The LSP-X1h sensor for the Leitz Reference series reaches every feature of a part

  • Leitz CMM sensor
A new sensor is available for the Leitz Reference series of co-ordinate measuring machines in the form of the LSP-X1h. It is capable of accommodating styli lengths from 20 to 225 mm in the axial orientation and up to 50 mm in the lateral orientation. The maximum stylus weight is 33 g. The sensor attaches to TesaStar-m indexable articulated probe heads. The LSP-X1h is compatible with the latest Leitz Reference Xi and Leitz Reference XT co-ordinate measuring machines.

Like all the other Leitz probe heads, the LSP-X1h combines different measuring technologies in one sensor: single point probing and self-centering measuring are just as possible as high precision, high speed scanning for rapid, very accurate form and contour measurements on parts. When Leitz 3D probe systems are used to inspect a part, they measure simultaneously in the X, Y and Z directions and automatically perpendicular to the part surface. The deflection of the styli is calculated and taken into account by the measuring software.
