7.1Symptom Cause ActionProbe fails to power up (no LEDs illuminated or fails to indicate current probe settings).Exhausted batteries. Change batteries.Unsuitable batteries. Change batteries.Batteries inserted incorrectly. Check battery insertion.Batteries removed for too short a time and probe has not reset.Remove batteries for a minimum of 5 seconds.Probe fails to switch on. Exhausted batteries. Change batteries.Batteries inserted incorrectly. Check battery insertion.Probe out of range. Check position of RMI or RMI-Q, see operating envelope.No RMI or RMI-Q 'start/stop' signal (radio on mode only).Check RMI or RMI-Q for green start LED.Incorrect spin speed (spin switch on only).Check spin speed and duration.Malfunctioning shank switch (shank switch mode only).Check switch operation.Incorrect switch on method configured.Check configuration and alter as required.Incorrect multiple probe mode setting configured.Check configuration and alter as required.RMP60 in hibernation mode (radio on mode only).Ensure probe is in range and wait up to 30 seconds, then resend switch on signal. Check position of RMI or RMI-Q, see operating envelope.Fault findingDraft copy 09/07/12
RMP60 installation guide7.2Fault-findingSymptom Cause ActionMachine stops unexpectedly during a probing cycle. Radio link failure/RMP60 out of range.Check interface/receiver and remove obstruction.RMI or RMI-Q receiver/machine fault.Refer to receiver/machine user’s guide.Exhausted batteries. Change batteries.Probe unable to find target surface.Check that part is correctly positioned and that stylus has not broken.Stylus not given sufficient time to settle from a rapid deceleration.Add a short dwell before the probing move (length of dwell will depend on stylus length and rate of deceleration).False probe trigger. Enable enhanced trigger filter.Selection error for RMI-Q. Review interface error indication and correct.Probe crashes. Workpiece obstructing probe path. Review probing software.Probe length offset missing Review probing software.Draft copy 09/07/12
7.3Fault-findingSymptom Cause ActionPoor probe repeatability and/or accuracy.Debris on part or stylus. Clean part and stylus.Poor tool change repeatability. Redatum probe after each tool change.Loose probe mounting on shank or loose stylus.Check and tighten as appropriate.Calibration out of date and/or incorrect offsets.Review probing software.Calibration and probing speeds not the same.Review probing software.Calibration feature has moved. Correct position.Measurement occurs as stylus leaves surface.Review probing software.Measurement occurs within the machine’s acceleration and deceleration zone.Review probing software and probe filter settings.Probing speed too high or too slow.Perform simple repeatability trials at various speeds.Temperature variation causes machine and workpiece movement.Minimise temperature changes.Machine tool faulty. Perform health checks on machine tool.RMP60 status LEDs do not correspond to RMI or RMI-Q status LEDs.Radio link failure – RMP60 out of RMI or RMI-Q range.Check position of RMI or RMI-Q, see operating envelope.RMP60 has been enclosed/shielded by metal.Change batteries.RMP60 and RMI or RMI-Q are not partnered.Partner RMP60 and RMI or RMI-Q.Draft copy 09/07/12
RMP60 installation guide7.4Fault-findingSymptom Cause ActionRMI or RMI-Q error LED lit during probing cycle.Probe not switched on or probe timed out.Change setting. Review turn off method.Probe out of range. Check position of RMI or RMI-Q see operating envelope.RMI or RMI-Q low battery LED lit. Low batteries. Change batteries soon.Reduced range. Local radio interference. Identify and remove.Probe fails to switch off. Incorrect switch off method configured.Check configuration and alter as required.No RMI or RMI-Q 'start/stop' signal (radio on mode only).Check RMI or RMI-Q for green start LED.Probe in timeout mode and placed in tool magazine and is being triggered by movement.Use shorter timeout setting or use different switch off mode.Malfunctioning shank switch (shank switch mode only).Check switch operation.Incorrect spin speed (spin switch on only).Check spin speed.Level start used for M code on/off when the probe is set to radio on/timeout off.Change to a pulsed M code or change the probe to radio on/off.Probe goes into Trigger Logic™ configuration mode and cannot be reset.Probe was triggered when batteries were inserted.Do not touch the stylus or stylus mounting face during battery insertion.Draft copy 09/07/12
