On-Machine Scanning

[Jim at Gentex]

Is anyone using this Renishaw 'Sprint' on-machine contact scanning system?

The 'adaptive machining' capability of this looks like exactly what I need, but I was just wondering if anyone had any practical experience with it.
The literature says it is compatible with Renishaw's Productivity Plus software, so I was also wondering if that applied to the Mastercam add-on version or the standalone version of Productivity Plus.

Depending on what you need, the lower level is compatible with InspectionPlus. The high level is not IIRC.

A little late to signing up here, but nothing involving sprint or constant-contact probing will be make it into P+ that CNC integrate any time soon.  There's very different development paths and the integrated version is sort of stuck at the level it's at.

Thanks for the info, Aaron, and welcome aboard!

I don't know anything about this but is it possible to manually integrate this into a Mastercam post like you would with a standard touch probe?

Possibly using a multiaxis path with some post mods? This would be fun to try. Anyone have sample code for the scanning? I feel like the feedback loop part of the process with the best fit for the point cloud is where a post mod might stumble to accomplish....
