PH10 PLUS motorised probe head range

PH10 PLUS

The range of PH10 PLUS motorised probe heads increases throughput by giving

automated CMMs the added capability of program controlled probe reorientation.

This enables the inspection of features at different angles without the need for

frequent, time consuming stylus cluster changes.

PH10 PLUS heads are compatible with a range of both contact and

non-contact scanning sensors and touch-trigger probes, allowing the size and

form of critical features to be determined.

When used in conjunction with the PH10M PLUS or PH10MQ PLUS, Renishaw’s

autochange systems provide fast, repeatable probe and extension bar exchange,

without the need for re-qualification of the stylus tip, helping to maximise productivity.

Since 1988 the PH10 heads have been installed on thousands of co-ordinate

measuring machines and Renishaw has engaged on a continuous development

program resulting in several important enhancements through the product’s

history including:

- Significant mechanical design improvements

- Improved repeatability and long term stability

- LED replaced with light guide (red when powered on and white when off)

- Ability to store usage history for subsequent analysis

- 2 year warranty as standard.

Key benefits

Accuracy

Repeatability specification is a market leading 0.4 μm

at a 100 mm radius from the centre of rotation of the axis,

providing accurate positioning even when using

long extensions.

Increased throughput

The PH10’s ability to index automatically reduces the number

of stylus changes required, thereby increasing the throughput

of your CMM. Indexing is faster than stylus changing.

Increased reach and flexibility

Extension bars up to 450 mm long, together with the full range

of Renishaw autojoint and M8 probes, can be used with the

appropriate head types.

Innovations

Repeatable kinematic location

The PH10 PLUS uses a six point kinematic location for each

of its 720 indexable positions, making its locking mechanism

the most repeatable on the market.

The Renishaw autojoint

This industry standard feature allows repeatable automated

probe exchange without the need for stylus requalification.

UCC compatibility

The PH10 PLUS can be used in conjunction with Renishaw’s

UCC controller family, providing a comprehensive retrofit

solution for all types of CMM.
