The battery powered MP10 has two modes of operation. For applications where
1. Stand-by mode the stylus stem must be
To conserve battery life the probe is held in the stand-by parallel with the
mode, until the CNC control sends a start signal via the spindle centre line
OMM or OMI, to the OMP receiving diodes (Rx).
The start signal switches the probe to the operating mode.
2. Operating mode
During the operating mode, probe signals are transmitted
through 360° from the OMP transmitting LED's (Tx), to the
OMM or OMI for onward transmission to the CNC control. OMP

PROBE SWITCH-ON
The probe is switched-on by one of the following options. Battery Transmitting LED

Initiated by an M code generated by the program.
3. Auto start Probe head
(system with OMM + MI 12 or system with OMI)
Initiated by auto start signal sent every second. Stylus spring Weak link
PROBE SWITCH-OFF pressure adjustment
(optional)
The probe is switched-off by one of the following options.
1. Optical-on / timer-out (factory set to this option)
A timer automatically returns the probe to stand-by if the
probe has not been used for 33 seconds or 134 seconds Stylus
(factory set to 134 seconds).
2. Optical-on / optical-off
A second start signal is generated by a software M code,
which switches the probe off after 5 seconds or 9 seconds Shank manufacturing details
