System installation
CAUTIONS:
The TS20 system must be installed by a competent person observing relevant safety precautions.
Before commencing work, ensure the machine tool is in a safe condition with the power switched OFF.
Switch off the power supply to the TS20 probe system components.
Cable from probe
Ensure the probe cable is routed away from other cables carrying high currents.
Probe false trigger
The TS20-SCM should be installed on machines with a stable power supply i.e. Interference free. If false
triggers occur, investigate the power supply rails for interference.
Electrical interference
It is recommended that the interface unit is installed within the machine electronics control cabinet.
Normal electronic equiptment installation rules apply, i.e. units should be mounted away from any potential
sources of interference, such as three phase transformers and motor controllers.
Styli set-up
TS20 styli have an M3 thread and 10 × 10mm tip. Straight styli incorporate a break stem to protect the
probe in the event of a collision. A damaged stylus can be replaced - For more information, see page
3-5, “Stylus tting instructions”.
TS20 probe with straight stylus
When a replacement stylus is tted, the stylus squareness specication cannot be guaranteed, after the
original stylus has been removed.
TS20 probe with cranked stylus
When a replacement styli is tted, the stylus squareness and parallelism specication cannot be
guaranteed, once the original stylus has been removed.
Software routines
Toolsetting software rountines to suit various machine controllers are available from Renishaw (the current
list is available on application).
