This addition to the HP-S-X5 range is designed to give high and repeatable accuracy, even with heavier and longer probe extensions, accepting styli of lengths up to 800 mm and weights to 650 g. The HP-S-X5 HD enables users of Leitz PMM-Xi and Leitz Reference Xi CMMs to measure small parts and features deep inside a larger workpiece with the same probe head, says Hexagon.
HP-S-X5 range sensors also feature true 3D probing, compensating for probe bend to reduce errors in results. The sensors use a proprietary anti-collision system to protect the head, while automatic tool changing capabilities allow styli switches within a measuring program without the need for sensor requalification.
