The AC1 PC card is a 12-bit interface card that is simple to install and connects directly to the standard probe cable. It performs all probe management functions and communicates status information to the host PC.
The AC1 has been superseded by the AC2.
The AC2 PC card interface supersedes the 12-bit AC1 card. It has additional capability of 16-bit resolution, Delta-Tau bus compatibility, and full PICS operation.
Renishaw's SP600 family of analogue scanning probes offers high-performance inspection, digitising and profile scanning capability for a wide range of CMMs.
The SCP600 is part of a flexible modular rack system that enables the user to define the number of stylus changing ports required and the size and spacing of the overall rack system. The individual SCP600s are fitted to the MRS rail (available in 400 mm, 600 mm or 1000 mm) at appropriate and easily adjustable spacing to suit the stylus arrangement required for the application.
