(Renishaw: New Mills, UK) -- Renishaw has added the SFP1, a new probe option, to its REVO five-axis measurement system, which for the first time allows surface-finish inspection to be fully integrated within coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measurement routines.

With a measurement capability of 6.3 to 0.05 Ra, the SFP1 surface-finish probe provides a unique “single platform” that will eliminate the need for handheld sensors or moving parts to costly dedicated surface-finish measuring machines. The probe will reduce labor costs and inspection lead times. CMM users will now be able to automatically switch between part scanning and surface-finish measurement with analysis all contained in a single measurement report.

High quality surface-finish data

As a fully integrated option for the REVO 5-axis measurement system, users of the SFP1 surface finish probe will benefit from a range of powerful features that will boost inspection speed and flexibility.
