1-3Preliminary information
Warranty
Equipment requiring attention under warranty
must be returned to your equipment supplier.
Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing
between you and Renishaw, if you purchased
the equipment from a Renishaw company the
warranty provisions contained in Renishaw’s
CONDITIONS OF SALE apply. You should consult
these conditions in order to find out the details of
your warranty but in summary the main exclusions
from the warranty are if the equipment has been:
• neglected,mishandledorinappropriately
used; or
• modiedoralteredinanywayexceptwiththe
prior written agreement of Renishaw.
If you purchased the equipment from any other
supplier, you should contact them to find out what
repairs are covered by their warranty.
Changes to equipment
Renishaw reserve the right to change
specifications without obligation to change
equipment previously sold.
CNC machine
CNC machine tools must always be operated by
competent persons in accordance with
manufacturers instructions.
Care of the probe
Keep system components clean and treat the
probe as a precision tool.

1-4 Preliminary information
WEEE DIRECTIVE
The use of this symbol on Renishaw products and/or
accompanying documentation indicates that the product
should not be mixed with general household waste
upon disposal. It is the responsibility of the end user to
dispose of this product at a designated collection point
for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
to enable reuse or recycling. Correct disposal of this
product will help to save valuable resources and prevent
potential negative effects on the environment. For more
information, please contact your local waste disposal
service or Renishaw distributor.

1-5Safety
Information for the user
In all applications involving the use of machine
tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
Refer to the machine supplier’s operating
instructions.
The TS34 system must be installed by a
competent person, observing relevant safety
precautions. Before starting work, ensure that the
machine tool is in a safe condition with the power
switched OFF and the power supply to the HSI
disconnected.
Information for the machine supplier
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to ensure
that the user is made aware of any hazards
involved in operation, including those mentioned in
Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure
that adequate guards and safety interlocks are
provided.
Under certain circumstances the probe signal
may falsely indicate a probe seated condition. Do
not rely on probe signals to stop the machines
movement.

1-7TS34 probe system (continued)
Introduction
The TS34 probe is used for tool setting on CNC
machining centres and is available as a rear or
side exit version.
For tool length measurements and broken tool
detection, the tool is driven against the probe’s
stylus in the Z axis. Rotating tools can be set in X
and Y axes for tool radius offsets.
Screw adjusters allow the stylus to be aligned with
the machine’s axes.
An interface unit processes signals between the
probe and the CNC control.

1-8 Operation
Achievable set-up tolerances
The tolerances to which tools can be set depend
upon the flatness and parallelism of the stylus tip
setting. A value of 5 µm (0.0002 in) front to back
and side to side is easily achievable over the flat
portion of the stylus tip, and 5 µm (0.0002 in)
parallelism is easily achievable with the axes of a
square tip stylus. This setting accuracy is sufficient
for the majority of tool setting applications.
Recommended rotating tool feedrates
Cutters should be rotated in reverse to the cutting
direction.
First touch – machine spindle rev/min
Rev/min for the first move against the probe stylus
is calculated from a surface cutting speed of
60 m/min (197 ft/min).
Spindle speed should be maintained within the
range 150 rev/min to 800 rev/min and relates
to cutters of Ø24 mm to Ø127 mm (Ø0.95 in to
Ø5.0 in).
The surface cutting speed is not maintained if
cutters smaller than Ø24 mm (Ø0.95) or larger
than Ø127 mm (Ø5.0 in) are used.
First touch – machine feedrate
The feedrate (f) is calculated as follows:
f = 0.16 × rev/min f units mm/min (diameter set)
f = 0.12 × rev/min f units mm/min (length set)
Second touch – machine feedrate
800 rev/min, 4 mm/min (0.16 in/min) feedrate.
Software routines
Software routines for tool setting are available
from Renishaw for various machine controllers
and are described in data sheet H-2000-2289.
