probe head grinding gears!!

PH10MQ 7.5 degree head on B&S Chameleon sounds like its grinding gears as it switches between orientations... clearly has to be replaced...

anyone have any experience with this?

where did you get your parts?

advice??

thanks

    We just replaced the PH10MQ on our Global 9.15.8.
    The PH10MQ is no longer available. PH10MQ Plus is the replacement.
    Requires a new controller.

    Renishaw sells a kit that makes swapping it out a piece of cake.
    Biggest challenge is getting the DIP switches correct.
    Renishaw put one of the DIP switch boards upside down in the new controller.
    If one doesn't overthink it and simply follows directions, it works as advertised.

    Even with the new controller, It was still cheaper to replace than the TesaStar-M on our 5.7.5.
