Optical transmission Standard-accuracy probes

The ultra-compact OMP40-2 (40 mm diameter), ITP (40 mm diameter) and compact OMP60 (63 mm diameter) touch-trigger probes with optical transmission provide a flexible probing solution. The OMP40 is suitable for small to medium machining centres whilst the larger OMP60 is suitable for all sizes of machining centres and small to medium multi-tasking machines. Three probes are ideal for workpiece set-up and inspection.

  • Proven kinematic design.
  • Exceptional resistance to light interference with modulated transmission.
  • 360 transmission envelope.
  • Various activation options and adjustable trigger force (OMP60 only).
  • 1 m 2s repeatability.

Optical transmission High-accuracy probes

Measuring just 40 mm in diameter, the ultra-compact OMP400 probe is ideal for users of small to medium machining centres. Whilst the compact OMP600, 63 mm in diameter, is suitable for all sizes of machining centres. These probes are an effective solution when there is line-of-sight between the probe and receiver or interface.

  • Provden and patented with RENGAGE technology.
  • Secure and robust infrared transmission with operating range up to 5 m (OMP400) and 6 m (OMP600).
  • Unidirectional repeatability of 0.25 µm 2σ.

Modular probes

Our modular transmission systems (OMP40M / OMP60M and RMP40M / RMP60M) enable a probe to access features for inspection or part setting which might be inaccessible with a standard unit. We offer a comprehensive range of adaptors, extensions and stylus configurations to tackle even the most demanding probing applications.

For workpiece inspection and job set-up on all sizes of lathes, machining centres and CNC grinders. LP2 features a stylus spring force which is adjustable for different applications. LP2H has a higher, fixed spring force, allowing the use of longer styli and providing greater resistance to machine vibration. Double diaphragm (DD) variants for both probes are available for enhanced sealing when used in harsh environments with particle-laden coolant.

  • Proven kinematic design.
  • Interference-resistant, hard-wired communication.
  • Miniature design (25 mm in diameter)
  • Robust probe design for operation in harsh machining environments.
  • 1 m 2s repeatability (LP2) / 2 m 2s repeatability (LP2H).

All probe variants are suitable for use with the modular OMP40M and OMP60M optical transmission systems and RMP40M and RMP60M radio transmission systems. They can also be mounted directly to a machine and hard-wired for component inspection in grinding applications.
