OSI/OSI-D with OMM-2C system
used in single probe mode
The system can be used with any Renishaw
OMP, OLP or OTS probe system. The following
descriptions use OMP60 as an example.
In single probe mode, the system will interface a
single Renishaw machine probe with the machine
controller. It is possible for either a single OMM-2C
or tandem OMM-2C/OMM-2 to be connected to
the OSI. The selected configuration will depend on
the machine application.
When the OMM-2C is used in tandem, both
receivers will simultaneously provide an indication
of system status. Tandem OMM-2C can be used
on twin-spindle machines to maintain probe
communications when a probe is in the second
spindle. Tandem OMM-2C and OMM-2 allows
for uninterrupted probe communications where
line-of-sight issues become apparent when only a
single receiver is used.
The illustration below shows a typical OSI with
OMM-2C system used in single probe mode.
Alternatively, the system can be used to interface
a single OTS (optical tool setter) instead of the
OMP (optical machine probe) shown.
