1DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
1.1.1 Preface
It is imperative that the safety information contained in these operating instructions is strictly
observed to guarantee the safe and reliable operation of the touch probe and avoid personal
injury and damage to property. The meaning of the symbols related to the safety instructions
is described in the table below
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates important information that, if not observed, could
lead to property damage / malfunctions.
INFORMATION
INFORMATION indicates important information or helpful advice for
working with the described device.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions
NOTICE
Risk of material damage!
Manual or automatic positioning of the probe must be protected, in a way that the machine
axis stops feeding if the probe is triggered during its move to the position where actual
measuring should begin!
NOTICE
Risk of material damage!
Feedhold or spindle-stop resulting from a trigger or ready signal from a touch probe should
only happen if the probe is actually in the spindle. This security logic will protect the ma-
chine against a possible spindle or feeding stop under normal milling operation if a signal
from a probe reaches the control under one of the conditions outlined below:
Battery replacement and subsequent functional check of the touch probe by manually
switching it on.
NOTICE
Risk of property damage!
Only the original spare parts listed in these operating instructions are permitted for preven-
tive and correctional maintenance.
INFORMATION
The information given in this manual can be changed by the manufacturer at any time.
The user is therefore responsible for regularly enquiring about updated information.

1.1.3 Declaration of Conformity
The EC Declaration of Conformity can be found at the end of these operating instructions.
If required, a copy of the signed original declaration of conformity may be requested from
the address given on the back cover.
1.1.4 Validity
These operating instructions are valid for the hardware available at the creation date of these
operating instructions. Technical changes by the manufacturer are reserved. The latest version
of these operating instructions can be downloaded at www.mh-inprocess.com under Down-
loads.
1.2 Purpose
The infrared touch probe IRP40.02 is used for workpiece measurement, and automatic deter-
mination and compensation of deviating angular positions of workpieces. Moreover, it is used
for setting zero points inside the machine tool.
The infrared touch probe IRP40.02 is capable of measuring workpiece geometries like edges,
bores, bosses, slots, webs, angles, corners and circular arches. Furthermore, it allows measur-
ing of complex geometries like 3-dimensional surfaces and measuring with swivelled 4th and
5th axis.
The measurement signals from the touch probe are transmitted to the receiver via infrared
transmission.
1.3 System Components
The components of the system are illustrated in figure below.

Shanks THERMO-LOCK®(patented)
INFORMATION
Patented THERMO-LOCK®Technology prevents thermal expansion of the HSK and heat
transfer from the spindle to the probe. This ensures that the probe delivers stable, precise re-
sults even for large temperature differences between the spindle and the HSK.
