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.
This animation shows the internal working principles of the SP25M in use on the dental scanning machine.

Flyer: SP25M compact scanning probe system
New additions to the SP25 family enhance the range of applications The SP25M is two sensors in one, and has unrivalled flexibility due to the system’s modularity. Users can scan for form, position, and size but also take high accuracy discrete points by using a dedicated scanning module or, alternatively, use an adaptor to carry Renishaw’s TP20 range of touch‑trigger probe modules.
Installation and user's guides

Installation guide: SP25M
This document is intended as a guide to initial installation and integration of the Renishaw SP25M analogue scanning/measurement probe system.
-
User guide: SP25M, FCR25, ACR3 system
Renishaw’s innovative SP25M is the world’s most compact and versatile scanning probe system and is actually two sensors in one - enabling the user to scan for form measurement or reverse engineering and as a touch-trigger probe (TTP) for geometric size and position measurement.
Case studies

Case study: Eponsa - “Equator™ could reduce waiting time to zero, it can gauge difficult features and the price is very competitive”
Eponsa, a manufacturer of automotive components located near Barcelona, Spain, has purchased a versatile and innovative shop-floor comparative gauge, the new Renishaw Equator, to check the quality of stamped parts and assemblies. This will reduce non-productive waiting times to a fraction of the time taken now, while maintaining the high quality and manufacturing efficiencies that are critical for the success of an automotive subcontractor. Other advantages for Eponsa are that Equator can scan the form of part features with its SP25 probe and change styli with the stylus change rack, included as standard, to check a large variety of parts.
