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.
Hexagon is now selling and seems like only selling compact touch trigger probes. They don't sit the the same in the probe body. I have a HP-TB and HP-TBe on my desk and the HP-TMe module wiggles a little in the HP-TB but fits snugly in the HP-TBe.
You might have to ask after market sales or parts at hexagon for the correct part you need.
Renisahw's tp20s are interchangeable with hexagon HP-TB probe body. They are just a different color. I usually buy probe modules from a Renishaw distributor. They are faster as sending quotes than Hexagon.

Thank you so much for this insight! I have a HP-TB body so the Renishaws will probably be the way to go since Hexagon doesn't seem to be selling any non "e" modules.
