RDS Sensor Carrier
The accuracy and range of motion offered by RDS is unparalleled by any other articulating system. RDS is also highly flexible: contact and optical sensors are also used with this sensor carrier.
The basis for maximum flexibility.
The best articulating probe holder in its class enables you to reach virtually all angles using many single positions.

The RDS articulating probe holder is particularly well-suited for measuring complex parts, where features require many styli with different spatial directions. It reaches up to 20,736 positions in 2.5-degree increments – therefore providing access to every part feature. This is made possible by the horizontally and perpendicularly allocated rotary axes with rotational ranges of plus/minus 180 degrees.

Furthermore, the RDS-CAA for touch-trigger sensors leads to shorter calibrating times: only a few spatial angle positions require calibration. Programming times are also reduced as the RDS can be easily positioned using the joystick on the control panel.
