I purchased a 2002 VTC-200C several months ago, its an awesome machine for a price i couldnt pass up. The only downer is the machine did not have a probe in it. Mazak quoted me at 15k to install one and renishaw 11K. Ridiculous for the age of the machine and and how much i paid for it. I installed a brand new probe setup for 10% of what i was quoted.

I called mazak, renishaw, and mitsubishi for help on how to install a probe. all three sources couldnt help me even when i presented the laughable question "what would you do if i hired you to install a probe", silence.LMAO

enough back story. I know how to do this...I have it working on the mazatrol size of the control. I could run it on the eia side if i purchased inspection plus from renishaw. I had to buy a large number of the connectors and pins to make the cables up, I figured out the control side of it to make it work. There is a surplus of renishaw gear to be had on ebay for good prices. I have less than $1500 invested in my brand new MP700 system with a OMI receiver.

You will need a Renishaw MI12 or OMI reciever and a probe to match it (MP700 ETC)


PM me if you need help. I have extra connectors and schematics available.
