Renishaw, a global engineering technologies company, will introduce the RMP400 machine tool probe at IMTS, USA and AMB, Germany, prior to its official launch at JIMTOF 2018 in Japan. Designed for small 5-axis machine tools, this ultra-compact strain gauge probe provides a reliable and precise touch-trigger solution for part setting, feature measurement and machine performance checking.

RENGAGE technology for superior 3D performance

Radio transmission with excellent reliability
Suitable for installations where there is no line-of-sight between the spindle probe and the communication interface, the RMP400 uses radio transmission with frequency hopping spread spectrum technology (FHSS). FHSS technology enables devices to avoid interference and transmission dead spots, allowing the RMP400 to perform with impressive reliability even in high-density radio frequency environments.
