PH10 Plus
For more than 40 years, Renishaw has delivered innovations that have been milestones in industrial metrology. From the original touch-trigger probe and motorized indexing head, repeatable stylus changing and modular scanning systems, Renishaw sensors for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are an industry standard.
PH10 Plus Motorized Indexing Heads
The range comprises three PH10 models, each of which can carry a range of probes and extensions and can be orientated in 720 repeatable positions, giving access to the most difficult-to-reach workpiece features.
All three variants of the new PH10 heads are now supplied with a revised repeatability specification, down from 0.5 µm (2σ) to just 0.4 µm (2σ) (specified at a distance of 62 mm), giving users improved positioning at the stylus tip. The new specification heads are physically differentiated by a new ‘aqua blast’ finish which gives a modern, matte black appearance.
PH10M Plus
PH10M PlusThe PH10M Plus can carry long extension bars and complex probes such as SP25M or TP7M. The highly repeatable autojoint allows rapid probe or extension bar changing without the need for re-qualification.
Specification:
| Length | 117 mm |
| Width | 62 mm |
| Weight | 645 g |
| Probe mounting | Autojoint (multiwire) |
| Head mounting | PH10M shank to suit CMM |
| Suitable controller | PHC10-2 |
| Repeatability of position | 0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 62 mm |
| Total no. of positions | 720 |
| Max recommended drive torque | 0.45 Nm |
| Maximum extension bar | 300 mm (11.8 in) using PAA3 extension |
PH10MQ Plus
PH10MQ PlusThe PH10MQ Plus is a variant of the PH10M that allows the motorized head to be attached directly to the quill with the B axis of the head inside the quill itself. This option provides a neater and shorter probe mount, with only the A axis protruding from the quill.
Specification:
| Length | 73 mm |
| Width | 80 mm |
| Weight | 730 g |
| Probe mounting | Autojoint (multiwire) |
| Head mounting | Direct to quill |
| Suitable controller | PHC10-2 |
| Repeatability of position | 0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 62 mm |
| Total no. of positions | 720 |
| Max recommended drive torque | 0.45 Nm |
| Maximum extension bar | 300 mm (11.8 in) using PAA3 extension |
PH10T Plus
The PH10T Plus is similar to the PH10M, except that it features an M8 thread probe mount in place of the autojoint.
All M8 threaded probes, such as TP20 and TP200, and extension bars fit directly onto the head. The PH10T is fully compatible with all of Renishaw’s stylus and module change systems.
Specification:
| Length | 103 mm |
| Width | 63 mm |
| Weight | 645 g |
| Probe mounting | M8 thread (2 wire) |
| Head mounting | Shank to suit CMM |
| Suitable controller | PHC10-2 |
| Repeatability of position | 0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 48 mm (equivalent to a TP2 and PS1R stylus) |
| Total no. of positions | 720 |
| Max recommended drive torque | 0.45 Nm |
| Maximum extension bar | 300 mm (11.8 in) using PEL4 extension |
