Product Description
The RMP60 inspection probe is the first to use frequency
hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transmission and offers
rapid part set-up and part verification on machining centres of
all sizes. It is paired with the RMI, a combined transmitter and
receiver unit.
The RMP60's unique transmission system does not have a
dedicated radio channel. Instead, the probe and receiver "hop"
together through a sequence of frequencies.
RMP60
