Machine Tool Probe Retrofit Questionnaire Summary
This document is a Machine Tool Probe Retrofit Questionnaire issued by Renishaw Inc. for the installation of optical transmission probes on a Manford VHG-1000 CNC machining center (VMC) equipped with a Mitsubishi M80A control at 846 Test Squadron USAF, Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. The questionnaire must be completed and returned before a quotation can be issued. The customer installation requires a safety briefing, is subject to ITAR restrictions, and does not require a non-disclosure agreement. The installation timeframe is 3 to 4 weeks, subject to availability.
The machine specifications include a CAT 40 tool holder, axis travels of 40.1574" (X), 20.0787" (Y), and 22.0472" (Z), serial number 170152, and is currently installed. The Promac control option is not activated. Installation of various Renishaw probe systems (OMP40/60/RMP60, OMP400/600/RMP600, OLP40, RLP40, RMP40M/LP2, OTS, RTS, TS27R, NC4, and HPRA) requires up to 8 hours of installation time and up to 6 hours of training. Machine tool software requirements include Inspection Plus, Tool Setting, NC4 Tool Setting for the machining center, and Inspection and Tool Setting for lathe operations. Program number requirements range from 9002–9110 and 9700–9900, with macro variables #100–#199 and #500–#599 dedicated for macro use. All training covers probe application and use but excludes integration into existing customer manufacturing programs. The document emphasizes that this questionnaire is for informational purposes only and that the Government is not obligated by its terms; detailed requirements are specified in the attached Statement of Work.

NC4:
HPRA:
Hardwired Fixed Installation: Up to 8 Hours
Training Time: Up to 6 Hours
• Fixed system the probe is fixed either to a T slot in the machine bed, or can be mounted on a riser if required to allow tools to reach the laser beam.
*NOTE: A riser is not provided by Renishaw unless specified on quote.
*NOTE: The NC4 cannot be mounted on pallets or rotary tables.
Separate system
Separate Installation: Up to 12Hours* Training Time: Up to 6 Hours
• The probe transmitter and receiver are mounted to brackets which attach to the machine.
*NOTE: Brackets and their installation are not provided by Renishaw unless specifically stated in the quote. *NOTE: Brackets not provided by Renishaw must be mounted prior to the arrival of a Renishaw engineer.
• The brackets should allow for complete machine motion (pallet shuttles, rotary tables, axis travels, etc.), laser beam alignment and expected system performance.
*NOTE: Depending on bracket mounting requirements, additional time may be required.
Fixed or Separate Systems
• The NC4 must be mounted in such a way that the tool can access the laser beam and move in all three axis (X, Y, Z) with respect to the beam.
• For basic functionality (length, diameter, basic broken tool) no M code is required.
• For additional features (missing/broken insert, profile checking, rapid broken tool check) a level M code pair is required.
Hardwired
The HPRA must be mounted to a bracket, which attaches to the machine. *NOTE: The brackets and their installation are not provided by Renishaw unless specifically stated in the quote. *NOTE: Brackets not provided by Renishaw must be mounted prior to the arrival of a Renishaw engineer.
Dual probe installations (**Part and Tool probe on same machine**)
• For dual optical or dual radio installations, 2 pairs oflevel M codes are required.
• Optical/Radio part probe with wired tool probe. Requires either two independent probe inputs (multi channel skip) or 1 pair level M code driven relay.
The M code driven relay must be installed and available prior to the probe installation
Example: Level M code
M51 - Part Probe (Selected) M61 - Tool Setter (Selected)
M51 energize relay ( coil latches and stays energized) program continues M61 de-energize relay ( coil resets) program continues
Example: Pulsed M code
M code for Flash (Optical) on and off M71 pulse (Momentarily energize relay) program continues.
Note: The product details contained in this document are for general guidance. To determine the requirements for your application, consult the relevant product literature or contact your Renishaw representative for more information.
