Touch trigger probes

Scott Staral @ WAFCO
I was poking around on the Hexagon site today and saw that they sell an adaptor that would allow you to use a TP20 touch trigger on a Romer Arm.

I was wondering, does anyone have this and how well do the touch trigger probes work with a Romer. Also how would you calibrate your probe configurations. I doubt that it would be done the same way that you calibrate the fixed probes that come with the arm.

If it is possible to use a TP20 set up, that would be great. As nice as the RS1 scanner is, you can't get at everything with it, especially inside a casting.

Thanks

    Yes you can use TP20 probes, but for castings I´d use a hardprobe instead of a TP20, these are better suited for softer materials like plastics, clay, thin sheet metal, etc.
