Manufacturing benefits from faster
measurements
Speed is the important factor in measurement and in imoroiving machining times, such as using a compact laser interferometer measurement system or a 5-axis head for CMMs.
At EMO 2007, Renishaw will show a compact laser interferometer measurement system, a 5-axis head for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and a tool recognition system An interesting feature on the Renishaw stand will be a champion bobsleigh, which has a blade design that benefitted from Renishaw measurement systems

* products on show - the Renishaw XL-80 is a compact laser interferometer measurement system.
It offers portability, performance and ease of use.
For CMM users, the REVO 5-axis measuring head and probe system, when fitted to machines originally equipped with 3-axis systems, can improve inspection throughput levels by up to 900%.
On machine tools, the Renishaw TRS2 tool recognition system detects broken tools in under 1s.
There is also the RMP600 compact, high accuracy touch probe with radio signal transmission.
This probe can reduce inspection times when measuring complex 3D part geometries on all sizes of machining centres.
Renishaw's twin-probe system uses a single optical receiver for tool setting probes.
It works together with a spindle-mounted touch probe for component inspection.
The system consists of the OMP40-2 touch probe and Renishaw OTS cable-less tool setter.
The system can be used for machine tools having twin pallets or rotary tables.
Machine tool builders should have a look at, Renishaw's SiGNUM non-contact RESM angle encoder.
The device has a large through-hole so it can be used to obtain high-speed data feedback on machine tool rotary axes.
The SiGNUM non-contact RESM angle encoder also has the FANUC serial communications.
The REXM angle encoder offers angular measurement better than +/-1 arc sec of total installed accuracy.
Renishaw said that the device also has zero coupling losses and exceptional repeatability. Request a free brochure from Renishaw ...
