LP2 probe system basics
Introduction
The LP2 is a compact and versatile probe for applications on CNC lathes and machining centres. A wide
range of styli and accessories is available to provide custom installations.
Principal applications
Horizontal lathes
Small enough to t on a turret for part measuring, tool setting and broken tool detection when mounted in
a suitable position.
Machining centre applications
Set-up and part measuring when spindle mounted. Tool setting and broken tool detection when table
mounted.
Signal transmission systems
• Hard-wired – a range of hard-wired probe sockets is available for inspection and tool setting
applications. For machining centres with manual tool change the LP2 will t the MA2 probe holder.
• Optical or radio – for lathes and machining centres. Easy installation, particularly in retrot
applications because there is no need for the prepared passageways required for hard-wired
transmission cables. LP2 can be used with OMP40M, OMP60M, RMP40M, RMP60M.
Interface unit
A hard-wired installation with LP2 may use the HSI interface; see the HSI hard-wired system interface
installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-5500-8554), or the HSI-C interface; see the HSI-C hard-wired
system interface installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-6527-8501) or the MI 8-4 interface; see the
MI8-4 interface unit installation guide (Renishaw part no. H-2000-5008). The FS1i and FS2i probe sockets
with integral interface may also be used; see the FS1i and FS2i sockets data sheet (Renishaw part no.
H-2000-2073).
