Testing a scanning Module for damage

nooners4
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!

  • 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....

    +1 YGOLORTEM. I go through Renishaw directly, but check around for other dealers. I will use a square or 123 block and bring the probe down to it and move the square around the circumference of the probe to see if it is off kilter to one side or not. Easy way of checking if the "spring was sprung".
