SP80 scanning probe components

Stylus holders

SH80

• A detachable stylus holder located onto the probe body using a repeatable magnetic kinematic joint
• Provides rapid and automatic interchange between stylus configurations thus enabling optimisation of measuring solutions to suit the application whilst maintaining system accuracy
• Incorporates a 5-way cube for attachment of M5 styli
• The stylus mount cube may be rotated by loosening a grub screw to enable correct rotational positioning of the stylus arrangement
• Automatically removed and replaced on the probe body by using a SCP80 / V mounted on an MRS or suitable extrusion
• Can dock into an SCP80 port aligned with any of the four sides of the SP80 probe meaning that the SCP80 / V can be positioned to the rear, front, left or right of the CMM, or any combination of these

SH80K

• Supplied as a standard item with each probe
• A stylus holder with a kinematic location ball that allows the SP80 and SP80H to be powered off / on without needing to rehome the probe (needs the SH80K to be fitted before the power is switched off)
• The stylus ball locates on a special kinematic screw that is fitted to the probe body
• It is possible to use SH80K with earlier versions of SP80 as the kinematic screw can be retrofitted to the probe body

SP80 stylus change racks and accessories

SCP80 stylus change port

• Docking port for SH80 stylus holder - mounted on modular rack system (MRS)
• The SCP80 has a spring loaded mechanism that is designed to ease the stylus holders away from the probe body
• The SP80 pull-off force is less than 20 N

Stylus holder removal tool

• A removal tool for manually removing the SH80K and SH80 from either the SP80 and SP80H

SP80 interfaces

CC6 counter card

• A PCI counter card which accepts RS422 scale output (typically from the Renishaw IU80 interpolator unit) and determines the {x,y,z} deflection of the SP80 probe
• Data is then integrated with the machine position to determine the surface location
• Suitable for PCs equipped with full size PCI expansion slots
  

IU80 interpolator unit

• A boxed interface unit designed to condition the SP80 probe outputs into the industry-standard EIA RS422 quadrature scale output format
• Signals can then be readily accepted by CMM controllers
• Can be used with the Renishaw CC6 counter card, or with counter circuitry designed by the machine builder

OEM design

• A counter card and interpolator unit designed by the machine builder

SP80 quill connection options (suitable for both SP80 and SP80H)

KM80 quill mount plate

• A simple, repeatable attachment between the SP80 scanning probe and the CMM quill
• Attached to the quill using four bolts and is designed to suit M4 or M3 quill attachment screws
  

KM6080 quill mount adaptor plate

• Enables the SP80 to be adapted to suit CMMs with 60 mm square quills
• Not available as a standard product and must be quoted through Renishaw's Custom Design Service

SM80 shank mount

• As KM80 but with a shank mount to the CMM (non-preferred method)
• SM80 shank mounts are not available as standard products and must be quoted through Renishaw's Custom Design Service

PHA3 and PHA80

• Adaptor plates for rapid interchange between PH10MQ PLUS (using PHA3) and SP80 (using PHA80) on the same CMM
