The high power optical transmission system is based upon standard optical systems, enhancements allowing the system to transmit up to 12 m (39.3 ft) and benefiting from reflections to maintain contact with the receiver. It enables the use of the MP700E and MP10E in applications requiring large probe and receiver separation. H-2000-2259-01-B
Since the invention of the touch trigger probe by Sir David McMurtry in 1972, probing has become a vital component of automated production processes on machine tools. This simple mechanism, employing a kinematic location to retain a stylus in a highly repeatable manner, has formed the basis of many Renishaw probes for over 30 years. Renishaw kinematic touch trigger probes continue to serve the manufacturing industry well, remain the markets best selling probing products by far, and are the first choice of the majority of end users and machine tool builders alike. The level of measuring performance and reliability of these probes must not be understated.
