IS1-2 introduction

The IS1-2 interface selector is a fully automatic system for use on coordinate measuring machine (CMM) installations requiring multiple sensor types (e.g. SP25M - scanning probe, TP7M - strain gauge probe, OTP6M - optical trigger probe etc.). The unit functions by identifying which probe has been fitted to the probe head and switches the probe signal / power lines to the appropriate interface.

This guide describes how the IS1-2 (interface selector) functions when used with multiple Renishaw probing systems. It gives information on physical installation, system connections and interface settings, as well as assistance in fault finding during the installation of a system. The guide should be read in conjunction with the associated product documentation for the Renishaw equipment that is used within the multiple sensor probing system.
