Electrical specification

The REVO-2 head and probe electronics are powered from the UCC S5.

The RCP TC-3 is powered by a separate power supply that is supplied by Renishaw.

No other additional power supplies are required.

Probe specification


Parameter

Specification

Material thickness range

1 mm to 20 mm (metal parts excluding cast iron and additive parts) * / **

Thickness measurement accuracy

Near-parallel surfaces better than 0.025 mm ***

Non-parallel surfaces up to 10 degrees - 0.100 mm ***

Tip composition

Leaves minimal chemical residue on the surface

Tip life - in use

1 - 5 shifts (will depend on environment) ****

Tip life - ready to use

7 days in a rack stored with protective cap ****

Tip life - shelf life

12 months minimum (when stored in packaging)

Measurement method

Point measurement of near-parallel surfaces

Capability to measure non-parallel surfaces (up to 10° wedge angle) ***

Probe changing

Fully automated to work with standard REVO-2 multi sensor set-up


* Near-parallel surfaces

** The range has been verified on aluminium 4032/ 6020, 303/316/416 stainless steels, titanium alloys. Other metals will be able to be measured but may not achieve these specifications.

*** Relies on the calibration artefact being manufactured of the same material, same manufacturing processes, same location from bar stock as the part.

**** 1 shift = 8 hours and in a 20 °C calibration room.

Application features


Product feature

Calculating bore diameters from thicknesses

Measure the outside diameter and the thickness allows the internal diameter to be calculated. Internal diameter must exceed 100 mm.

Measuring internal distances to square shoulders

Start at the small diameter, take a series of points into the large diameter. Application trials show an accuracy 0.15 mm can be achieved.

Ball diameter damage detection

The system consistently checks the ball condition.

Signal quality indication

A signal quality ‘Q' value is available. If signal quality is poor, logic can be used to retry points or the point can be substituted with orbital discovery mode (ODM).

Tip life - ready to use

System reports if the ball / tip becomes too small or damaged.

Temperature

Temperature affects the material speed of sound more than the thermal expansion. Calibrating the speed of sound on the same material as the part eliminates this, providing there are no large temperature changes.
