NC Service, a Swedish machine tool calibration and maintenance company, who work with key CNC machine users, was one of the first users worldwide to take delivery of Renishaw's QC20-W ballbar. The new design eliminates issues with the previous QC10 when used on large machines or where its data cable had to be fed through machine guarding.

Automotive component manufacturers have to guarantee consistently high machining accuracy in large batches. ZBG Zerspanungstechnik Bruck GmbH in Bruck, Oberpfalz, Germany, achieves this with the aid of the NC4 laser tool setting system from Renishaw. With this system, the machining centre checks cutting tools for wear or damage, and also determines their length to compensate automatically for any possible thermal growth of the machines in operation.

NC3 facemill insert check
An NC3 non-contact laser tool setter is used to check the condition of the inserts in a face mill. At first the tool is spun at high speed to perform a general length check. This is followed by a cycle where the tool is spun more slowly so that each insert can be checked to see that it is within a preset tolerance of [352 x 288 pixels] [0.96 MB] NC3 MicroHole video
