RSP3-6 extended reach probe
Enhanced access and inspection capability with RSP3-6
The RSP3-6 provides enhanced capability for accessing deep bores and inspecting features within large parts. It is available with a range of stylus holders for applications requiring straight and cranked extensions and can be used for both touch-trigger and 2D scanning applications.
The other RSP3 probes within the range (RSP3-1, -2, -3, -4) can be used for 3-axis scanning with fixed REVO head angles during measurement, providing the REVO system with 3D-scanning (X, Y, Z) with crank stylus capabilities. It also allows different lengths of styli to be used whilst maintaining optimum metrology performance.
Key benefits
Reach
Available with straight extensions up to 800 mm from REVO’s A-axis centre of rotation, and cranked extensions up to 600 mm from REVO’s A-axis centre of rotation.
Accuracy
Scanning accuracy: Typically better than 10 µm form error (filtered) and 5 µm diameter error.
Touch-trigger accuracy: Typically better than 3 µm form and diameter error.
Part of the REVO 5-axis multi-sensor system
Long extensions combined with 5-axis movements for better part access, and multi-sensor changing for increased flexibility.
