What Scanning Head Should I Get?

cheesiechanman
So I am looking into scanning heads and I don't really know much about them. First off what are the benefits of having a scanning head? I know it can decrease measurement times and increase accuracy due to the elimination of the lobing effect but what are some of the other benefits?

Secondly, what should I look for in a scanning head. We make plastic parts and the tolerances aren't super tight (.001" at the tightest) but I do have splines to measure and they are becoming more and more frequent.

Third, How difficult is it to learn how to use a scanning head on my own? Never used one before but I pick things up pretty quickly.

Thanks for the help.

What information do you all need to make a more educated decision?

  • My new CMM has the HP-S-X1H with an articulating head. However, I won't be able to play with it until later next week when it gets installed and calibrated.

    Most of our CMMs run with the Tesa head/scanning probe and my only complaint with the Tesa head is that they are junk and you have to replace them more often than a Renishaw head (PH10s).
