Renishaw Revo-2 multi-sensor measuring head

Renishaw’s Revo-2 is an improved version of the company’s multi-sensor, 5-axis measuring head for use on CMMs.

Revo-2, and newly developed CMM controller UCC S5, offer enhanced power and communications capability to carry the latest Revo sensors, such as the RVP vision measurement probe. The head also has an increased range of movement in the negative A-axis, which can improve part access and reduce set-up complexity.

Revo-2 incorporates Renishaw's own ATOM optical incremental encoder system, which offers speeds up to 20 m/s and resolutions to 1 nm in a range of linear and rotary scales available in stainless steel and glass.

Renishaw says that Revo-2 is the only scanning system for CMMs that simultaneously controls the motion of three machine and two head axes while collecting workpiece data using its range of 2D and 3D tactile probes, surface roughness measurement probe and, now, non-contact its vision probe.
