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!

  • +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".


    Great thanks for your advice. Is it worth running a scanning test at different angles or should a test at A0B0 show up any module issues that may be happening?

    Thanks!
