Automation using the FCR25 flexible change rack

The full potential of the SP25M system is realised when themeasurement routine is automated using the FCR25 flexible change rack, a passive triple-port unit capable of storing any of the system elements.The FCR25 port stores the SM25-1/-2/-3/-4 and TM25-20 modules,but can instantly be configured to store the SH25-1/-2/-3/-4 stylus holders or TP20 modules by using the appropriate port adaptor insert: PA25-SH (for SH25-1/-2/-3/-4) or PA25-20 (for TP20 modules).The FCR25 mounts directly on Renishaw’s MRS modular racksystem for multiple port solutions (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 etc). Alternatively, there is FCR25-L3 (3 port) and FCR25-L6 (6 port) stand-alone rack variants which are ideal where machine space is limited. FCR25’s mounted to the MRS

4-4 Probe maintenance

CK200 (Renishaw part number A-1085-0016) is a specialised cleaning material, for the removal of contamination from the location faces of the magnetically retained kinematic couplings of the TP20, TP200 and SP25M probe systems. The frequency of cleaning should be determined according to the conditions of use.
