Wholesale Ultra-compact 3D touch-trigger probe Renishaw OLP40-1 Products, Supplier

The Renishaw OLP40-1 is a highly advanced, ultra-compact laser tool setting system designed for integration directly on machine tools (also known as on-machine probing or OMP). Its primary function is to accurately measure tool presence, length, and diameter without physical contact, enabling automated tool setting and broken tool detection to maximize machining efficiency, protect valuable workpieces, and reduce operator intervention.

Product Description

Product Features & Key Capabilities
1. Proven Kinematic Design
The OLP40 is one of the smallest laser tool setters on the market. This miniature footprint allows for easy installation in cramped spaces within a machine's working envelope, even on small CNC machining centers and lathes.
2. Non-Contact Measurement
Unlike traditional touch-trigger tool setters that physically contact the tool, the OLP40 uses a laser beam. This eliminates the risk of damaging delicate or sharp tools (e.g., small drills, fine finishing tools) during the measurement process.
3. High-Speed and High Accuracy
Performs measurements at very high spindle speeds (typically up to 60,000 rpm, depending on model and tool type), accounting for centrifugal growth ("spin-up") for more accurate machining results. Offers exceptional measurement repeatability (<0.1 µm).
4. Versatile Applications
Tool Length & Diameter Measurement: Establishes precise offsets for CNC control.
Broken Tool Detection: Identifies missing or broken tools to enable lights-out machining.
Tool Wear Monitoring: Periodically checks tool size to monitor wear.
5. Seamless Integration
Designed to work with Renishaw's extensive range of machine tool interface hardware and intuitive software (e.g., Renishaw's NC4+ Blue controller or TX range of touch probes), providing a plug-and-play solution.
6. Robust Construction
Built to withstand harsh machine shop environments, featuring high resistance to contaminants like coolant and swarf to ensure long-term operational reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main application of the OLP40 laser tool setter?
The OLP40 is primarily used for workpiece inspection, job set-up, tool length/diameter measurement, broken tool detection, and tool wear monitoring on small to medium CNC machining centres and multi-tasking machines.
How does non-contact measurement benefit delicate tools?
By utilizing a precision laser beam instead of physical contact, the OLP40 eliminates mechanical pressure, protecting fragile, sharp, or small-diameter tools from breakage or edge micro-chipping during measurement.
What measurement repeatability does the OLP40 deliver?
The system offers exceptional unidirectional repeatability of 1.00 μm (40 µin) 2σ, allowing high-precision compensation for precise tool data.
What is the expected battery life of the probe?
Powered by two 1/2 AA 3.6V Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries, it delivers up to 1,500 days of standby life or up to 1,350 hours of continuous operational life depending on the configured optical power.
Is the OLP40 resistant to harsh machining fluids and environments?
Yes, it features robust construction with an IPX8 environmental protection rating (EN/IEC 60529), protecting internal electronics from coolants, oils, and swarf debris.
Which optical transmission interfaces are compatible?
The probe operates via 360° infrared optical transmission and is compatible with interfaces including OMI-2, OMI-2T, OMI-2H, OMI-2C, OMM-2/OMM-2C with OSI, as well as legacy OMI or OMM/MI 12 units.
