Testing a scanning Module for damage

Hi,

We are using scanning SM25-1 modules on our Global Adavantage 575 CMM's.

Are there any surefire methods for testing the modules to check to see if they are damaged.

Are there any tell tale signs that I can look out for that will help me identify a damaged scanning module?

Thanks!

I have a few questions for you. What's happening that you would suspect the module of being damaged? Are you seeing poor calibration results? Are you seeing bad part results? Bad scan results?

When I was using an SM25 I typically knew it was damaged because the spring was sprung. There is a lot of fragile intricate pieces inside of the SM25 doesn't take much to wreck them. If I remember correctly you are looking at about $2500 for a refurb....

Generally we are seeing out of tolerances on scans of parts that we know are good parts. I'd also be worried that it may not be the module and we are getting rid of modules that arent in fact bad.

Also, I wasn't aware that they can be refurbished.... is there somewhere in particular that does this?

Thanks!
