Motorized rotary/swivel heads allow automated, repeatable positioning of probes for excellent accessibility of the features to be measured on all workpiece surfaces; this increases the performance of the coordinate measuring machine and maximizes the measurement throughput.
Motorized, indexable rotary/swivel heads can position the probe at one of 720 positions. This makes it possible to measure at various angles. Due to the repeatability of the probe head, these positions can be recalled without the need for recalibration, which saves the user time and guides the probe to the surface to be measured at an ideal angle for highly accurate results.
Motorized rotary/swivel heads (PHS) allow almost unlimited angular positioning and are ideal for horizontal arm CMMs.
