Renishaw A-5687-0050 Radio Interface Module with Cable

Product Description

The RENISHAW A-5687-0050 is a Radio Machine Interface (RMI-Q) module designed to enable wireless communication between Renishaw radio tool-setting and workpiece probing systems and a CNC machine controller. The unit ships with a 15-meter cable and operates on a wide-range DC supply of 12 to 30 volts, making it adaptable to a variety of machine tool electrical architectures. Licensed CNC service technicians and machine tool engineers install this module as part of a probing system integration project, connecting the receiver to the machine control cabinet and routing the included cable to the appropriate interface points.

The A-5687-0050 is intended for use with CNC lathes, CNC machining centers, and CNC milling machines equipped with Renishaw radio probing systems. It serves as the fixed receiver side of the wireless link, receiving signals from a radio-transmitting probe or tool setter mounted in the work envelope. This makes it well suited to high-production environments where frequent manual cable connections are impractical and where reliable, interference-resistant signal transmission is required for automated measurement cycles.

Key Features

• RMI-Q Radio Machine Interface design for wireless probe-to-controller communication
• Wide-input DC voltage range of 12 to 30 volts accommodates diverse machine tool power supplies
• Includes a 15-meter cable for routing from the receiver to the machine control interface
• Compatible with CNC lathes, CNC machining centers, and CNC milling machines
• Packaged as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with CNC lathes, CNC machining centers, and CNC milling machines that are equipped with compatible Renishaw radio probing or tool-setting systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC service technician or machine tool engineer familiar with machine control cabinet wiring. Power down the machine and isolate the control cabinet before making any electrical connections. Route the included cable clear of high-voltage lines and moving machine components to prevent signal interference and physical damage. Refer to the Renishaw installation documentation for interface wiring details specific to the connected controller type.
