Hi.
Anyone who know the average life of this probe?
I want to replace our probe with a new one, but I need some figures to present for the management..
I have 11 LSP probes in my shop. The oldest has been here about six years, and has probably seen more than 12,000 hours of actual use.
Most of my machines are run by button pushers that will find every possible way to load a part or fixture incorrectly. Every probe has been crashed - a lot. One has a dent in the side from getting smacked by a robotic arm. They all still calibrate and measure fine.
I don't know current pricing, but you can expect to pay less for
this 78" 4K LED television than a replacement LSP-X1. These probes do not need to be replaced on a schedule or on a whim.
Two were replaced due to one individual crashing them exceptionally hard ( oil leaking out of one, inability to calibrate with the other).
Was the crashed probe a TP20? There's no oil in an LSP probe, the mechanism relies entirely on springs.
