Product catalog summary
Overview
The RMP40 is a radio transmission probe designed for flexible probing solutions in manufacturing, offering superior communication capabilities and performance to reduce scrap and increase profits. It is part of Renishaw's innovative process control solutions aimed at tackling process variation at its source.

Key Features
  • Ultra-compact design suitable for all sizes of machining centers and mill-turn centers.
  • Kinematic design with patented technology.
  • Trigger Logic™ for easy setup.
  • Interference-free transmission using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
  • Operates on the globally recognized 2.4 GHz waveband, compliant with major market regulations.

Process Control Benefits
  • Process Setting: Automated on-machine measurement eliminates costly fixtures and manual errors, allowing for quick process introduction and improved quality.
  • In-Process Control: Automated measurement of multi-axis features improves process capability, compensates for environmental conditions, and reduces non-productive time.
  • Post-Process Monitoring: Ensures consistent quality and reduces scrap.

Advantages
  • Proven Renishaw technology ensures robust and reliable measurement in harsh environments.
  • Fast installation and ease of use.
  • Reduced setup and calibration time, leading to more machining time and improved process control.
  • Increased automation reduces operator intervention, enhancing productivity and profits.

Technical Excellence
Renishaw, a leader in metrology solutions, invented the touch-trigger probe in the 1970s. The RMP40 continues this legacy with its kinematic resistive principle, ensuring reliable metrology through repeatable electrical triggering and mechanical reseating.

Applications
  • Suitable for all machining center sizes, especially those with small HSK and taper spindles.
  • Enables probing in multi-spindle environments and access to difficult-to-reach areas.
  • Easy retrofit to existing machines.

Customer Feedback
Customers report significant reductions in human error and scrap, with faster development times and standardized work-holding systems.

Renishaw's Commitment
Renishaw is committed to providing innovative and exceptional products, supported by a global network for service and support. Their product range includes advanced manufacturing technologies, medical devices, and measurement systems.

Conclusion
The RMP40 probe offers a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for modern manufacturing challenges, enhancing productivity and competitive edge.

The benefits of FHSS In addition to its high performance optical systems Renishaw offers a reliable radio solution for larger machines and/or installations where line-of-sight applications are not possible. Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) is a robust and proven technology, that enables devices to jump from channel to channel. Unlike other protocols which may require manual intervention, Renishaw’s products will continue to work as other devices such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microwave enter the same environment. Operating within the recognised 2.4 GHz frequency band, RMI-Q is compliant...
