4.2 Probe Mounting

• Mount the OMP40-2 probe into the machine spindle using the appropriate tool holder.
• Ensure the probe is securely seated and aligned.
• Refer to your machine tool's manual for specific spindle mounting procedures.

4.3 System Pairing and Calibration

The OMP40-2 probe communicates optically with a receiver unit on the machine. Follow these general steps:

1. Power on the machine tool and the probe system receiver.
2. Initiate the pairing sequence as per the machine tool controller's instructions and the OMP40-2 quick start guide.
3. Perform a calibration routine using a known reference artifact (e.g., a calibration sphere) to establish probe offsets and ensure measurement accuracy.
4. Verify successful communication and calibration before proceeding with measurements.

5. Instruções de operação

The Renishaw OMP40-2 probe is designed for automated measurement cycles. Operation is typically controlled via the machine tool's CNC program.

5.1 Workpiece Set-up

• Use the probe to accurately locate workpiece datums (e.g., edges, bores, surfaces) before machining operations.
• This allows for precise alignment of the workpiece with the machine's coordinate system, reducing manual setup time and errors.

5.2 In-Process Measurement

• Integrate probing cycles within machining programs to measure critical features during the manufacturing process.
• This enables adaptive machining, where subsequent operations can be adjusted based on real-time measurements, improving part quality and reducing scrap.

5.3 Post-Process Inspection

• After machining, use the probe to perform final inspection of part dimensions and geometry directly on the machine.
• This provides immediate feedback on part quality and can eliminate the need for separate inspection steps.

Observação: Always ensure the probe stylus is clean and undamaged before any measurement cycle. Refer to your machine tool's programming manual for specific G-code or macro instructions for probing cycles.

6. Manutenção

Regular maintenance ensures the accuracy and reliability of your Renishaw OMP40-2 probe.

6.1 Limpeza

• Corpo da sonda: Wipe the probe body with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Caneta: Gently clean the stylus tip with a lint-free cloth. Ensure no debris is present on the ruby ball.
• Optical Window: Keep the optical transmission window clean and free from coolant or debris to ensure reliable signal transmission.

6.2 Substituição da bateria

• Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator is observed (refer to your machine interface for indicator details).
• Always use recommended 1/2 AA Lithium batteries for optimal performance and battery life.
• Descarte as baterias usadas de acordo com os regulamentos locais.

6.3 Stylus Inspection and Replacement

• Periodically inspect the stylus for wear, damage, or signs of impact.
• A damaged stylus can significantly affect measurement accuracy and must be replaced immediately with a genuine Renishaw replacement stylus.
• After stylus replacement, always perform a full probe calibration.
