Motorised heads' performance boosted
Following a series of design enhancements, Renishaw's industry-standard family of PH10 motorised indexing heads for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) now have a 20 per cent improvement in repeatability and increased long-term stability.
Combined with an optional extended 2-year warranty, the new PH10 heads offer CMM users a new standard of indexing head performance, providing reliable precision in even the most demanding measurement applications.
All three variants of the new PH10 heads are now supplied with a revised repeatability specification, down from 0.5 µm (2s) to just 0.4 µm (2s) (specified at a distance of 62 mm), giving users improved positioning at the stylus tip.
The improvements combine to provide increased long-term motorised head stability, giving CMM users the option to extend the time interval between calibrations. A further differential is also provided by an all new 'aqua blast' finish, which gives the new PH10 heads a modern, matt black appearance, and clearly identifies the higher specification units.
