According to the B&S rep in my area, this thing is not ready for the real world. But of course he would say that. The new Tesa heads that Hexagon is making are an indication that they would like to get away from Renishaw if possible.

I have the Tesabut I have the SP25 Renishaw scanning Probe on it. It is pretty darn fast, I mean I probly could turn it up to that speed I just dont know what the accurecy is. Did you know that the SP25 Renishaw head is run by a internal laser. And it never leaves the part once it starts its scanning. Its pretty impressive.
One of the divisions of my company has one and is testing it. I also heard that GE engines has two of them.
I heard of the accuracy by word of mouth by the programmer who was using it. The basis for this head is that if you take out the machine X, Y or Z movement you will remove variation and it is true, so I hear.
It was on a Wenzel machine when I saw it and it was not running PC-DMIS but I believe, also from word of mouth, that PC-DMIS will run it.
You are corect inspector212. It is in fact a Wenzel Machine. We are currently looking at new cmm's. The Wenzel guy was the only one who pointed out the Machine manufacturer. When we asked the others, "we're working on it" was the response.
As I understand it currently the only combo capable of any useful data at that speed is on a Wenzel with a UCC2 from Renishaw. There must be a reason for Renishaw to choose Wenzel over The other makers.

I wonder the accuracy on this kind of probing though. On the site they mention using a very low force when doing these scans. One would imagine the pain of filtering this kind of data for accuracy. That surface had better be smooth as a baby's bottom to get good results.
I used to be high on life but I built up a tolerance.

I thought contact measurement was dead technology, eventhough it's my bread & butter. I think one day laser scanning will be good enough to use for everything, but when? Is this that much superior to devalue our existing equipment? I don't think so.
My Leitz LSPX1S_t cals super slow on my new machine is scanning really slowly. I have it at 100 percent but it seems to stop and think ater ever hit....
