Renishaw interface on CMM motion control card
The Deva 004 motion control card, targeted at the co-ordinate measurement machine market, incorporates an interface for Renishaw's touch-probes compatible with models such as the TP20 and TP6.
The Deva 023 has a 15-way D-type connector at one end, which is pin compatible with the existing reader head.
The other end of the module has a high-density 15-way D-type connector that mates directly with the Deva 018 interpolator without the need for custom cabling.
The module incorporates four trim pots which are used to scale and offset the sinewave signals in the same way as found on existing equipment.
The trim pots may be linked out if they are duplicated on the existing cable.
This unique unit is available as a single item or as part of a specially priced retrofit package, which typically includes the Deva 001 manual CMM controller, three 018-1SIN sinewave interpolators and three 023-1SIN-BS1s.
