PH10M-iQ PLUS

Less time calibrating,
more time measuring

PH10M-iQ PLUS offers all the benefits of a traditional PH10M

PLUS but with the addition of inferred qualification. This further

demonstrates Renishaw’s commitment to continuous product

development.

PH10M-iQ PLUS increases throughput by removing the need

to qualify each head position that is used. This allows more

time to be spent measuring.

Following an initial head localisation, a simple qualification

procedure of as few as three positions allows the user to

operate PH10M-iQ PLUS in every orientation possible without

requalifying.

Innovations

Two heads in one

PH10M-iQ PLUS provides all the functionality of Renishaw’s

industry standard PH10M PLUS but with the addition of

inferred qualification for touch-trigger probing routines.

Where an application or specific angle demands ultimate

touch-trigger accuracy then PH10M-iQ PLUS can be qualified

in the same way as a standard PH10M PLUS.

PH10M-iQ PLUS must perform a simple qualification

procedure before inferred mode can be used, after which

any head position can be used for measurement without

having to requalify.

Depending on your metrology requirements you can

optimise the accuracy of your system by increasing the

number of qualification positions during probe qualification.

Horizontal arm machine specification

Using a PAA3 300 mm extension bar, standard force TP20 module, 10 mm x 4 mm diameter stylus
on a machine with the following specification;

MPEe = ± (9 + L / 100) µm (L in mm)
ISO 10360-2 (2009)

Bridge machine specification

Using a PAA1 adaptor, standard force TP20 module, 10 mm x 4 mm diameter stylus on a machine
with the following specification;

MPEe = ± (1 + L / 750) µm (L in mm)
ISO 10360-2 (2009)

*Positional span of sphere location (PLTI) evaluated as per ISO 10360-5 (2010) but covering all 720
head positions

Compatibility

Renishaw’s complete range of PH10M PLUS compatible probes are also compatible with PH10M-iQ PLUS. However, the

added functionality of inferred qualification can only be used with touch-trigger probes.

TP20, TP2-5W, TP200, TP6, TP6A and TP7M touch-trigger probes can be used in traditional PH10 mode or can utilise

inferred qualification; whereas SP25M and SP600M scanning probes can only be used in traditional PH10 mode and cannot

utilise inferred qualification.
