Printheads are one of the most important components of any three-dimensional measuring machine (TMM)Its proper functioning directly influences the accuracy, productivity, and availability of the equipment. However, over time, wear and tear and recurring issues can affect its performance and generate unexpected costs.
If your printhead is giving you problems, it may be time to consider a technological upgrade.
How do you know if your printheads need to be replaced?
There are several symptoms that indicate that the print heads of an MMC may be reaching the end of their useful life:
- Loss of repeatability in measurements.
- Premature wear of mechanical components.
- Increase in incidents and unplanned stops.
- Difficulties in finding technical support or spare parts.
- Increasingly high maintenance costs.
When these situations are repeated, the machine's productivity decreases and the quality of the dimensional control processes may be compromised.
The importance of having reliable printheads
In industrial sectors where precision is critical, having reliable probe heads provides a competitive advantage. A robust probing system reduces downtime, improves machine availability, and ensures consistent inspection results.
For this reason, many companies are choosing to replace old equipment with more modern solutions that are widely implemented in the industry.
Trade-in program: upgrade your printhead with Renishaw PH10
For companies that use Hexagon Tesastar printheads or certain Zeiss models, Téciman Metrología offers a Renewal Plan with special conditions for replacement with a new Renishaw PH10 printhead.
The PH10 has become one of the benchmark standards in dimensional metrology thanks to its reliability, versatility and broad compatibility with different three-dimensional measuring machines.
The main advantages of the update include:
Greater operational reliability
The upgrade allows for a reduction in recurring incidents and improves the availability of the measuring equipment.
Independent support from the MMC manufacturer
Companies gain flexibility by not relying exclusively on the original machine manufacturer for hardware maintenance and support.
Technology established in the industry
The Renishaw PH10 printhead is a widely used and recognized solution known for its robustness and precision.
Specialized support
The update has the technical support of Téciman Metrología and Renishaw, two leading companies in the field of 3D metrology.
Is it worth replacing the print heads on your MMC?
If your equipment experiences frequent breakdowns, availability issues, or difficulties obtaining technical support, renewing may be a more cost-effective investment than continuing to bear increasing maintenance costs.
In addition to improving system reliability, a technological upgrade allows for extending the machine's lifespan and optimizing quality control processes.
