Fixed and Manual Probe Heads
The MH20 is an ultra-compact manually adjustable probe head offering maximum flexibility in probe orientation. The full range of TP20 probe modules can be used via its integral probe mounting. The MH20 is incompatible with the MCR20.
| Probe mounting | TP20 kinematic mount |
| Head mounting | MS/T range of shanks |
| Suitable interfaces | PI4-2, PI200-3 or PI7-3 |
| Number of probe sockets | 1 |
| Probe status indication | 1 LED |
| Cable connection | 5 pin DIN 180° socket |
| A-axis indexing | Non-indexing swivel ±93° |
| B-axis indexing | Non-indexing swivel ±300° |
| Maximum extension bar | EM2 extension module – 75 mm (2.95 in) |
The MH20i offers the significant advantage of repeatable indexing positions, vastly improving productivity for multi-orientation measurement applications. The MH20i is incompatible with the MCR20.
| Probe mounting | TP20 kinematic mount |
| Head mounting | MS range of shanks |
| Suitable interfaces | PI4-2, PI200-3 or PI7-3 |
| Number of probe sockets | 1 |
| Probe status indication | 1 LED |
| Cable connection | 5 pin DIN 180° socket |
| A-axis indexing | 0° to 90° in 15° repeatable steps |
| B-axis indexing | 180° in 15° repeatable steps |
| Repeatability of position | 1.5μ (0.00006 in) with TP20 and 10 mm stylus |
| 2.5μ (0.00001 in) with EM2 extension module and 10 mm stylus | |
| Maximum extension bar | EM2 extension module – 75 mm (2.95 in) |
A manually indexable probe head with repeatable indexing, eliminating the need to requalify the stylus tip position after orientation. The MH8 can be used with the TP6 probe directly or with the TP20 probe with up to 50 mm extension. An easy upgrade, as there is no need for special software, cabling, or electronics.
| 2σ positional repeatability | 1.5 μm |

| Cable connection | 5 pin DIN type connector |
| A-axis indexing | 0° to 90° in 15° steps = 7 positions |
| B-axis indexing | ±180° in 15° steps = 24 positions |
| Total number of positions | 168 |
| Maximum support capability | TP6 mounted directly |
| TP20 with PEL1 50 mm extension | |
| Probe mounting | M8 bush |
| Mounting options | Shank to suit your CMM |
A manually indexable head, repeatable in 720 positions over two axes with LCD display, the MIH is designed for use with the autojoint TP6A touch probe and long extensions for large components. TP2, TP6, TP20 touch probes can be used with the addition of the PAA1 or PAA2 extensions.
| 2σ positional repeatability | 1 μm |
| Probe status indication | 1 LED |
| Cable connection | 5 pin DIN 180° socket |
| A-axis indexing | 105° to 0° in 15° in 7.5° steps = 15 positions |
| B-axis indexing | ±180° in 7.5° steps = 28 positions |
| Probe mounting | Autojoint |
