Arm yourself against waste and variation Waste is the first enemy of productivity and profit.
Waste is to be found in activities that consume time and resources, but which do not add value, or which result in scrap parts.
You are only adding value when you are machining a part that meets specification.
The thousands of companies who use Renishaw probing save DAYS not seconds by reducing set-up times and eliminating machine downtime through automated feedback.
Variation is the second enemy of manufacturing efficiency.
By controlling and reducing variation in your manufacturing processes, you can reduce WASTE and improve your productivity and profits.
The QC10 ballbar allows you to monitor the variation in your machine's performance, in a 10-minute check easily done by your operators.
The Ballbar 5 software diagnoses machine problems, allowing corrections operators can make themselves, which are often the difference between scrap and quality parts.
Seminar content, dates and venues The seminars will include Machine tool probing for part set-up and tool setting Calibration systems to check and optimise machine performance When to use scanning or touch trigger probing on your CMM There will be opportunities to view active displays of the latest systems.
Attendees will also have a tour of the venue and the chance to win a special prize.
