PH20 PLUS probe head

5-axis touch-trigger measurement system with automatic module changing via PCR20 rack

The PH20 PLUS system is the next generation of Renishaw's 5-axis touch-trigger system, developed to replace the PH20 system.

  • Knowledgebase top level image - PH20 PLUSCompact design - suitable for a wide range of CMMs
  • Renishaw CMM UCC T5 controller* – I++DME communication
  • Supports PE20 modules and existing TP20 modules
  • Mechanical bearings – no air supply required

* Requires UCCsuite version 5.13 or later

NOTE: Dimensions in mm.

Hardware integration

  • The PH20 PLUS system is only available with the UCC T5 controller
  • SPA3-2 is a servo power amplifier used to power the CMM
  • MCUlite-2 / MCU5-2 / MCU W-3 are the multi-function hand control units available for use with the PH20 PLUS system

Head axis range

The PH20 PLUS head has two rotary axes (A and B) and is normally mounted on the CMM quill to create a 5-axis measuring system.

The PH20 PLUS head's B-axis is mounted on the CMM quill and can rotate continuously in both directions.

The A-axis, which is orthogonal to the B-axis, has ±115° of travel.

The head can only be mounted in the vertical orientation.
