RMP40 Compact Touch Probe
Renishaw's smallest probe with frequency hopping radio transmission.
RMP40 is a new addition to Renishaw's inspection probe family. This is Renishaw's smallest frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio probe ideal for all sizes of machining centres.
About RMP40
The RMP40 combines the miniaturisation of the OMP40-2 with the radio capability used in the RMP60 and RMP600. It uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band that is compliant with radio regulations worldwide and compatible with any Renishaw RMI or RMI-Q interface/receiver.
With RMP40, machining centres fitted with small HSK and taper spindles can now benefit from FHSS radio transmission technology. It is ideal for multi-axis milling applications where the line of sight between the inspection probe and interface cannot always be maintained.
Simple set-up
Unlike fixed frequency systems, with the RMP40 there is no need to allocate a specific radio channel.
Compact and robust
The RMP40 is ideal for machines of all sizes and can access surfaces cut with short tools. Its robust stainless steel body makes it suited to the harshest machine environments.
Ideal for retrofit
The RMI or RMI-Q (a combined antenna, interface and receiver) can be positioned anywhere near the machine, resulting in a fast installation.
Frequency hopping spread spectrum transmission
Renishaw's FHSS transmission for probes allows the RMP40 and RMI or RMI-Q to hop frequencies together to provide reliable communications.
Miniaturisation
Miniaturisation of electronics has allowed the development of an ultra-compact radio probe measuring only 40 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length; Renishaw's smallest radio probe.
Simple and safe programming
Patented Trigger Logic™ enables users to configure the system without access to the internals of the probe.
RMP40 Software options

RMP60 Touch Probe
A touch-trigger probe with radio transmission for communicating with the machine's CNC controller, for component setting/inspection on machining centres.
RMP60 uses a unique frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio transmission system that makes it ideal for use on large and 5-axis machines.
About RMP60
RMP60 has been designed to take advantage of the extended battery life and multiple probing capabilities of the RMI-Q whilst maintaining backwards compatibility with the original RMI. About RMP60
As with its predecessor, RMP60 is a component of a radio transmission part probing system, and is ideally suited to large machining centres or where line-of-sight between probe and receiver is difficult to achieve.
RMP60 features an integrated probe module delivering exceptional robustness and generous over travel.
RMP60 complies with FCC regulations and operates in the 2.4 GHz band. It delivers interference-free transmission through the use of FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum). This allows many systems to operate in the same machine shop without risk of cross-talk.
The RMI-Q integrated interface/receiver is used to communicate between the RMP60 probe and the machine control.
The probe may be activated by RF signal initiated by an M-code, spinning or shank switch.The probe can be used alone or as part of a larger system comprised of multiple radio spindle probes and/or tool setters to function with a single RMI-Q.
RMP60 is also backward compatible with the RMI.
