SP25M TACTILE SCANNING PROBE
The SP25M is two sensors in one and it has unrivaled 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 adapter to carry the TP20 range of touch-trigger probe modules.
The SP25M’s compact size and autojoint mounting makes it compatible with PH10M 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 optimized high accuracy performance over the entire stylus range from 20mm to 400 mm effective working length (EWL).
A range of stylus holders (SH25-1/2/3/4) is available to offer straight stylus carrying on the existing module range. For superior performance with crank/star/non-straight styli the use of the SM25-5 module and SH25-5 stylus holder, is recommended.
Module and stylus changing is enabled using the FCR25 flexible change rack, which can be located either on the CMM bed, or on the MRS modular rack system.

Key benefits
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. It is
also sufficiently compact to suit very small CMMs.
Modularity to allow unrivaled flexibility- The SP25M system allows the user to configure a basic installation which can be readily
expanded at any time.
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.
