SP25M scanning probe system

SP25M scanning probe - a compact and versatile scanning system

SP25 on engine block
  • The world's most compact and versatile scanning probe system
  • Two sensors in one - a scanning probe and a touch-trigger probe using TP20 stylus modules
  • Rapid and repeatable automatic interchange between modular elements
  • Excellent scanning accuracy across an M3 stylus range of 20 mm to 400 mm (0.79 in to 15.75 in)
  • Low cost, entry-level kits available which can easily be expanded
  • Isolated optical metrology technology gives unrivalled measurement performance, even with long styli
  • Compatible with PH10M PLUS / PH10MQ PLUS articulating probe probe heads allowing access to many features with fewer styli
  • Ultra compact system at Ø25 mm (Ø0.98 in) for superior part accessibility
  • Compatible with probe extensions bars up to 100 mm long
  • Flexible change rack where ports can be easily configured to carry any system element
  • Bump-stop crash protection in the Z-axis, together with a detachable stylus holder for XY
    crash protection

SP25M videos

This movie clip shows the great flexibility of the SP25M system. Having just been used in touch-trigger mode, the probe moves to the compact, modular changing rack and stows the TP20 stylus module. It then stows the touch-trigger probe module and picks up the SM25-1 scanning module and SH25-1 stylus holder.

Effective stylus length range

(Always observe the specified stylus range for the scanning module being used. Use Renishaw's M3 range of styli)

SM25-1 + SH25-1 = EWL 20 mm - 50 mm (0.79 in - 1.97 in) using 20 mm - 50 mm stylus range

SM25-2 + SH25-2 / SH25-2A = EWL 50 mm - 105 mm (1.97 in - 4.14 in) using 20 mm - 75 mm stylus

SM25-3 + SH25-3 / SH25-3A = EWL 120 mm - 200 mm (4.73 in - 7.88 in) using 20 mm - 100 mm stylus

SM25-4 + SH25-4 / SH25-4A = EWL 220 mm - 400 mm (8.67 in - 15.75 in) using 20 mm - 200 mm stylus

SM25-5 + SH25-5 = EWL 20 mm - 100 mm (0.79 in - 3.94 in) using 20 mm - 100 mm stylus

Mounting

Multiwired autojoint - compatible with PH10M PLUS / PH10MQ PLUS and PH6M probe heads, extension bars and ACR1 / ACR3 sensor changers

Crash protection

 

±X, ±Y, -Z

Via break out of module or stylus holder

+Z

Via integral bump-stop design

Signal outputs

Non-linear and non-orthogonal analogue outputs - rate gain and resolution are not fixed

Power supply

+12 V (±5%), -12 V (+10% / +8%), +5% (+10% / -13%) dc at probe

Probe calibration

Requires that non-linear, third order polynomial calibration method is used
