Radio touch probe.

Bringing "out of sight" precision to complex 3-D part measurement on machine tools, the new Renishaw RMP RMP right mentoposterior (position of the fetus). 600 touch probe combines two exclusive Renishaw technologies--highest accuracy strain-gage sensing and frequency-hopping spread-spectrum radio transmission. The design allows unmatched part checking precision on five-axis machining, contours Contours may mean:
