SP25M - the world’s most compact and versatile scanning syste - 1

Renishaw plc New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, GL12 8JR United Kingdom SP25M - the world’s most compact and versatile scanning system The SP25 family 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. The SP25M’s compact size and autojoint mounting makes it compatible with PH10M, PH10MQ and PH6M probe heads. It can also be mounted on an extension bar, providing excellent reach and access to part features. Five scanning modules feature a pivoting design which delivers exceptional dynamic performance and optimised high accuracy performance over the entire stylus range from 20 to 400 mm effective working length (EWL). This avoids most of the performance loss seen in other scanning probes as stylus length increases. A range of stylus holders (SH25-2A/3A/4A) is now available to offer improved crank/non-straight stylus carrying on the existing module range. For superior performance with crank/star/non-straight styli the use of the new SM25-5 module and SH25-5 stylus holder, based upon Renishaw’s SP600 and SP80 scanning technology, is recommended. Module and stylus changing is enabled using the FCR25 flexible change rack, which can be located either on the CMM bed, or in Renishaw’s MRS modular rack system. Excellent part accessibility At just 25 mm (0.97 in) diameter, the SP25M is small and light, making it ideally suited to mounting on articulating heads and on extensions of up to 100 mm (3.94 in). Thus a total reach of some 600 mm (23.62 in) is possible. However, it is also sufficiently compact to suit very small CMMs and multisensor machines. Isolated optical metrology A pivoting mechanism and isolated optical metrology system directly measures each axis of probe deflection. This avoids errors generated in stacked measurement axes, as used in ‘tower’ scanning probes. Modularity to allow unrivalled flexibility The SP25M system allows the user to configure a basic installation which can be readily expanded at any time. Five scanning modules provide optimal performance across a range of stylus lengths Each scanning module has a spring rate and gain optimised for a range of stylus lengths. SP25M measures accurately with styli up to 400 mm (15.74 in) long. Two sensors in one - scanning and touch-trigger SP25M allows the user to always select the most suitable measurement solution to match the application, either scanning or touch-trigger. Now you can efficiently do both with a single probe system! 3rd order polynomial calibration Renishaw has developed sophisticated calibration methods for its range of scanning probes to ensure maximised performance.
