RTP1 system description

The RTP1 probe brings automated temperature measurement to CMMs as part of the REVO 5-axis multi-sensor measuring system.

The RTP1 has had it's temperature profile factory verified and each unit contains a preload mechanism with overtravel detection.

No specific analysis software is required, please contact your application software provider to check the RTP1 is supported.

Because the RTP1 system is used as part of a multi-sensor system, and uses specially designed calibration routines, the location of the tip is known precisely. Temperature data can therefore be collected from a specific location, even if there is significant variation between nominally identical parts. The temperature can then be stored alongside the part's dimensional data for future reference.

System components overview

RTP1 probe

The RTP1 probe houses electronics to condition the signals from the transducer so that they can be communicated to the controller via the REVO‐2 head. RTP1 can be stored in the RCP TC-2 port on the MRS or MRS2 racks.

RCP TC-2

The thermally controlled RCP TC-2 port maintains its stored probe at operating temperature. It is compatible with Renishaw's MRS and MRS2 rack systems. It should be used for the RTP1 probe.
