This is the PH20 #A-5669-0001. It includes the PH20 head with standard force module TP20.
PH20 – a dramatic impact on inspection timescales, capability and flexibility
- PH20 brings 5-axis measurement capability to touch-trigger applications on all sizes of CMM
- Increased throughput – up to 3x faster than indexing heads
- Easy access to features at any angle with infinite positioning
- Faster calibration
- Integral industry standard TP20 probe
- Improved touch-trigger metrology performance
- Available on new CMMs or as a retrofit
Increased CMM throughput
- Unique ‘head touches’ allow measurement points to be taken using only the head and not the CMM structure
- 5-axis controlled motion between features eliminates indexing time
- Together, these speed increases result in a typical 3-fold improvement in throughput
Easy access to features at any angle
- Infinite positioning capability guarantees optimal feature access,
minimising stylus changes, especially when probe-extension
clearance is small - 5-axis simultaneous motion allows larger parts to be measured
on the CMM by minimising the space required around the part
for head rotation - PH20 automatically aligns itself with the part coordinate system,
avoiding stylus collisions and the requirement for accurate
fixtures
Faster calibration
- Unique ‘inferred calibration’ technique determines the head orientation and probe position in a single operation, allowing subsequent measurement at any head angle
- Dramatic time savings accumulate as the calibration process is repeated on a regular basis to comply with quality procedures or following a probe crash
- Enhanced metrology performance is also available by calibrating the probe tip at the feature orientation
PH20 system
- Integral TP20 probe mount to optimise working volume of CMM
- Compatible with the existing range of proven TP20 probe modules: wide selection of trigger forces, directional sensing options and extensions to meet application requirements*
- Detachable modules provide crash protection
- Modules can be changed automatically using the TCR20 change rack
* Except for the extended force module
Improved touch-trigger metrology performance
- Repeatability is improved when ‘head touch’ method is used
- Accuracy is improved by using feature orientation based calibration and ‘head touches’
- Pre-travel variation is automatically compensated
- Module changing – automatic tip offset correction
Available with your new CMM or as retrofit to existing equipment
- Compact design – suitable for a wide range of CMMs using shank or quill mounting
- Renishaw CMM controller – I++DME communication, wide selection of metrology software
- Index head compatibility – no requirement to modify existing programs in the majority of cases
- Integral TP20 probe – allows re-use of existing equipment
- Mechanical bearings – no air supply required
Hardware integration
- The PH20 system is only available with the UCC T5 controller
- SPA3 is a servo power amplifier used to power the CMM
- MCUlite-2 / MCU5 / MCU5-2 / MCU W / MCU W-2 are the multi-function hand control units available for use with the PH20 system
