MH20i are the new generation of manually adjustable probe heads from Renishaw. Suitable for installation on new and existing co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), both probe heads incorporate Renishaw’s TP20 kinematic probe mount, which permits repeatable probe module changing.This unique system enables productivity improvements to be made through rapid changes in probe/ stylus configurations.The incorporation of the modified TP20 kinematic probe mount results in a compact design, permitting a larger CMM working volume.
Both heads have been specifically designed to maximise the benefits associated with Renishaw’s revolutionary TP20 probe system. This concept enables various different probing configurations to be used during an inspection cycle, without the need for time consuming probe re-qualification. The TP20 probe module range provides a selection of trigger force, length and directional sensing options, and allows a maximum stylus carrying capability of 60 mm and overall reach of 145 mm.
For general use
• Standard, medium and extended force probe modules, suitable for most applications. Two additional standard force probe modules providing extended reach:
• EM1 and EM2 (50 mm and 75 mm extra reach respectively). Two probe modules that are designed specifically for specialist applications:
• Low force for measurement of delicate objects.
• 6-way sensing for measurement of undercuts where access limitations would otherwise make inspection difficult.
The four trigger force levels ensure measurement consistency and eliminate the requirement for manual adjustment.
Enhanced inspection capability through adjustable probe orientation.
• Improved productivity by means of probe module changing without re-qualification.
• Optimum working volumes provided by compact design.
• Choice of fully flexible (MH20) or indexable (MH20i) orientation.
• Smooth position changing through purpose designed locking mechanisms.
• Easy installation on CMMs using industry standard shanks.
• Repeatable index positions eliminate the need for constant re-qualification.
• 168 positions (at 15° increments) offer maximum flexibility in repeatable probe orientation.
• Lock / unlock feature allows ease of positioning and eliminates unnecessary wear.
• Easy-to-read scales for rapid re-orientation to qualified positions.
