SENMATION deploys the right sensor at the right time on a single CMM for measurement applications in industries such as automotive, oil and gas and energy.
The new sensor interface enables the fully-automatic exchange of sensors within part inspection programs. The upgraded version adds the HP-S-X5 HD heavy-duty analogue scanning probe to the SENMATION toolset.
The HP-S-X5 HD accepts styli of up to 800 mm and 650 g. The update will also enable SENMATION to handle the PROFILER R tactile roughness sensor in the near future, further extending CMM functionality.
SENMATION is based on a universal sensor switch and intelligent sensor module. Integrated into the CMM quill, SENMATION uses a mechanical loading system to engage the sensor without operator intervention. A built-in probe identification system recognizes the sensor immediately and checks its status, obviating the need to recalibrate between exchanges.
The data collected by each sensor resides in the same software file, giving users a comprehensive overview of the workpiece using the best sensor available for every surface and feature.
In addition to the HP-S-X5 HD, SENMATION accepts the motorized indexing probe head HH-AS-2.5 with HP-S-X1 scanning sensor, the HP-S-X5 3D scanning probe and the PRECITEC LR optical sensor for non-contact measurements on matte, reflective, glass or transparent material.
Initially launched on the Leitz PMM-Xi, SENMATION is now also available with new orders of the Leitz PMM-C placed via local Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence commercial operations and dealers.
