Renishaw modular probe systems allow you to choose the optimal stylus arrangement for accuracy… whatever your measurement task
Probe extension modules
A new range of extension modules (EMs)
increases probe reach, allowing the
inspection of features with restricted access.
The extension modules are available in 70mm
(EM1) or 95mm (EM2) sizes (EM1 is 50mm
longer and EM2 is 75mm longer than the
standard force module). The standard
trigger force module is integral to both
EM1 and EM2.
The use of an extension module gives
improved metrology performance compared
to using the equivalent length of stylus with a
standard length module. The ability to change
modules without re-qualification and to
automate the changing process (using the
MCR20 rack), offers advantages over the use
of existing probe extension bars, such as the
Renishaw PEL1.
Fast, repeatable styluschanging with TP20
The MCR20 module change rack
The optional MCR20 module changing rack has
the capability of storing up to six probe modules
for automatic changing under measurement
program control. Probe triggers are inhibited
during module changing by a proximity switch
system, which eliminates the need for an
electrical connection to the MCR20.
The MCR20 is designed to securely hold
the stored probe modules and to protect them
from contaminants that may be present in
the working environment.
The MSR1 module storage rack
The MSR1 can store up to 6 probe modules
for manual stylus changing and safekeeping
when not in use. Pre-qualified stylus
arrangements on probe modules can be
selected and switched when needed.
TP20 probe system
The TP20 is a touch-trigger probe that
gives its users the ability to change stylus
configurations manually or automatically,
without re-qualification.
The TP20 is now widely accepted as the
industry standard replacement for the TP2-5W
probe, offering a range of new benefits.
It can be easily retrofitted to manual and DCC
co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
TP2 replacement – 5 way sensing
These modules offer a direct replacement
for the TP2-5W probe. A choice of 4 fixed
trigger force options (low, standard,
medium and extended force), provide
predictable performance in a wide range
of operating conditions.
TP2 replacement – 6 way sensing
The new TP20-6W module provides sensing in
the -Z direction, allowing the gauging of
undercuts or grooves. The TP20-6W module is
a direct replacement for the TP2-6W and offers
superior metrology performance.
The TP20 probe and modules
The TP20 probe comprises
two parts – a probe body and
a detachable probe module,
which contains the kinematic
touch sensor and carries the
stylus assembly.
The probe module is
connected to the probe body
by a highly repeatable
magnetic coupling. This
enables the exchange of
modules without the need to
re-qualify the stylus tips,
giving significant time savings
for inspection routines.
The probe body has a
standard M8 screw
connector, which enables
direct fitting to all CMMs with
a Renishaw PH1, PH6, MH8
or PH10T probe head.
Fitment to PH10M and MIH
probe heads is simply
achieved using a Renishaw
PAA adaptor.
The kinematic coupling
between the probe body
and module affords some
crash protection in the
X and Y axes.
TP20 system’s key benefits
The TP20 system extends the
availability of fast stylus
changing to users of manual
CMMs. For users of
automated CMMs, software
available from the machines’
suppliers facilitates automatic
stylus changing in most TP2
or TP6 applications.
• Reduced cycle times
achieved through fast
stylus changing without
re-qualification.
• Optimised probe and
stylus performance
with seven specialised
probe modules.
• Easily retrofitted to all
Renishaw standard
probe heads.
• Compatible with
existing touch-trigger
probe interfaces.
• Fitting to Renishaw’s
autojoint probe heads with
PAA adaptors/extensions.
• Industry standard
metrology performance.
• Provides X and Y
crash protection.
Reduce cycle times on your manual and automated CMMs
The range of modules
Seven probe modules are available, each
designed to easily optimise probe performance
in a wide range of applications.
The trigger force options can be identified by
the colour-coded caps:
Low force aquamarine/green cap
Standard force black
Medium force grey
Extended force brown

Renishaw modular probe systems allow you to choose the optimal stylus arrangement for accuracy… whatever your measurement task
Probe extension modules
A new range of extension modules (EMs)
increases probe reach, allowing the
inspection of features with restricted access.
The extension modules are available in 70mm
(EM1) or 95mm (EM2) sizes (EM1 is 50mm
longer and EM2 is 75mm longer than the
standard force module). The standard
trigger force module is integral to both
EM1 and EM2.
The use of an extension module gives
improved metrology performance compared
to using the equivalent length of stylus with a
standard length module. The ability to change
modules without re-qualification and to
automate the changing process (using the
MCR20 rack), offers advantages over the use
of existing probe extension bars, such as the
Renishaw PEL1.
Fast, repeatable styluschanging with TP20
The MCR20 module change rack
The optional MCR20 module changing rack has
the capability of storing up to six probe modules
for automatic changing under measurement
program control. Probe triggers are inhibited
during module changing by a proximity switch
system, which eliminates the need for an
electrical connection to the MCR20.
The MCR20 is designed to securely hold
the stored probe modules and to protect them
from contaminants that may be present in
the working environment.
The MSR1 module storage rack
The MSR1 can store up to 6 probe modules
for manual stylus changing and safekeeping
when not in use. Pre-qualified stylus
arrangements on probe modules can be
selected and switched when needed.
TP20 probe system
The TP20 is a touch-trigger probe that
gives its users the ability to change stylus
configurations manually or automatically,
without re-qualification.
The TP20 is now widely accepted as the
industry standard replacement for the TP2-5W
probe, offering a range of new benefits.
It can be easily retrofitted to manual and DCC
co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
TP2 replacement – 5 way sensing
These modules offer a direct replacement
for the TP2-5W probe. A choice of 4 fixed
trigger force options (low, standard,
medium and extended force), provide
predictable performance in a wide range
of operating conditions.
TP2 replacement – 6 way sensing
The new TP20-6W module provides sensing in
the -Z direction, allowing the gauging of
undercuts or grooves. The TP20-6W module is
a direct replacement for the TP2-6W and offers
superior metrology performance.
The TP20 probe and modules
The TP20 probe comprises
two parts – a probe body and
a detachable probe module,
which contains the kinematic
touch sensor and carries the
stylus assembly.
The probe module is
connected to the probe body
by a highly repeatable
magnetic coupling. This
enables the exchange of
modules without the need to
re-qualify the stylus tips,
giving significant time savings
for inspection routines.
The probe body has a
standard M8 screw
connector, which enables
direct fitting to all CMMs with
a Renishaw PH1, PH6, MH8
or PH10T probe head.
Fitment to PH10M and MIH
probe heads is simply
achieved using a Renishaw
PAA adaptor.
The kinematic coupling
between the probe body
and module affords some
crash protection in the
X and Y axes.
TP20 system’s key benefits
The TP20 system extends the
availability of fast stylus
changing to users of manual
CMMs. For users of
automated CMMs, software
available from the machines’
suppliers facilitates automatic
stylus changing in most TP2
or TP6 applications.
• Reduced cycle times
achieved through fast
stylus changing without
re-qualification.
• Optimised probe and
stylus performance
with seven specialised
probe modules.
• Easily retrofitted to all
Renishaw standard
probe heads.
• Compatible with
existing touch-trigger
probe interfaces.
• Fitting to Renishaw’s
autojoint probe heads with
PAA adaptors/extensions.
• Industry standard
metrology performance.
• Provides X and Y
crash protection.
Reduce cycle times on your manual and automated CMMs

designed to easily optimise probe performance
in a wide range of applications.
