Renishaw has developed a lightweight 30 mm diameter disc stylus (A-5003-7098) that will enable two-dimensional scanning with SM25-1 / 2 scanning modules. Alternatively a 12 mm diameter disc stylus (A-5000-3615) is available that can be used with SM25-1 / 2.
Test setup criteria
Test site | Renishaw UK |
|---|---|
Styli used | Renishaw's M3 stylus range |
CMM specification | U3 = 0.48 µm + L / 1000 |
CMM controller | Renishaw's UCC2 |
Probe calibration | Renishaw's third order polynomial calibration method |
Data filter used | Harmonic simple cut off order = 60 UPR (undulations per revolution) |
Artefacts used | Ø25 mm (nom) calibration sphere (for the ISO 10360 Part 2 / Part 4 tests) Ø50 mm (nom) ring gauge (for the ring gauge scan tests) |
Scanning speed | 5 mm/s (for the ISO 10360 Part 4 and ring gauge scan tests) |
Touch speed | 5 mm/s (for the ISO 10360 Part 2 tests) |
Back off speed | 1 mm/s (for the ISO 10360 Part 2 tests) |
Bi-directional scans | The effect of probe misalignment and contact friction will result in radius changes with scanning direction if a suitable calibration procedure is not used. Mechanical hysteresis within a probe mechanism is best demonstrated by a bi-directional scan. Therefore, Renishaw have decided to take the high integrity approach of quoting ring gauge metrology using bi-directional scan data to demonstrate the performance of the Renishaw probe and calibration method. |
