Manwal tal-Utent tas-Sonda CMM Renishaw TP200

Introduzzjoni

The Renishaw TP200 is a compact, module-changing probe designed for use with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). It utilizes advanced strain-gauge mechanisms to provide superior accuracy and extended operational life compared to traditional kinematic touch-trigger probes. The TP200's micro strain gauge transducers ensure excellent repeatability and precise 3D form measurement, even when using long styli. This sensor technology achieves sub-micron repeatability and effectively eliminates the lobing characteristics commonly associated with kinematic probes, making it ideal for high-precision measurement applications.

Kontenut tal-Pakkett

Upon opening the Renishaw TP200 kit, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The standard package typically includes:

• TP200 Probe Body
• Two TP200 Modules (e.g., Standard Force, Extended Force)
• Probe Test Certificate
• Cleaning Kit for Stylus and Module Changing Systems
• Product Guides and Documentation
• Kawża Protettiva tal-Ħażna

Setup

Proper setup of the TP200 probe is crucial for accurate measurements. Follow these steps for initial installation and module attachment:

1. Mounting the Probe Body: Securely attach the TP200 probe body to the CMM's probe head. Ensure the connection is firm and free from any wobble. Refer to your CMM's manual for specific probe head mounting procedures.
2. Attaching a Module:
   • Select the appropriate TP200 module for your measurement task (e.g., Standard Force for general applications, Extended Force for longer styli).
   • Align the module with the probe body. The module is designed for quick and repeatable magnetic attachment.
   • Gently push the module onto the probe body until it clicks into place, indicating a secure magnetic connection. Do not force the module.
3. Styli Attachment: Attach the desired stylus to the module. Ensure the stylus is clean and properly threaded or mounted according to its design.
4. Kalibrazzjoni: Before first use and after any module or stylus change, the probe system must be calibrated on the CMM. Follow your CMM software's calibration routine to ensure accurate measurements.

Operazzjoni

The Renishaw TP200 probe operates by detecting contact with a workpiece surface. Its strain-gauge technology provides highly accurate trigger signals, enabling precise measurement.

Basic Measurement Principles:

• The TP200 probe registers a trigger signal when its stylus deflects by a minimal amount upon contact with a part.
• This signal is sent to the CMM controller, which records the precise coordinates of the contact point.
• The strain-gauge mechanism ensures consistent trigger force and minimal pre-travel variation, contributing to high measurement repeatability.

Module Changing:

The TP200's module-changing capability allows for rapid exchange of modules without re-qualification, provided the system is properly calibrated. This is typically performed using an automated rack system on the CMM.

1. Automated Change: If your CMM is equipped with a module changing rack (e.g., MCR20), program the CMM to automatically deposit the current module and pick up the desired one.
2. Manual Change: To manually change a module, gently pull the current module straight off the probe body. Then, align the new module and push it onto the probe body until it magnetically locks into place.

Always ensure the probe and modules are clean before and after operation to maintain optimal performance.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Renishaw TP200 probe system.

Tindif:

• Probe Body and Modules: Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior of the probe body and modules. For stubborn dirt, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can be used, applied to the cloth, not directly to the components.
• Stilus: Clean the stylus tip regularly using the provided cleaning kit or a suitable lint-free wipe. A dirty stylus can significantly impact measurement accuracy.
• Module Changing Interface: Periodically inspect and clean the magnetic contact surfaces on both the probe body and the modules to ensure a reliable connection.

Ħażna:

When not in use, store the TP200 probe body and modules in their original protective case. This protects them from dust, debris, and physical damage.
