Maintenance
You may undertake the maintenance routines
described in this handbook.
The probe is a precision tool and must be
handled with care.
Further dismantling and repair of Renishaw
equipment is a highly specialised operation,
which must be carried out at authorised Renishaw
service centres.
Equipment requiring repair, overhaul or attention
under warranty should be returned to your
supplier.

Ensure the probe is firmly secured to its
mounting.
The probe requires minimal maintenance as it is
designed to operate as a permanent fixture on
CNC machining centres, where it is subject to a
hot chip and coolant environment.
• Do not allow excessive waste material to
build up around the probe.
• Keep all electrical connections clean.
• The probe mechanism is protected by an
outer metal eyelid seal and an inner flexible
diaphragm seal.
Approximately once a month, inspect the
probe inner diaphragm seal. If it is pierced or
damaged, return the probe to your supplier
for repair.
