SP80 ultra-high accuracy scanning probe - 1

Renishaw plc New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, GL12 8JR United Kingdom SP80 ultra-high accuracy scanning probe Class leading performance with flexible use of styli The SP80 is a quill-mounted scanning probe that uses digital scale and readhead technology, plus Renishaw’s innovative isolated optical metrology principles, to provide exceptional scanning performance, even with long styli. The digital scale and readheads with 0.02 µm resolution enable exceptional scanning performance with up to 1000 mm long and 500 g mass styli, including star configurations. The SP80 has a kinematic mount that offers a repeatable connection to the mating plate mounted on the quill (KM80), allowing the probe to be removed easily. Unbalanced star configurations do not require counterbalancing and the kinematic stylus changing allows for repeatable relocation of the stylus, optimising stylus arrangements for each feature, and overcoming the need for requalification. Using an isolated optical metrology system that measures the deflection of the whole mechanism, the SP80 provides accurate position sensing without stacked axis errors. Additionally, kinematic stylus holders provide crash protection in the XY plane, and a bump stop prevents damage to the probe in the Z-axis. Key benefits Long stylus carrying capability - with high accuracy The combination of long stylus reach with maintained high accuracy performance makes SP80 the first choice scanning probe for many applications. Rapid stylus interchange Interchange of the stylus holders (SH80) can be automated for optimised productivity by using a rack system and stylus change ports (SCP80) mounted to Renishaw’s modular rack system. Low cost of ownership SP80’s system modularity enables expansion as required. Robust design promotes long working life but should anything go wrong, Renishaw’s rapid service / exchange program minimises downtime. Horizontal mounting option - SP80H A horizontal mounting option is also available. Innovations Isolated optical metrology SP80 directly measures the deflection of the whole mechanism, which provides outstandingly accurate position sensing. The isolated optical metrology system can detect sources of variable error such as thermal and dynamic effects. By contrast, probes with displacement sensors mounted to stacked axes suffer from increased dynamic

SP80 performance The plot below illustrates SP80’s remarkable high accuracy scanning performance with increasing stylus lengths. 6.00 6.0 5.50 5.5 Scan speed = 5 mm/s (except on 1000 mm stylus where scan speed = 2 mm/s) Isolated optical metrology Isolated optical metrology can be explained as a feature of the transducer system. The readheads for each axis are fixed to the body of the probe, and measure the deflection in each direction. Any inter-axis movement caused by the arc motion of each pair of parallel-acting springs is directly measured by the sensor system. The squareness and...
