Just got one of these last month. So far it's worked great! We don't do any scanning, but everything else works flawlessly.
My only gripe is that the workstation that came with it is poorly designed. I have to remove the controller from the back of it just to access the back panel of the computer!
Hey guys!
The company I work for has decided to upgrade our machine after watching me pull all my hair out and bought me a brand new Global S (Green). Not bad moving from a Ph9 up to a HP-S-X1. This new technology is amazing!
Something to think about and from what we have learned to keep your runtimes from getting long winded due to the way the HP-S-X1 records the measurement (on retract) is to turn FASTPROBE/ON. I've done some testing and correlation studies here (we are medical) and by turning FASTPROBE/ON and slowing the touch speed down I can still maintain the program runtime. Scanning can and will reduce your time too.
I was told (by a Hexagon AE) that we would lose accuracy but from the correlation studies that we did we lost nothing. Same CMM, same part and same probe builds with several programs ran with FASTPROBE/OFF then again with FASTPROBE/ON.
FASTPROBE/OFF ran at 8+ minutes vs. FASTPROBE/ON at a little over 7 minutes. One doesn't think a minute is much but over 24/6 that makes a difference.
Our parts have tolerances anywhere from +/-0.25mm down to +/-0.010mm.
