OMP60 OMI-2 optical transmission system
Next generation optical system
Following in the footsteps of Renishaw's RMP60 radio probe, OMP60 is a next
generation optical probe suitable for medium to large machining and mill-turn
centres.
The OMP60 probe can be combined with the new OMI-2 integrated
receiver and interface. Utilising a revised state-of-the-art modulated optical
transmission method, the system offers the highest level of resistance to light
interference.
The OMP60 probe is also compatible with existing OMM/MI12 and OMI
receivers, enabling current MP7, MP8, MP9 and MP10 system users to benefit
from some of its innovative features.
By using Renishaws proven trigger logic, multiple turn on/off options are
available to optimise the probe to specific machine applications, without
accessing probe internals. Using readily available AA batteries, users can
expect a battery life in excess of 6 months, minimising machine downtime
and maintenance costs. As always, probe and interface are built to withstand
the harshest shock and vibration conditions which make the OMP60 highly
resistant to false triggering.
Further to Renishaw's commitment to the support of legacy systems, the
OMP60 can be programmed to replace the various activation methods
developed for customers over many years.
Key benefits
Innovations
Compact design
Measuring 63 mm in diameter and 76 mm in length, the
OMP60 is ideal for use on a wide range of machining
centres and allows the user to probe surfaces that are cut
using the shortest tools in the machines carousel.
Increased resistance to light interference
The OMP60 probe and OMI-2 combined interface
and receiver unit feature increased resistance to light
interference.
360 degree infra-red transmission
With a range of up to 6 metres, the OMP60 is easily
installed on medium to large machining centres, and is
ideal for retrofitting to upgrade the performance of existing
machines.
Robust and reliable
Both the OMP60 and OMI-2 are sealed to IPX8 and are
built to withstand the harshest machine tool environments
and have improved resistance to shock and vibration.
Multiple functions in one single unit
Multiple turn on/off methods are available, combining
functionality of existing proven Renishaw technology into
one single unit.
Simple installation and programming
Trigger logic can be set without accessing probe internals.
The new OMI-2 provides an integral interface and receiver
unit for simple installation.
