| CMM Touch Trigger Probes |
A key member of your probe system selection is the touch trigger probe. The touch trigger probe provides the connection between your
probe head and the stylus and contains the necessary trigger
capability to record a data point, or scan data when in
contact with the artifact.
Some touch trigger probe models provide stylus separation extending the range of functionality for your CMM. |

| TP2 Touch Probe |
This is the traditional slimline switching probe
for most applications. The small diameter, 13mm
or 0.51", allows access into restricted areas.
Its adjustable stylus force enables the probe to
support a wide range of styli and extensions.
Can be attached to the ends of the same diameter
extension bars (PEL family) for longer reach.
For manual or DCC applications.
Available in
the 6-way configuration for minus-Z
measurements. |
 |
|
|
| |
| TP6 Touch Probe |
A larger, more robust probe than the TP2. The
body diameter is 25mm or 0.98". Recommended for
shop and production applications. The extended
stylus force range of 10g-30g allows the use of
longer styli without the problem of false
triggers.
The
TP6A model connects directly to the Autojoint
mounting on compatible probe heads. |

The TP20 is basically a two-piece TP2. The
switching mechanism is in the module, which
attaches magnetically to the probe body via a
repeatable kinematic mount. Since the modules
are less expensive than a TP2, multiple stylus
configurations for repetitive parts become less
costly. Add to this the MCR20 Stylus Rack and
you approach the versatility of a costly
motorized probe head. The detachable module also
prevents costly damage in the event of a
collision.
Available in
the 6-way configuration for minus-Z
measurements.
*NOTE: The RTP20
utilizes the motorized axes of the CMM for
articulation. |

| TP20 Stylus Modules |
CMM Style: Manual and DCC
The MCR20 system has 5 standard
length modules, plus two extended length modules
to fit your inspection needs.
These modules also mount
directly to the MH20 and MH20i indexing probe head without the use of
the TP20 touch probe body.

| TP200 Modular Probe System |
 |
|
 |
|
The TP-200 is a highly sensitive and accurate
probe based on micro strain gauge technology. It
favors a detachable module like the TP20; the
outside appearance is quite similar. The body
diameter again is 13mm (.51"). Triggering takes
place in the probe body, the modules are
therefore less expensive. The lobing error,
associated with the other mechanical probes is
absent. It is, therefore, recommended for
accurate roundness measurements in bearing bores
and the like. To achieve the higher accuracy it
is imperative that the qualification speed and
the speed while taking points are the same and
constant. Consequently this Probe should NOT be
used on manual CMMs. |

| SCR200 Stylus Modules |
CMM Style: DCC
The SCR200 system has 3 stylus
modules to fit your inspection needs. The EO
module is designed to provide extended Z-Axis
over travel of 12.5 mm to higher speed
applications where the CMM may require extended
over-shoot distances.

The TP7M is based on strain gauge technology
which provides a higher accuracy than standard
touch probes. This technology should only be
used on DCC style CMMs where the contact speeds
can be controlled and constant. Requires the use
of the PI7-2 probe interface. |

The SP25M scanning probe system has a compact 25mm diameter body that supports scanning and touch trigger probe configurations. There are 4 scanning modules to support various length styli and one TP20 touch probe adapter to data point capturing.
The SP25M system works with the UCC2 CMM Controller which provides full scanning
and touch point operations. This system can be
mounted on any Probe Head that supports the Autojoint with multiwire.
Additional accessories include various
changing racks to fit your needs. |

The MP-100 Video Probe is intended for use
with manual CMMs, and provides an accurate means
of measuring 2D features, such as printed or
etched images like circuit boards, where tactile
probes are not effective. It is normally used to
measure features in the XY plane, and is
positioned manually by means of the locks and
fine adjustment knobs. Positions are entered via
the keyboard or footswitch.
The system includes a high resolution color
camera, flat panel monitor, 6:1 motorized zoom
lens, variable intensity LED ring light, a
multifunctional crosshair generator, a control
console, mounting shank, and cables.
As an added benefit, the MP-100 includes support for
the standard Renishaw PH6 probe head and
includes support for touch probes such as the TP2, TP200 and TP20. This will save having
to remove one to use the other. |
