Touch Probes
TP2 Touch Probe
About the TP2
The M8 threaded TP2-5 way is 13 mm in diameter. It features adjustable stylus force which enables the probe to carry a wide range of M2 styli, making it suitable for manual and DCC CMMs.
TP6 Touch Probe
About the TP6 & TP6A
The TP6 and TP6A probes have different probe mount options (M8 thread and Autojoint respectively). Both probes are kinematic touch-trigger probes and have manually adjustable trigger force for optimum probe performance with different stylus configurations.
The TP6 is 25mm in diameter and can carry long styli (M3 range), providing substantial overtravel for excellent robustness. This ideally suited to manual machines.
TP20 Touch probe
About the TP20
The TP20 is a compact 5-way, or 6-way, kinematic touch-trigger probe system. The two-piece design, comprising probe body and detachable stylus module(s), connected using a highly repeatable magnetic kinematic coupling. This provides the facility to change stylus configurations either manually or automatically without the need for requalification of the stylus tips, thereby giving significant time savings in inspection routines.
Modules offering a range of trigger forces allow the probe performance to be best matched to the measurement task. A set of probe extensions is also available, as is a 6-way module. The stylus mounting thread accepts styli from the Renishaw M2 range.
The TP20 system is easily retrofitted and is compatible with existing touch trigger probe interfaces, extensions and adaptors.
TP200
About the TP200
The TP200 probe uses micro strain gauge transducers to deliver excellent repeatability and accurate 3D form measurement even with long styli.
The sensor technology gives sub-micron repeatability and eliminates the lobing characteristics encountered with kinematic probes. The solid state ASIC electronics within the probe ensure reliable operation over millions of trigger points.
The TP200B uses the same technology as TP200 but has been designed to have higher tolerance to vibration. This helps to overcome the problem of 'air' trigger generation which can arise from vibrations transmitted through the CMM or when using long styli with faster positioning speeds.
Please note that we do not recommend the use of TP200B with the LF module or cranked/star styli.
TP200 Modules
The stylus module is mounted on the TP200/TP200B probe body via a highly repeatable magnetic kinematic joint, providing a rapid stylus changing capability and probe overtravel protection.
There are three modules available, with 2 different overtravel forces.
SCR200 Rack
The SCR200 provides automatic, high speed changing of up to six TP200 stylus modules. The SCR200 is powered by the separate probe interface, PI200, and provides features to facilitate safe stylus changing. The SCR200 is available in low force and standard force kits, where each kit comprises one SCR200 plus three stylus modules of the same force.
