Operation
WARNING:
Safety glasses should be worn and the CMM speed be reduced during initial operation of RTP20.
It is the machine supplier's responsibility to ensure that the user is made aware of any hazards involved in operation, including those
mentioned in Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure that adequate guards and safety interlocks are provided.
CAUTION:
RTP20 is designed for automated operation under direct control of the CMM software. To avoid possible collision
during use, RTP20 must not be unlocked, re-orientated or locked by hand during normal operation.
Preparing RTP20 for use
To prepare RTP20 for use, the pivot pole must be correctly fitted to the CMM table to ensure unobstructed operation of the probe head. The
pole consists of three sections; a fixing stud, middle stem and upper pole section which has the pivot sphere at its tip. The pole sections must
be fitted using the torque tool (supplied) to ensure the pole does not become loose during operation. Various fixing studs are available for
different CMM table fixture holes, these are; M6 x 1, M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5, 5/16” x UNC and 3/8” x UNC.
CAUTION:
RTP20 must be locked in the A, 0 and B, 0 position before initially defining the pivot pole sphere.
