Hello everyone. I would like to get some personal opinions from people who have used the Renishaw PH10M and the Hexagon HH-AS-T2.5 heads on their CMMs. We are in the process of purchasing a additional CMM. We currently have a CMM and are running a PH10M probe head on it along with a MicroVu with a Renishaw probe. I would like to hear from some of your thoughts on preference coming from hexagon these days?
I can't give any specific feedback because I haven't used Hexagon probes outside of the classroom, but here's something to consider: if there's any chance that you will be running the same parts/programs on multiple machines then it may be easier to manage if they all are equipped with the same hardware.

From he looks of it, it appears to be a 2.5°version of the TeasstarM
Now whilst I agree with everyone else in terms of transferring programs I'd just like to mention the following plus points WRT to the Hexagon heads...
1) You've obviously got a smaller angular increment so you can access features easier without risking shanking, potentially enabling to to measure a greater amount of a feature for more accurate results
2) The ability to index to -ve A angles - I found this particularly useful when working a a machine with a scanning probe using 'L' probes
3) The probe is offset 12mm from quill centre - this sort of increases your CMM volume by and inch in each direction - useful for very small CMM's
T5 here and I wish it was PH10. It's a pain in the *** to edit programs to run on machine with PH10. Negative A angle is a disaster, the grids in add angle window is too small, got a headache every time I look at it, T2.5 is even smaller, maybe 2 pixels per square. Analog module is too long, you might need 2 probe racks to change over from analog to TTP. The slots on probe changer does not have covers to keep the dust off....got analog probe deflection error constantly, long pause between probe angle change, takes too long to register a hit.
