RCS P-series - Probing solutions for industrial automation
In-Process metrology for industrial automation
RCS P-series
Enhance your manufacturing capabilities with metrology enabled industrial automationÂ
RCS P-series probing solution, developed by Renishaw, applies metrology principles to your robot cell to enable in-process monitoring and automatic recovery. Multiple probe options are available based on the requirements of the cell, with radio, hard-wired or optical transmission available.
RCS P-series enables a number of advanced calibration and datum functions, customisable for any robot cell. All cell components calibrated in six degrees of freedom (DoF) relative to each other can be understood.
Permanently installed into the cell, the RCS P-series products are designed for in-process routines and recovery.
RCS P-series
A permanent probing solution to your robotic cell
Minimise downtime by automatically recovering after collisions and tracking trends in the cell over time.
Recover your cell with ease
Connect the digital and physical worlds using a simple alignment routine, reducing the need to reprogram.
Offline programming
Easily set-up a datum with the RCS Software Suite. Make probe installation accessible to robot users and system integrators.

The
RCS P-series bundle options
RCS P-series offers a range of probing options for your specific robotic cell requirements. The bundles offer hard-wired or wireless options, both with or without a toolsetter. All bundles include the RCS robot processing unit (RPU), an edge PC interfacing directly with the robot controller for probe calibration and metrology calculations.
Hard-wired bundle
Select the most straightforward probing bundle for when a wired probe suits your cell.
Radio bundleÂ
Integrate probing within industrial robotics using a radio (wireless) probe and receiver.
Optical bundle
For when your cell requires a wireless probing option and line of sight to a receiver is achievable.
Toolsetter onlyÂ
A toolsetter only bundle is used for when tool updates and broken tool detection are needed.

The RCS probing kits are built around both radio and hard-wired probe and tool setter solutions. When calibrated, the probing system allows you to create advanced datums and recovery sequences.
The dedicated RCS RPU enables improved accuracy utilising proven Renishaw expertise in geometry and machine calibration to locate tool and part frames within automated systems. This assists with set-up and recovery as well as compensating for short and long-term drifts.
