Stonehouse - new machine shop
'Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense.' - wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay 'Art', more than one hundred years before the Japanese were credited with introducing the concept of common sense to the 'art' of manufacturing. [28 kB] Reducing lead times on Citizen lathes
A revolutionary new approach to setting and controlling complex machining processes on sliding head lathes has been developed by Renishaw on Citizen lathes located within its Stonehouse machine shop. Currently on trial this new approach to on-machine probing is helping Renishaw benefit from dramatically reduced set times and the confidence to run ‘lights out’ on even the most sophisticated parts. [21 kB] Manufacturing
The new facility at Stonehouse has enabled Renishaw's Manufacturing Services Division (MSD) to plan the layout of the Group's piece part manufacturing operations within the 80,000 ft sq of factory space. The refurbishment, which commenced in April 2005, was completed in December 2005. [11 kB] Probing beyond prismatic

We were recently very pleased to host Travis Egan and Don Kline from the respected US publishing company Gardner Publications, who are based in Cincinatti, Ohio. Still a family run business (Don’s great grandfather Don Gardner founded the business in 1928), they are responsible for an extensive stable of... Renishaw announces expansion plans
In response to increased demand for its measurement and healthcare products, Renishaw, the UK-based engineering company, is announcing a series of initiatives designed to provide the additional capacity required for its anticipated business growth over the longer term. These include the acquisition of the soon to be vacant Bosch manufacturing facility, located to the west of Cardiff, Wales, and the submission of planning applications to extend three of its existing facilities in Gloucestershire. [13 kB] Blog: Probing questions
Touch probes for machine tools are amazingly flexible tools, offering a range of application possibilities that are often only limited by a user’s knowledge and imagination. The most common uses are for part and fixture setting, but increasingly due to enhanced designs and ever more powerful software they are... Blog: Teaching an old dog new tricks
It’s increasingly rare to find machine tool users who are not using probing on their CNC machines , or are at least aware of their potential – many of our case studies are from manufacturers who are adding more systems into factories where managers are already sold on the benefits, upgrading existing... CMTS 2009 to see focus on machine tool and CMM utilization
ew touch probes and probe software that increase machine tool automation, improve process control and allow advanced on-machine part verification, will be a major feature of Renishaw’s booth (24020) at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show (CMTS) taking place in Toronto from 19th to 22nd October 2009. Renishaw’s new retrofit service for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) will also be profiled, including MODUS™ the company’s first metrology software. [20 kB] OMI-2T
