Service
You may undertake the maintenance routines
described in this handbook.
Further dismantling and repair of Renishaw
equipment is a highly specialised operation,
which must be carried out at authorised
Renishaw service centres.
Equipment requiring repair, overhaul or attention
under warranty should be returned to your
supplier.
Maintenance
CAUTION: The probe is a precision tool and
must be handled with care.
The probe is designed to operate in a machine
tool environment. Do not allow chips to build up
around the probe body, and do not allow dirt or
liquids to enter the sealed working parts. Keep
system mating surfaces clean, and ensure that
inductive transmission gaps are clear. Periodically
check the probe’s rear O-ring, cables and
connections for signs of damage and slackness.
Cleaning the probe front seal
LP2 – LP2H
Dirt may accumulate in the cavity underneath the
metal eyelid seal.
LP2DD – LP2HDD
Dirt may accumulate in the cavity underneath the
outer diaphragm. (Outer diaphragm replacement
kits are available.)
LP2 – LP2H – LP2DD – LP2HDD
Once a month, remove the stylus front cap (the
C spanner is provided for easy cap removal) then
remove all the residue with a low-pressure jet of
coolant. Do not use a sharp tool or a degreasing
agent. The cleaning interval may be extended
or reduced, depending on the rate at which dirt
accumulates. If the inner diaphragm is damaged,
return the probe to your supplier for repair.
Re-assembling the components
CAUTION: Do not use the probe with the cap
removed. Check that the probe is rmly secured
in its mounting.
