RUP1 ultrasonic probe The RUP1 ultrasonic probe increases the multi-sensor capability of the REVO® 5-axis measurement system for CMMs, offering ultrasonic thickness inspection. Unlike many other ultrasonic systems, RUP1 probe does not require the use of water tanks or coupling gel to enable a good transmission of the signal. Instead, it uses an innovative elastomer tip ball to provide excellent coupling between the probe and the material. As a result, the RUP1 probe eliminates the need for skilled operators to interpret oscilloscope screens and releases shop floor space occupied by the dedicated immersion tanks. The use of ultrasonics for single-sided measurement of part thickness also delivers clear advantages over traditional tactile probing techniques for parts where access to internal features is challenging. The RUP1 probe uses a 20 MHz transducer and provides a thickness measurement range of 1 mm to 20 mm with an accuracy of better than 10 microns using touch points. The RUP1 probe is fully integrated into Renishaw’s MODUS™ metrology software (version 1.12) and UCCsuite software (version 5.8). It includes features such as geometry and material calibration, tip ball size monitoring and compensation, automatic calculation of REVO head positions based on the back-wall angle for non-parallel surfaces, and tip life monitoring. Aircraft landing gear parts, power generation drive shafts, and hollow aerospace blades are just a few parts that will significantly benefit from using the RUP1. Key benefits Thickness measurement accuracy Multi-sensor integration The RUP1 probe uses a 20 MHz transducer and provides a thickness measurement range of 1 mm to 20 mm with an accuracy of better than 10 microns using touch points. RUP1 is fully integrated into MODUS metrology software and UCCsuite software enabling its use as part of a multi-sensor system. Maximising tip ball life The tip ball is user-replaceable and is preserved by a protective cap that can be automatically removed and replaced to maximise tip life. Compatibility with the REVO system The RUP1 probe is fully compatible with the MRS2 change rack using the RCP TC-3 rack change port and is interchangeable with all other probe options available for the REVO system. Reduced costs The RUP1 probe removes the need for skilled operators to interpret oscilloscope screens, and releases shop floor space as immersion tanks and deep bore CMMs are not required.
