Renishaw Calibration 5 Axis - The calibrator is a Renishaw model APCA45 equipped with a modified spherical stilus. The device includes a retractable lid and an air purge to remove debris and dust during activation. It mounts to the swing arm, which is controlled by the pneumatic rotary.
Z-Reader Probe- The Z-Reader probe is used to map the surface. You can control it manually or programmatically. It is not active during cutting and can be retracted to keep it out of harm's path. You can trigger it to check the surface at each pierce before cutting begins. Or, you could use it to drive the surface mapping of the entire part. It starts with the initialization of the device to the surface at program start. The difference is then accumulated or tracked.
