Renishaw

For more than 40 years, Renishaw has delivered innovations that have been milestones in industrial metrology. From the original touch-trigger probe and motorised indexing head, repeatable stylus changing and modular scanning systems, Renishaw sensors for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are an industry standard.

The 5-axis measurement product range represents the biggest step-change in measurement capability ever introduced, delivering unprecedented speed and measurement flexibility, whilst avoiding the speed versus accuracy compromises inherent in conventional techniques. Whether the REVO scanning or the PH20 touch-trigger, Renishaw’s 5-axis systems boost measurement throughput, minimise lead times and give manufacturers a more comprehensive appreciation of the quality of their products.

To control manufacturing processes on the shop floor, gauges have been used for decades, for example sets of callipers, go / no-go gauges or bore gauges. With advances in manufacturing, the need for new process control methods is increasing.

The Equator system is a flexible gauge, designed to provide speed, repeatability and ease of use for manual or automated applications, which is why hundreds of manufacturers worldwide are replacing their current gauging method with Equator systems.

Using Renishaw fixtures can improve the throughput, reproducibility and accuracy of your inspection process with quick and repeatable fixturing set-ups.

Whether you are inspecting parts for aerospace, automotive, electronics, industrial or medical applications, Renishaw fixtures can provide a complete solution to your fixturing requirements and help to improve your inspection processes.

Renishaw’s laser interferometer and ballbar measurement systems assess, monitor and improve the static and dynamic performance of machine tools, co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and other position-critical motion systems.

Our products should, therefore, be considered as the first step in process improvement and are complementary to the on-machine and off-machine probing systems.

Probing is an established best practice for maximising the efficiency, quality, capability and accuracy of machine tools. Standard routines built into modern CNC controls simplify the integration of probing cycles into machining operations and offline tools. These routines, combined with a CAD interface, make the simulation of measurement functions easy.

Renishaw probes deliver significant cost savings, and improvements in quality, for all applications using machine tools throughout many industries.

Renishaw offers a comprehensive range of precision-engineered styli and stylus accessories.
