Renishaw OMP400
1. Product Overview
The Renishaw OMP400 (Part No. A-5069-0001) is an ultra-compact infrared optical machine touch probe integrating patented RENGAGE™ strain gauge measurement technology, designed for small-to-medium vertical machining centres, compact 5-axis mills and mill-turn multi-tasking CNC machines. It combines the mini 40mm footprint of OMP40-2 with sub-micron high precision comparable to premium MP700 probes, delivering ultra-low pre-travel variation, excellent 3D contour measurement performance and outstanding long-term durability. Ideal for precision mold, aerospace, automotive and medical component on-machine inspection, workpiece setting and in-process dimensional verification. It maintains full backward compatibility with all legacy Renishaw optical receiver systems for simple machine retrofits.
