HP-S-X1 Scanning Sensors for CMM Tactile Scanning

Aug. 5, 2016

HP-S-X1 series of compact probes for 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) tactile scanning offer the accuracy characteristics of fixed heads but can also be fitted to HH-A and HH-AS automatic indexable heads being capable to measure both in point-to-point and in continuous scanning mode.

 

The HP-S-X1 Sensors are available in three types. The HP-S-X1S and HP-S-X1H can be fitted to Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Probe Heads HH-A and HH-AS. The HP-S-X1C in mounted directly to the measuring machine.

 

The HP-S-X1 Scanning Probe represents the next step in the miniaturization of the proven measurement head technology. It allows for flexible and accurate measurements in an extremely broad range of possible applications. All standard measurements such as dynamic single-point inspection, high-speed scanning as well as self-centering measurements for highly accurate form and contour inspection are thus possible.

  • The measurement heads feature highly sensitive sensors and a large linear measurement range for generating measurement data.
  • Probes axes are not fixed during measurements. That means the measurement system always moves in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the measurement object. The actual direction of the surface normals is calculated for each touch point
  • Automated probe changes allow for quickly exchanging different probe configurations without recalibration. This substantially increases the measurement output.
  • HP-S-X1 Scanning Probes are compatible with the Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence probe heads.
  • Fast exchange of probes via the automatic tool changers.
  • Different versions are available with styli lengths from 20 to 225 mm.
