Probe enables surface-finish MeasureMent on cMMs Renishaw inc, Booth 1600 Renishaw's SFP1 probe option for the Revo fiveaxis measurement system integrates surfacefinish inspection within coordinate measurement routines. With a measurement capacity of 6.3 to 0.05 Ra, the probe is designed to eliminate the modular rack system (MRS). The skidded probe features a 2-micron (0.000079") radius diamond stylus tip, and the C axis enables automatic orientation of the tip to any angle to suit the part. The probe outputs Ra, RMS and raw data formats to the metrology application software via Renishaw's UCCServer software using the I++ DME protocol. The raw data can be presented to specialized surface-analysis programs for more detailed reporting. Calibration is automated under the CMM program. A surface-finish calibration artifact mounted on the MRS rack is measured using the SFP1 probe. Software adjusts parameters within the probe in accordance with the artifact's calibrated value.
