MAPS Manual Autojoint Probe Stand

www.renishaw.com

The Renishaw Manual Autojoint Probe Stand (MAPS) is

a compact storage rack for up to six autojointed probe

combinations.

Mounting can be either direct to the CMM table or work bench

using a pillar and base assembly, or to a vertical surface by

means of a mounting bracket.

The pillar and base mounting will allow rotational alignment of

the stand without marking the mounting surface.

Additional clearance for longer probing combinations (up to

440 mm) can be achieved using pillar extensions. These can

be ordered separately.

The Renishaw autojoint

The Renishaw autojoint is a system designed for exchanging

probe combinations. This is a highly repeatable kinematic

joint, one half of which is attached to the probe head, the

other half of which is attached to an adaptor, extension bar

or probe. The Autojoint is locked or unlocked using a joint key

and the connection repeatability eliminates the need for probe

redatuming after a change.

bolt (not supplied)

2. Locate and screw the threaded end of the mounting

pillar securely into the sliding nut located on the underside

of the storage rack

3. Locate the assembly into the base, adjust the position to

suit and secure with the three grub screws using the key

supplied

Wall mounting the MAPS is achieved using the mounting

bracket and by carrying out the following procedure;

Loading the storage ports

Each storage port is numbered (1 to 6) so that the probe tip

data for each probing combination can be easily selected.

To load each port, simply rotate the autojoint until the key

slot faces the back of the port then locate the top face of the

autojoint under the storage rack lid and insert.

NOTE: Do not use excessive force as this may cause damage

to the autojoint mounting.
