Safety
Before unpacking and installing the RVP system, the user should carefully read the safety instructions below and ensure that they are followed
at all times by all operators.
The RVP vision probe system should only be used with the REVO-2 head.
Operators must be trained in the use and application of the REVO-2 system and accompanying products, in the context of the machine it is
fitted to, before being allowed to operate that machine.
Permanent magnets are used in some components of the REVO-2 system and associated products. It is important to keep them away from
items which may be affected by magnetic fields, e.g. data storage systems, pacemakers and watches.
VM10 and VM11 LED emissions
The VM10 and VM11 vision modules incorporate high power LED lights and should not be used in the event of serious damage to any part of
the VM10 and VM11 modules. In such cases immediately disconnect the power source, remove and do not attempt to reuse the parts. Contact
your supplier for advice.
CAUTION: This equipment uses LED illumination that may flash at a variable rate. Avoid exposure or seek advice from your
medical practitioner if you are susceptible to photosensitivity or related health effects.

System description
RVP is a non-contact vision measurement probe for use with the REVO-2 5-axis measurement system on co-ordinate measuring machines.
RVP increases the multi-sensor capability of REVO-2 by adding non-contact inspection to the existing touch-trigger, high-speed tactile
scanning and surface finish capability of the system.
The RVP system comprises a probe and a range of modules that are automatically interchangeable with all other probe options available for
REVO. This flexibility means that the optimum tool can be selected to inspect a wide range of features, all on one CMM platform.
The RVP system is managed by the same I++ DME compliant interface as REVO-2 and full user functionality is provided by Renishaw's
MODUS metrology software. New MODUS vision software capability includes RVP configuration, image processing with application specific
options and automatic image storage for review and further analysis.

Design principles of the RVP system
The RVP system uses an industry standard CMOS image sensor to capture and then detect the position of features using the contrast between
light and dark areas of the image. Data points are projected on to the location where the image contrast changes from light to dark. A detailed
calibration model of the lens system transforms the co-ordinates of the projected point on the image to real-world, three dimensional co-
ordinates on the part.
