Hi All,
First time on the forum, hence a newbie question.
We are in the process of procuring a new CMM machine. We are a small machine shop with 3 VMCs doing largely prismatic parts for now, but hoping to move on to bigger/more complex parts as well as we are not completely loaded currently.
We have decided to go in for a CMM machine and have spoken to Zeiss and Hexagon folks.
Hexagon have offered their Chroma range with PH10M probe.
Ziess have quoted for XDT probe with RDS-C5 Head for indexed holes. When we said that their price was too high they offered to offer the same with TP20 probe or XDT Direkt without the RDS-C5 for the same price as Hexagon.
My question.
Is the price demamded by Zeiss for the XDT probe (over the TP20) justified (around $3K-$4K). Why s the XDT better than the TP20 if both are touch trigger probes ?
Thanks In Advance
Sid
