Renishaw PH10 Plus

PH10 Plus Motorized Indexing Heads

The range comprises three PH10 models, each of which can carry a range of probes and extensions and can be orientated in 720 repeatable positions, giving access to the most difficult-to-reach workpiece features.

All three variants of the new PH10 heads are now supplied with a revised repeatability specification, down from 0.5 µm (2σ) to just 0.4 µm (2σ) (specified at a distance of 62 mm), giving users improved positioning at the stylus tip. The new specification heads are physically differentiated by a new ‘aqua blast’ finish which gives a modern, matte black appearance.

PH10M Plus

The PH10M Plus can carry long extension bars and complex probes such as SP25M or TP7M. The highly repeatable autojoint allows rapid probe or extension bar changing without the need for re-qualification.

Specification:

Length	117 mm
Width	62 mm
Weight	645 g
Probe mounting	Autojoint (multiwire)
Head mounting	PH10M shank to suit CMM
Suitable controller	PHC10-2
Repeatability of position	0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 62 mm
Total no. of positions	720
Max recommended drive torque	0.45 Nm
Maximum extension bar	300 mm (11.8 in) using PAA3 extension

PH10MQ Plus

The PH10MQ Plus is a variant of the PH10M that allows the motorized head to be attached directly to the quill with the B axis of the head inside the quill itself. This option provides a neater and shorter probe mount, with only the A axis protruding from the quill.

Specification:

Length	73 mm
Width	80 mm
Weight	730 g
Probe mounting	Autojoint (multiwire)
Head mounting	Direct to quill
Suitable controller	PHC10-2
Repeatability of position	0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 62 mm
Total no. of positions	720
Max recommended drive torque	0.45 Nm
Maximum extension bar	300 mm (11.8 in) using PAA3 extension

PH10T Plus

The PH10T Plus is similar to the PH10M, except that it features an M8 thread probe mount in place of the autojoint.

All M8 threaded probes, such as TP20 and TP200, and extension bars fit directly onto the head. The PH10T is fully compatible with all of Renishaw’s stylus and module change systems.

Specification:

Length	103 mm
Width	63 mm
Weight	645 g
Probe mounting	M8 thread (2 wire)
Head mounting	Shank to suit CMM
Suitable controller	PHC10-2
Repeatability of position	0.4 µm (0.00002 in) specified at a distance of 48 mm (equivalent to a TP2 and PS1R stylus)
Total no. of positions	720
Max recommended drive torque	0.45 Nm
Maximum extension bar	300 mm (11.8 in) using PEL4 extension
