Extended inspection capability

Reach the features that were harder to measure.

A redesigned A-axis kinematic mount supports longer and heavier probe configurations, adding 107 mm of reach compared with the original PH20.

New PE20 modules feature a larger kinematic interface and are available in multiple lengths, helping you configure the system for features deep inside components and other difficult-to-access areas.

The PH20 approach, extended

Proven measurement benefits.

Head-motion measurement

Renishaw’s head-motion technology minimizes CMM dynamic errors at higher measurement speeds, supporting efficient touch-trigger inspection.

Flexible positioning

Infinite 5-axis positioning gives you flexible access to features and greater freedom when planning measurement strategies.

Less calibration downtime

Inferred calibration routines and automatic probe-module changing help keep your inspection process moving.

For existing PH20 users

Build on the investment you already have.

PH20 PLUS is designed as a replacement for the original PH20, supporting continued use of existing part programs and measurement strategies. It can also be configured to match the effective working length of an existing PH20 installation.

  • Retain compatible TP20 modules: use existing TP20 modules through the PB20 adapter.
  • Keep established stylus configurations: preserve familiar tooling where the selected configuration allows.
  • Renishaw UCC integration: the system follows the same integration approach as the original PH20.

Compatibility note: the TP20 extended-force module is excluded. Contact Omni-Tech to review your CMM, controller, software, and probe configuration before selecting an upgrade.

Automatic module changing

A rack system that fits your application.

The new modular rack mounts to an MRS2 rail on the CMM bed or machine frame. Configurable TP20 change ports, temperature-controlled PE20 ports, and power-distribution connector modules support flexible inspection setups.

The powered PCR20 rack provides a standalone solution for holding multiple probe modules and accessories.

PH20 PLUS questions

How is the 300 mm working length measured?

It is measured from the center of the head’s A-axis with a 50 mm stylus, using an appropriate probe configuration. It is not a 300 mm stylus-length specification.

Can I reuse my existing TP20 modules?

PH20 PLUS supports existing TP20 modules through the PB20 adapter, excluding the extended-force module. Omni-Tech can help review your current module and stylus setup.

Can PH20 PLUS replace my current PH20?

Renishaw designed PH20 PLUS as a PH20 replacement, with support for existing programs and measurement strategies. Contact Omni-Tech to confirm the requirements for your particular machine and software installation.
