Installation procedure

Mounting the shank to the probe head

•
Hold the shank in the recess on the top face of the MH8.
•
Rotate the shank until 3 screw holes are aligned.
•
Fix the shank in place using only the M3 x 5mm screws
(supplied).
•
Progressively tighten using the 2.5mm A/F hexagon key
(supplied).
Mounting the head to the CMM
The head will normally be attached to the ram of the CMM using a
standard shank, specified by the CMM manufacturer.
Standard shanks are listed in the section 'Part number summary'.
Special or customised mounting arrangements are possible. Please
contact your supplier or Renishaw, for details of our custom products
service.
The mounting must be absolutely rigid, as any movement during
normal operation of the head will add errors to the measurement
system.
If the head is replaced or repositioned in the ram, it will be necessary
to requalify all of the head positions in current use.
