I have a 2017 SF4.5.4 CMM and we're looking at finally adding some more touch probe modules. One of the TPMs I was looking for is the HP-TM-SF (0393917US). When I looked for one on Hexagon's website they don't seem to have an exact match. The current model number is HP-TPe-SF (03939302). Are these interchangeable?
Also, as I was Googling the first model number I came across the fact that Renishaw also sells what looks to be identical TPMs. If I'm not mistaken it seems like Renishaw makes them and Hexagon sells them rebranded. Would I be correct in assuming this and are Renishaw's TPMs compatible with Hexagon products?
I tried asking my contact at Hexagon if they still sell the original touch probe modules but they didn't seem to know.
I've used both over the years and never noticed a difference aside from the Renishaw modules were usually cheaper and didn't have the matching arrow symbols. If you have a probe rack it makes no difference though.
