REVO-2 calibration

System calibration

The REVO-2 datum sphere is used to calibrate the REVO-2 head as well as RSP2 and RSP3-x probe configurations.

The SFP2 is calibrated using the SFA that is fixed to the MRS rail.

For the minimum required CMM volume please refer to the table and diagram below:
