Xspect Renishaw PH20
5-Axis Probe Head
The 5-axis technology originally
developed for the REVO measurement system is now availlable for touch-trigger
applications. By minimising CMM structure movement through the use of unique
'head touches' , both CMM accuracy and throughput are improved. Using the
extremely rapid rotary motion of the PH20 5-Axis probe head, points can be taken
faster, with improved accuracy and repeatability.
Typical speed increases can result in a 3-fold reduction in cycle time!
Access features at any angle
The 5-axis infinite positioning of the PH20 assures optimal
access to features , minimizing time consuming stylus changes and at the same
time improving accuracy.
The simultaneous 5-axis motion permits the measurement of
larger parts within the same machine volume as the PH20 can be infinitely
indexed while in motion, thus reducing the colume required for head rotation.
Reduced calibration time
 The 5-axis Rensihaw PH20 makes use of specially developed 'inferred calibration'.
Both the head orientation and the probe position are determined in a simultaneous operation allowig subsequent measurement using any head orientation.
Only a few touches of the qualification sphere are required to perform a calibration.
If additional accuracy is required, the PH20 can be calibrated in the individual orientation required for a particular measuirement routine.
Over a period of time and numerous calibrations, the time savings over conventional probe calibrations can be quite substantial.
TP20 Touch Probe
The 5-axis Rensihaw PH20 makes use an integral TP20 touch-trigger probe. If you are already making use of the industry
standard TP20 line of probing equipment, simply continue using it on the PH20. A
wide array of modules are available for the TP20 and thus the PH20 to provide a
selection of triggering forces, extensions, and directional sensing options. The
detatchable TP20 modules can make use of the MCR20 change rack for automated
stylus changes.
Improved metrology
-
Repeatability is improved when using the 'head touch' measurement method
-
Accuracy is improved by using 'head touches' and by using feature based calibrration
-
Automatic tip offset correction is applied to module changing
Innovations and features
-
UCC compatability ensures that the PH20 ca be used with Renishaw's UCC family to
provide a host of retrofit solutions. The I++ communication of the UCC controller permits the use of a wide variety of CMM software
-
Synchonized motion between the PH20 head and the CMM ensures rapid 5-axis moves.
-
Accuracy, repeatability and throughput are all improved using 'head touxhes'.
The CMM is stationary while the head rapidly moves and takes touch points.
-
The integral TP20 probe allows use of existing industry standard TP20 equipment
-
The compact design of the PH20 does not consume a great amount of volume and can easily rotate into a feature saving precious volume.
