<strong>Probing</strong> systems forco-<strong>ordinate</strong> measuring <strong>machines</strong>SP80 - ultra-high accuracyscanning probeThe SP80 is a passive scanning probe usingdigital scale and readheads which enable asystem resolution of 0.02 µm (0.00000079 in).This gives exceptional scanning performance,even with long styli.Scanning probes4-7The SP80 can carry styli up to 800 mm(31.50 in) long and 500 g (17.64 oz) mass,including star confi gurations. Unbalancedstar confi gurations do not requirecounterbalancing. Kinematic stylus holderchanging allows for the repeatable re-locationof the stylus, optimises stylus arrangementsfor each feature, and overcomes the need forre-qualifi cation.The SP80 has a kinematic mount thatprovides a repeatable connection to themating plate mounted on the quill (KM80),allowing the probe to be easily removed.Kinematic stylus holders provide crashprotection in the XY plane, and a bump-stopprevents damage to the probe in the Z axis.NOTE: Please see the accessories page 13-4for details of adaptor plates PHA80 and PHA3which permit rapid interchange between SP80and PH10MQ indexing motorised head.Isolated optical metrology systemUsing an isolated optical metrology system,SP80 directly measures the defl ectionof the whole mechanism, thus providingoutstandingly accurate position sensing.The isolated optical metrology system candetect sources of variable error such asthermal and dynamic effects. In contrast,probes with displacement sensors mountedto stacked axes suffer from latency underchanging inertial loads, and cannot detectthermal growth in their mechanisms.Electrical connectionfor readheadsThe readheads for each axis are fi xed to thebody of the probe, and measure the defl ectionin each direction. Any inter-axis errors causedby the arc motion of each pair of parallelactingsprings are directly measured by thesensor system. Isolated optical metrologysystems have no moving wire connections.Readheadsattached toprobe body‘Moving cube’with scalesLight is refl ected fromthe moving cube ontoreadheadStylus mountShaded areasindicate themoving partsIsolated optical metrology
