Touch Trigger probes on a scanning head

Hello all,

I am a new programmer who is helping build up my companies probe stock.

We have an old touch trigger CMM that uses 2m threads and we have just bought a new 7,10,7 with a scanning head which uses a 3m thread.

Looking through Hexagons catalog I noticed they have touch trigger probes and scanning probes separated yet there are touch trigger probe styles that would work with our 3m probe clamp apparatus for the new CMM

Is it possible to use touch trigger probes with the scanning head (HP-S-X1H) or should I just stick to looking at the scanning probe section of the catalog.

There seems to be more styles of touch trigger probes then scanning probes and I am just curious if it will work or negatively effect accuracy if we built a scanning tip with a touch trigger style probe.

Thank you,

  • I am currently running both TTP and analogs with the same scanning head as you. Hexagon had to come in to install an extra wire for the TTP to work and they also provided me with a HA-TM-31 attachment so I could build TTP setups on the HP-S-X1H. We had to resort to using TTP here because of vibrations coming from a nearby press messing with our analog system. Hopefully this helps you.
