Why are my Renishaw Measuring Instruments showing poor measurement performance?
- Z
  Zachary KirkAug 3, 2025
  If you are experiencing poor measurement performance with your Renishaw Measuring Instruments, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that all mounting screws are tight and that the mounting to the CMM is secure, as a loose head mounting can cause this issue. Also, remove and reattach the probe to ensure it is correctly attached. Another cause could be force applied to the head during lock up, so try locking and unlocking the head. Also, check the qualification information, as the position might not be qualified. Finally, make sure that the head is correctly positioned.

What causes a datum error in Renishaw Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Mr. Kevin DeanAug 8, 2025
  If your Renishaw Measuring Instruments experience a datum error, it could be due to faulty cables or connections. Check the condition of the cabling from the head to the controller. Alternatively, the head/stylus configuration may be obstructed; remove any obstructions and update the head using HCU1 or under CMM control. Another potential cause is a probe extension combination that is too long; try using a shorter/lighter stylus combination.

What to do if Renishaw Measuring Instruments show an overload error?

  If your Renishaw Measuring Instruments display an overload error, it could be due to the head lock-up holding force being exceeded during CMM acceleration. To resolve this, try reducing the mass of the probe combination or decreasing the acceleration. Alternatively, the error might be caused by a collision with the workpiece or CMM. In this case, inspect the head for damage, remove any obstructions, and then repeat the move.

What to do if Renishaw Measuring Instruments have no probe signal?
- D
  Danny CainAug 18, 2025
  If your Renishaw Measuring Instruments are showing a 'No probe signal' error, start by checking if the probe is correctly attached. Remove it and then reattach it securely. You should also check the condition of the cabling from the head to the controller, as faulty cables or connections can cause this issue. If these steps don't resolve the problem, there may be an issue with the probe output being disabled by the CMM. Check the probe output to ensure it is enabled.

  If there is no head movement in your Renishaw Measuring Instruments, it could be due to a power loss. Check that the controller power LED is lit, inspect the mains cable for its condition and integrity, check the controller fuse, and verify the emergency stop condition. Another possible cause is faulty cabling or connections. Check the condition of the cabling from the head to the controller.
