Scanning probes speed form-data collection and feedback to machining cells, reduceCMM fixturing and cut probe calibration time from hours to minutes at Kawasaki's Maryville, MOplant. Increased measurement throughput and flexibility allow faster feedback to manufacturingand the R&D department, while scanning CMMs may ultimately eliminate inspection systems forgears and cam lift. [27 kB] CMM retrofit service launched at Control 2009
Renishaw announced a series of major new initiatives at Control 2009, including its first CMM retrofit service, and MODUS™, its first metrology software. There was also strong interest in a new probe that allows surface finish inspection within a standard CMM programme, plus the latest linear magnetic encoder technology and a new true absolute optical encoder for rotary and linear applications.

Renishaw is delighted with the response to the first REVO seminars, held in September and attended by engineers from automotive, aerospace and subcontract manufacturing. Comments from attendees included - ¢We have to implement this technology within the coming year to cope with the demand for inspection...The software is far easier to program than I thought...We will be testing REVO as part of our next CMM evaluation¢ [15 kB] New sensor allows fully automated surface finish measurement on co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs)
Renishaw has added a new probe option for its revolutionary REVO® five-axis measurement system, which for the first time, allows surface finish inspection to be fully integrated within CMM measurement routines. With a measurement capability of 6.3 to 0.05 Ra, the SFP1 surface finish probe provides a unique ‘single platform’ that will eliminate the need for hand-held sensors, or the necessity to move parts to costly dedicated surface finish measuring machines.

In so many aspects of our lives there is a trade-off between speed and accuracy – play a musical instrument faster and invariably you produce duff notes; get your shots faster away on the firing range and see those target holes drift; serve a tennis ball faster and struggle to avoid that net. In the world of... Blog: Why measure on machine tools? Don’t ask us!
At the EMO Hannover exhibition in 1977, a Renishaw machine tool touch probe was shown on a milling machine by Kearney and Trecker for what we believe to be the first time at a trade show. Over the past 30 years these sensors, whether contact or laser-based, have become widely accepted as the most efficient way to... Blog: Seriously compressed inspection times
We recently spoke about the benefits that REVO, our revolutionary five-axis measuring system for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), is bringing to manufacturers. Whilst many companies are unwilling to go public about these benefits due to commercial sensitivities, one that has is GE Oil and Gas in Florence, Italy. Upgrade any CMM
