Machine Tool Probes
Optical Transmission Probes

The ultra-compact OMP40-2 (40 mm diameter) and compact OMP60 (63 mm diameter) touch-trigger probes with optical transmission provide a flexible probing solution. The OMP40 is suitable for small to medium machining centres whilst the larger OMP60 is suitable for all sizes of machining centres and small to medium multi-tasking machines. Both probes are ideal for workpiece set-up and inspection.

• Proven kinematic design.
• Exceptional resistance to light interference with modulated transmission.
• 360° transmission envelope.
• Various activation options and adjustable trigger force (OMP60 only).
• 1.00 µm 2σ repeatability.

Machine Tool Probes
Radio Transmission Probes

Offering superior communication capability, the ultra-compact RMP40 (40 mm diameter) and compact RMP60 (63 mm diameter) probes are suited for operation on machines of all sizes. The traditional kinematic resistive mechanism combined with unique radio transmission technology make them ideal for modern machine shops where line-of-sight between probe and interface is not always possible.

• Proven kinematic design with secure frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio transmission.
• Globally recognised 2.4 GHz waveband compliant with radio regulations in all major markets.
• Various activation options.
• Adjustable trigger force (RMP60 only).
• 1.00 µm 2σ repeatability.

Machine Tool Probes
Modular Probes

For workpiece inspection and job set-up on all sizes of lathes, machining centres and CNC grinders. LP2 features a stylus spring force which is adjustable for different applications. LP2H has a higher, fixed spring force, allowing the use of longer styli and providing greater resistance to machine vibration. Double diaphragm (DD) variants for both probes are available for enhanced sealing when used in harsh environments with particle-laden coolant.

• Proven kinematic design.
• Interference-resistant, hard-wired communication.
• Miniature design (25 mm in diameter)
• Robust probe design for operation in harsh machining environments.
• 1.00 µm 2σ repeatability (LP2) / 2.00 µm 2σ repeatability (LP2H).
• Standard-accuracy machine tool touch probes

All probe variants are suitable for use with the modular OMP40M and OMP60M optical transmission systems and RMP40M and RMP60M radio transmission systems. They can also be mounted directly to a machine and hard-wired for component inspection in grinding applications

Machine Tool Probes
Lathe Probes

Designed specifically for workpiece set-up and inspection on lathes and grinding machines, our robust lathe probes provide outstanding metrology performance. Both probes offer an ultra-compact design, measuring just 40 mm in diameter.

• Proven kinematic design.
• Exceptional resistance to light interference (OLP40 optical transmission probe).
• Secure frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) (RLP40 radio transmission probe).
• Design enhancements for operation in harsh machining environments.
• 1.00 µm 2σ repeatability.

Machine Tool Probes
RMP24-Micro

The world's smallest wireless machine tool probe

Improve the accuracy and efficiency of your machining process with the world's smallest wireless probe for machine tools. Discover our miniature machine tool probe for automated workpiece set-up and inspection on compact machining centres.

• RMP24-micro is the world's smallest wireless machine tool probe, measuring just 24 mm in diameter and 31.4 mm in length.
• Proven for over five decades, RMP24-micro uses our established kinematic design to deliver fast, accurate and reliable part set-up and inspection.
• It is designed for micro precision applications typically found in medical, dental, electronics, jewellery and watchmaking industries. RMP24-micro is the ideal probing solution for machines with small working envelopes, machining high-value parts with delicate surfaces.

Machine Tool Probes
The ultimate probing solution for compact machines

RMP24-micro allows efficient and sustainable manufacturing by enabling manufacturers to predict, identify, and correct process errors before they occur.

• Until its introduction, ultra-compact machine tools and micro-machining centres weren't able to take advantage of these benefits which are already provided for larger machines by our range of high-accuracy machine tool probes.
• RMP24-micro helps users of these machine types to eliminate scrap, save money and reduce their environmental impact.

Machine Tool Probes
Enhanced radio transmission protocol

The QE series is our new generation of radio transmission systems. The radio protocol used by our QE series systems lays the foundation for future Renishaw technologies.

• The RMP24-micro is our latest QE series probe. It communicates with the ultra-compact RMI-QE radio interface, that is over 60% smaller than its predecessor. Both the RMP24-micro and RMI-QE employ an efficient radio protocol which ensures optimal battery life, minimising the number of batteries required over the product's lifespan.
• Robust and reliable communication with the RMI-QE, even in busy machine shop environments.
• Globally recognised 2.4 GHz waveband compliant with radio regulations in all major markets.
• Avoids interference and dead spots with frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology.
