SCP80 / SCP80V stylus change port
Stylus change port for use with SP80 stylus holders
Used for automatic changing between stylus holders
- SCP80 is for use with the SP80 probe and is mounted to the modular rack system (MRS)
- SCP80V is for use with the SP80H probe and is for a vertically mounted rack (not supplied by Renishaw) - it provides a a higher force for the return forks when in a vertical orientation
- The SCP80V can also be used with SP80 when using long styli that extend through the rear of the port, to ensure that the port returns to its home position
SCP80V
- SCP80V is for use with the SP80H probe and is for a vertically mounted rack (not supplied by Renishaw). It provides a a higher force for the return forks when in a vertical orientation
- The SCP80V can also be used with SP80 when using long styli that extend through the rear of the port, to ensure that the port returns to its home position
- No electrical connections required and fits into any standard extrusion
- Has a spring-loaded mechanism that is designed to ease the stylus holder away from the probe body to reduce the pull-off force to less than 20 N during the change cycle

Due to the different spring mechanism, the SCP80V should be used with SP80 to allow styli to point to the rear of the port when mounted horizontally on the MRS / MRS2 rail.
