REVO ®The REVO ® measuring head features spherical air bearingtechnology in each of its two axes, driven by brushlessmotors linked to high-resolution encoders to provide fast,ultra-high accuracy positioning.REVO ® system overviewThe system comprises the following elements:• REVO ® head• RSP2 2D tip sensing probe and associated stylus holders andaccessories• RSP3 3D probe and associated accessories• UCC2 universal CMM controller• REVO ® PCI interface card (for UCC2)• SPA2 servo power amplifierCoordinate measuringmachine probes1-15• Air filter unitREVO ® – ‘tip sensing’ probe technology• Enclosed laser directed onto a reflector at the stylus tip.• The stylus touches the part and bends.• The reflector is displaced.• The altered return path of the laser is sensed by a PSD.• The exact tip position is known because the reflector and the stylusball are close together.• Stylus wear is minimized by using a low scanning force.Hardware integration• The UCC2 is fundamental to the REVO ® system• The UCC2 controller features Renscan5scanning routines particular to five-axis motionand scanning• SPA2 is a servo power amplifier used to drivethe head and CMM• MCU1 or MCU5 is the multi-function handcontrol unit required for the systemREVO ® features and benefits:• Incorporates Renscan5 five axis scanning technology minimizingCMM motion and the associated CMM dynamic errors• Increased measuring speed, up to 500 mm/s resulting in increasedmeasurement throughput• Data collection rates up to 6,000 points per secondSoftware integration• The Renishaw UCCserver softwareapplication will provide the interface for REVO ®control• UCCserver is based on I++DME commandprotocol• Infinite positioning and five axis motion reduces non-productivetransitions between features• Stylus wear minimized by extremely low scanning forces• Infinite positioning and five axis motion aid access to difficultfeatures• Rapid calibration with all positions inferred means more timemeasuring• Maximum reach up to 500 mm with maintained effective workinglength• Standard M2 styli for convenience• Probe and stylus changing capability allowing flexibility and futureprobing technology compatibility
