Primo Radio Part Setter and Radio 3D Tool
Setter basics
2.1
Introduction
Credit
When used within a system:
•
•
The Radio Part Setter enables part setup
and inspection on machining centres.
The Radio 3D Tool Setter enables broken
tool detection and tool setting
(length/diameter).
Primo Radio Part Setter and Radio 3D Tool Setter;
•
Deliver interference-tolerant radio
transmission through the use of the FHSS
(Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).
o Allows multiple systems to work
in the same machine shop
without interference.
o Using radio transmission enables
non line-of-sight operation.
The Primo system requires credit to function;
•
•
Credit is in the form of a Primo credit
token.
This is inserted into the Radio Part Setter
which then transfers the credit to the
Primo Interface. Section 5.29.
Modes of operation
Standby mode
Operational mode
Getting started
The Primo Radio Part Setter and Radio 3D Tool
Setter have LEDs to provide visual indication of
their status as well as overall system status.
•
Acquisition mode
See section 5.21 for an LED guide.
Credit transfer mode
(Radio Part Setter
only)
The equipment is waiting
for a switch on signal and
the Interface is waiting to
send a switch on signal
after receiving a signal
from the machine tool.
Activated by a switch on
signal from the Interface
or a Spin. The equipment
is ready for use.
Used to configure the
partnering of the Primo
Radio Part Setter and
Radio 3D Tool Setter with
the Interface. The
acquisition method is
described in section 5.28.
Used to transfer credit
from the Radio Part Setter
to the Interface. Section

(Radio Part Setter only)
The enhanced trigger filter improves the
equipments’ resistance to triggering and
triggering without contacting a surface.
When the Primo Radio Part Setter or 3D
Tool Setter are in standby and the Primo
Interface is powered off or out of range,
the equipment enters hibernation; a low
power mode. The Part Setter or 3D Tool
Setter ‘wake’ from hibernation to
periodically check for their partnered
Interface. The ‘wake up’ frequency is
sent every 30 seconds when hibernation
is activated.

Acquisition mode
The partnering of the Primo Radio Part Setter or
Radio 3D Tool Setter and the Interface described in
section 5.28.
Enhanced trigger filter
When the filter is enabled a constant 10 ms filter
delay is introduced to the equipment output.
•
It may be necessary to reduce the Radio
Part Setters approach speed to allow for
the increased stylus overtravel during the
extended time delay.
Re-calibration
If settings are changed via the Interface switches,
it is vital that the equipment is re-calibrated; See
sections 5.17 – 5.20.
NOTE:
To enter the Interface into acquisition mode,
Renikey or a power cycle will need to be used.
Locate the Renikey manual before starting the
partnership process. See 3.1.
Partnering is required during initial system set up
or if the Radio Part Setter turn on method had
changed.
•
•
Partnering will not be lost by
reconfiguration of the equipment settings
or when changing batteries.
Partnering can take place anywhere
within the performance envelope
(section 5.2).
Primo credit token
Primo credit token contains the credit that allows
the Primo probing system to function.
The Primo system will not work without credit
being available in the system.
Four low
credit indicators
1. Equipment LEDs
When any of these low
credit indicators are shown
it is recommended that a
new Primo Credit Token is
loaded into the system.
Flashing
The standard Primo credit token contains 6
months worth of credit.
2.3
Upgrade credit token
Another credit token available is the Upgrade
token; this allows the Primo system to work for an
unlimited period.
Credit transfer
2. Interface low battery/credit LED
Credit is loaded into the Primo System by
transferring Credit from the Credit token and into
the Primo Interface. See section 5.29.
Constant
3. Interface digital display (123 days remaining
shown). When the remaining credit display reads 0
days then the Primo System will stop working and
new credit will need to be loaded into the system.
NOTE:
How to purchase credit:
A new 6 month credit token, or an Upgrade credit
token can be purchased from the Primo website
www.primoprobing.com.
You can also contact your local Renishaw supplier.
See www.renishaw.com/contact.

machining by measuring the length and diameter
of tools using the same highly accurate and
repeatable switch mechanism has the Primo Radio
Part Setter.
•
•
•
The Radio Part Setter can measure in the
X, Y and Z axis.
The Primo Radio Part Setter can be used
for work co-ordinate setting and for work
piece measurement.
A trigger signal is sent directly to the CNC
controller so that offsets can be updated
– no manual intervention is required.
•
•
The tool is set in the Z axis for tool length
measurement and broken tool detection.
Rotating tools are set in the X and Y axes
for tool radius measurement.
Software routines
Primo Software caters for 3-axis applications and
covers basic probing routines.

