Renishaw plc New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire GL12 8JR United Kingdom TP200 precision touch trigger probe High precision TTP with stylus module changing The TP200 was developed for tightly toleranced workpieces, and where access to features requires long or complex stylus arrangements. High precision repeatability and 3D form measurement with long styli is achieved by employing a novel type of strain gauge structure to detect small displacements of the stylus tip. In standard probes, where a mechanical switch generates the touch signal, the force required at the stylus tip to trigger the probe varies with the probing direction, producing small form measurement errors sometimes called ‘lobing’. The TP200 overcomes this error by using electronic strain sensing to precisely detect the force produced by minute displacements of the stylus tip. The TP200 system incorporates a probe body and separate stylus modules, providing rapid stylus changing and probe overtravel capability, and is compatible with Renishaw’s probe heads and extension bars. Superior measuring performance with stylus lengths up to 100 mm TP200 is recommended for tightly toleranced workpieces and high density point taking applications. It is also suited to features requiring long or complex stylus arrangements. Strain-gauge technology TP200 sensor technology gives sub-micron triggering performance and eliminates the lobing characteristics encountered with standard ‘kinematic touch probes’. Increase productivity Fast, automatic stylus changing and stylus module life typically in excess of 10 million triggers, increase productivity, saving time and costs. Solid state ASIC electronics The solid state ASIC electronics within the probe ensure reliable operation over millions of trigger points. Rapid and easy exchange of styli with a one-off qualification Rapidly interchangable stylus modules Standard force (SF) and low force (LF) stylus modules are available. The latter designed for use with small ball styli or on delicate materials. In addition, an extended overtravel (EO) Allows optimisation of stylus arrangements, dealing with conflicting requirements such as feature access, surface finish and accuracy. module, provides increased protection against CMM motion overrun.
