SP25M Compact Scanning Probe System
SP25M Compact Scanning Probe System
Key benefits
Excellent part accessibility At just 25mm (0.97in) diameter, the SP25M is small and light, making it ideally suited to mounting on articulating heads and on extensions of up to 100mm (3.94in). Thus a total reach of some 600mm (23.62in) is possible. However, it is also sufficiently compact to suit very small CMMs and multisensor machines. Modularity to allow unrivalled 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. Now you can efficiently do both with a single probe system!
Innovations
Isolated optical metrology A pivoting mechanism and isolated optical metrology system directly measures each axis of probe deflection. This avoids errors generated in stacked measurement axes, as used in tower scanning probes. Five scanning modules provide optimal performance across a range of stylus lengths Each scanning module has a spring rate and gain optimised for a range of stylus lengths. SP25M measures accurately with styli up to 400 mm (15.74in) long. 3rd order polynomial calibration Renishaw has developed sophisticated calibration methods for its range of scanning probes to ensure maximised performance. SP25M uses the most advanced of these methods.

Additional information
A range of SP25M probe kits is available to suit your application - from entry-level kits for touch-trigger users, to full combination kits. A range of module kits are available to supplement the probe kits, allowing SP25M users to build up their probing capability over time. Details of probe and module kits, module change racks and spare parts can be found at www.renishaw.com/SP25M.
