ACR3Careofequipment
Renishaw probes and associated systems are precision tools used for obtaining precise measurements
and must therefore be treated with care.
ChangestoRenishawproducts
Renishaw reserves the right to improve, change or modify its hardware or software without incurring any
obligations to make changes to Renishaw equipment previously sold.
Warranty
Renishaw plc warrants its equipment for a limited period (as set out in our Standard Terms and

ACR3introduction
This guide contains information relating to the installation and operation of Renishaw’s ACR3
(autochange rack) system.
This guide takes a step by step approach to fitting, aligning and datuming the rack as well as providing
operational and troubleshooting guidance.
System integration and software routines recommended for the successful implementation of the ACR3
are also provided.

ACR3systemdescription
Renishaw’s ACR3 is a four port rack that facilitates fast, automatic probe exchange without the need for
probe re-qualification. The ACR3 is a four port mechanical design that traverses the MRS rail. Driven by
the motion of the CMM, it locks and unlocks the autojoint between the probe and the probe head. In
addition, the ACR3 provides covered storage and protection for up to eight probes and extension bars
(two four port systems can be linked to provide an eight port system).
Mounted within the CMM’s working envelope, the ACR3 is combined with the modular rack system
(MRS) to form an automatic change rack for probes and extension bars that incorporate the Renishaw
autojoint. Each rack port is of modular design to permit easy replacement should wear occur during the
operational life of the ACR3.
Fast probe exchange cycles are achieved by the probe head docking the original probe and selecting a
new one. The autochange system consists of a four port autochange rack (ACR3) and the modular rack
system (MRS) as shown below.
10/12/2010file://C:\Temp\~hh63CD.htm
Page 12 of 45ACR3 installation and user's guide
Autojoint
The autojoint (shown below) is a highly repeatable kinematic joint, one half of which is attached to the
probe head, the other half to a probe, extension bar or adapter.
Locking and unlocking of the autojoint is achieved either manually, using an autojoint key, or
automatically, using the autochange rack system. In all cases, the repeatability of the autojoint eliminates
the need for probe requalification after each probe exchange.
MRS
The MRS is the common mounting platform for the ACR3, SCP600 (stylus change port for SP600) and
FCR25 (flexible change rack for SP25M). It is available in a number of different overall lengths and
heights. For a detailed explanation of this system, please refer to the MRS installation and user’s guide
(part no. H-1000-5088).
