TP20 probe modules
This section covers the use and care of the TP20 probe modules for the RTP20.
Introduction
The Renishaw TP20 probe modules incorporate a kinematic coupling, which ensures highly repeatable stylus tip positioning.
The range of modules comprises 5-way versions with length or trigger force options and a 6-way version.
Probe modules fit directly onto the RTP20 kinematic mount. It is possible to change TP20 modules with different stylus configurations without
re-qualification.
