2 Product description
The MH8 has 2 axes. The probe connector is carried on the A axis
which can rotate the probe through 90° in the Z plane. The B axis can
rotate the probe through ±180° in the X-Y plane.
A lever actuated mechanism locks both axes in the desired position for
gauging the workpiece. The axes are unlocked to allow free rotation to
another position. The locked positions are set at angular increments of
15° in each axis, providing a total of 168 positions.
When the head orientation is locked, the probe is kinematically
constrained in a highly repeatable spatial position. This means that
after initial qualifi cation of the stylus tip, in the positions required for
gauging the workpiece, the probe may be reorientated to any of the
qualifi ed positions without the need for requalifi cation.
A red LED is provided on the front of the head to indicate the
probe's status. The LED may be driven by the CMM controller or by
a Renishaw probe interface. It is convention for the LED to be ON to
indicate a seated (armed) probe and to be OFF to indicate a triggered
probe.
Electrical connection is via a 5 pin DIN connector.
