with the elastomer ball unless it is being used for measurement...

Specific RUP1 software is also required to interpret the data collected by the REVO-2 system. Because the RUP1 system is used as part of a multi-sensor system, and uses specially designed calibration routines, the location of the stylus tip is known precisely.
Protective cap The RUP1 should always be stored with the protective cap in-place as it extends the life of the tip (elastomer ball). The protective cap fits over the “endcap” and is held in‐place by the friction of the sealing ring. Automated routes automatically remove and replace the cap during use.
Page 14
The UCP holds the protective cap during use. The UCP sits on the top of the calibration assembly. UPA ultrasonic probe artefact The UPA is used to determine the RUP1 probe length (tip Z) and the ultrasonic axis. ULA ultrasonic location artefact The ULA determines the XY of the position of the ultrasonic axis (location).

RUP1 installation and user's guide www.renishaw.com UMA1 ultrasonic material artefact The UMA1 holds the four or five step ASTM E797 spec ultrasonic calibration artefact. NOTE: The precision of the artefact affects the system performance. The artefact should be made from the same material grade and be subjected to the same processes (e.g. heat treatments, forging, shot peening) as the part being measured.

To manually mount or remove the probe from the REVO-2 head you need to: 1. Align the front of the head with the probe (look at the "Renishaw" engraving on the front of probe or alignment marks as applicable). 2. Carefully align the probe to the head, allowing the magnetic attraction to gently connect the kinematic joints.

The REVO-2 probe change system is designed to allow automatic REVO-2 probe and accessory changing on a CMM. For optimum metrology, RUP1 should be changed automatically using REVO-2 change port (RCP TC-3). These ports are mounted on the modular rack system (MRS or MRS2).
