PH20 - New 5-axis head for touch-trigger inspection

http://bit.ly/cxmO3x

New 5-axis head for touch-trigger inspection on CMMs gives up to three-fold increase in throughput.

Renishaw is introducing another innovative measurement product that is expected to transform inspection performance on a wide range of co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Utilising technology developed for the multi-award winning REVO® measurement system, the new PH20 probe head offers unique head touches for rapid touch-trigger measurement, and fast infinite 5-axis positioning to guarantee optimal feature access. Its compact design makes it suitable for new CMM purchases and as a retrofit to the vast majority of existing CMM touch-trigger installations.

At those speeds how accurate and whats the repeatability?

[RenishawEngineering]

@jeeplt1 The head touch technique used by PH20 results in improved accuracy and repeatability compared to conventional machine touches. Using PH20 head touches, the size error on a datum sphere, as measured using the ISO 10360-5 test method, reduces from around 0.0006 mm (PH20+TP20) to 0.0002 mm (CMM spec: 0.48 + L/1000, Stylus: 12 x 4 mm, STD force module).