Primo Interface basics
3.1
Introduction
The Primo Interface enables communication
between the Machine Tool, Radio Part Setter and
the Radio 3D Tool Setter using radio frequencies.
Power supply
The Interface requires a 12 Vdc to 30 Vdc supply
capable of supplying 150 mA minimum (TBC).
Input voltage ripple
The input voltage ripple must not cause the
voltage to fall below 12 V or go above 30 V.
ReniKey
Renikey is a Renishaw machine programme which
is used while partnering the equipment with the
Interface. Refer to the ReniKey programming
manual for instructions on how to use ReniKey or
refer to www.renishaw.com.
Note:
If the Primo System is using a Primo Upgrade
Credit Token and the Primo Interface is returned
to Renishaw then the Primo Upgrade Credit
Token must be returned with the interface for
identification purposes.

12 to 30 Vdc
Part Setter toggles from being
switched on/off. Minimum pulse width
is 10 ms.
See section 5.14 for the full wiring diagram.
Interface outputs
There are four SSR outputs:
Note:
•
•
•
•
Probe status 1
Probe status 2
Error
Low battery/credit
All outputs can be inverted by using switches SW1
and SW2 (see section 3.5 for more info).
SSR outputs specifications:
•
Maximum ‘on’ resistance = 25 ohm
•
Maximum load voltage = 30 V
•
Maximum load current = 100 mA
The term ‘Probe Status’ refers to the
measurement hardware in the system
interacting with the interface and can
therefore refer to the Primo Radio Part
Setter and the Primo Radio 3D Tool
Setter.

The stylus trigger force is the force exerted on the
component when the probe triggers. However, the
maximum force applied to the component will occur
after the trigger point and will be greater than the
trigger force. The magnitude depends on a number of
factors affecting probe overtravel including
measuring speed and machine deceleration. If the
forces applied to the component are critical, contact
Renishaw for further information.

Primo Radio
3D Tool Setter
Operating envelope
To ensure unrestricted transmission performance:
Radio transmission does not require line-of-sight
and will pass through small gaps and machine tool
windows, providing a reflected path (of less than
10 m (49.2 ft)) is available.
Keep all Primo System components within the
performance envelope (section 5.2).
Ensure the Interface signal LED stays close to green.
Green represents excellent signal, yellow represents
reduced signal (section 5.28).
Signal strength LED
The signal LED on the Primo Interface indicates the number of
missed communications with the equipment. The LED shows
with Green to Amber the number of missed communications.
When communication fails the LED goes out.
The system will continue to perform 100% effectively as long
as there is signal.
0% missed
50%
100%
Do not allow coolant and swarf residue to
accumulate on the equipment.
Regularly wipe clean the Part Setter Body and the
3D Tool Setter window.
Reduction in transmission range may result when
operating in temperatures 0 ˚C to +5 ˚C (+32 ˚F to
+41 ˚F) and +55 ˚C to +60 ˚C (+122 ˚F to +140 ˚F).
Avoid these temperature ranges if possible.

A cable sealing gland prevents coolant and dirt
from entering the Interface.
The Interface cable can be further protected by a
flexible conduit.
Fitting flexible conduit
The recommended flexible conduit is Anamet
Sealtite HFX (5/16 in) Polyurethane.
TM
1. Slide nut B and plastic olive onto the
Conduit.
2. Screw conduit termination piece into end of
the conduit.
3. Fit conduit to adaptor A and tighten nut B.
CAUTIONS:
Failure to protect the cable can result in system
failure due to either cable damage or coolant
ingress through cores into the Interface.
Failure due to inadequate cable protection will
invalidate the warranty.

Why calibrate?
The Primo system has a built in software routine. This calibration process is described in section 5.18.
Before the equipment is used it is very important that the Radio Part Setter and 3D Tool Setter are calibrated
correctly.
Calibration of the equipment allows software to compensate for possible errors in the measurements.
•
This can be caused by the difference between the position that the stylus touches and the position
reported to the machine.
Calibrate:
•
•
•
•
•
•
when a Primo system is to be used for the first time
at regular intervals as maintenance
when a new stylus is fitted to the probe
when the stylus has become distorted or the equipment has crashed
when equipment settings are changed
If repeatability of relocation of the probe shank is poor
o In this case, the probe may need to be recalibrated each time it is selected
Traditional calibration methods should still be used when:
•
•
•
•
when using a non standard stylus;
when only one piece of equipment is installed in the machine;
when high accuracy is required (<10 µm);
When working in a 4 or 5 axis machine.
The Primo System Calibration Software routines and Traditional Calibration methods are described in the
Primo Programming Guide.
