Wrist error. Possible pneumatic issue?

Hello all,

Happy new year! We were having this air pressure issue this morning with our global dea where the air pressure was at around 0.4 MPa. We increased the air pressure to 0.55MPa as per manual and the error disappeared. The CMM makes a homing but stops and gives a wrist error message when trying to change probe/change angle. PH10M Head / TP200 module. Can this 2 issues be related? Does the head engage disengage system is performed pneumatically? Anyone got any ideas?

  • I run PH10MQ's in a 24/7 operation. They are super reliable, but they DO have a finite lifespan.

    Before I implemented routines to reduce wrist rotations (EX: from 30 rotations per execution, to just 6 or from 36 to just 1 when I implemented a star probe), we would wear out our PH10M's about once per year.  After I reduced rotations, we are getting over two years per unit AND we more than doubled our throughput.

    Hexagon's HH-AS8-T7.5 so far lasts less than 1/2 as long, and the T2.5 is proving to be equivalent or better than the PH10MQ's. 
    RBE for a hexagon T7.5 head has lasted ~11 months.
