Description RWP20.50

1.1.3 Intended Use

The radio-wave touch probe is a partly completed machine for incorporation in machine tools or machines for

machining. It is used for measuring different workpiece geometries as well as for temperature measurement.

Any other use or any use beyond that described is not deemed to be proper. The manufacturer is not liable for any

resulting damage. The risk is borne solely by the user.

Only use the radio-wave touch probe once it has been professionally installed into the finished machine and once the

compliance of the entire machine with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42 EC has been confirmed.

Correct use is also deemed to include reading the operating instructions as well as compliance with all information

contained in them – in particular the safety instructions. Furthermore, intended use is also deemed to include all

inspection and maintenance work being carried out at the stipulated intervals.

1.1.4 Declaration of Conformity

Declarations of Conformity can be requested as required. The contact information for this purpose is listed at the end

of these operating instructions.

1.1.5 FCC- / RSS-Declaration

 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules [and with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS

standard(s)].

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

 This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when

the device is operated in a commercial environment. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. Operation of this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

 The radiated output power of the device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the

device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is

minimized.

1.1.6 Validity

These operating instructions are valid for the hardware available at the date of creation of these operating

instructions. The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical modifications.

1.2 Purpose

The radio-wave touch probe IRP20.50 is used for workpiece measurement, and automatic determination and

compensation of deviating angular positions of workpieces. Moreover, it is used for setting zero points inside the

machine tool.

The radio-wave touch probe RWP20.50 is capable of measuring workpiece geometries, like edges, bores, pins, slots,

webs, angles, corners and circular arches. It is also suitable for measuring complex geometries, like three-

dimensional surfaces and for measurements involving picot axes.

In additional the radio-wave touch probe RWP20.50 can be used for measuring temperatures on workpiece surfaces.

Radio-wave transmission ensures that the measuring signals from the touch probe can be transmitted to the receiver

over large distances.
