(Renishaw: Hoffman Estates, IL) -- Renishaw’s new PH20 probe head increases touch-trigger coordinate measurement machine (CMM) inspection throughput up to three times using fast, infinite, rotary positioning and unique “head touch” capability for high-speed point capture with minimal CMM movement.

Designed for use with the industry-standard TP20 touch-trigger probe, the new PH20 head brings five-axis inspection capability to smaller CMMs for the first time by optimizing the working volume of the measurement platform. The PH20 is available for new CMMs, as well as retrofit machines using shank or quill mounting. It can use most existing inspection programs for indexing heads without modification and requires no compressed air.
