Calibration service provider works faster & smarter to create more revenueWorking around a client's production schedule is often problematic but the XL-80's ease of operation also gives short set-up and calibration times, avoiding disruption to machine production. Additionally, the optional XC-80 environmental compensator eliminates factory environment influences which can affect measurement accuracy.
Ultimately, machined components can only be as accurate as the machine that produces them. Therefore, it is crucial for production companies to control the accuracy of their machines, be they machining centres, lathes, borers, laser cutters, water jet cutting machines or CMMs . This is the only way they can guarantee the quality demanded by industry, particularly if they manufacture components for the aerospace or automotive industries. Also, many customers now demand that machining subcontractors document and provide certified evidence of machine accuracy that conforms to international standards.
To meet this increasing demand, many production companies and smaller machine manufacturers find it easier and more cost effective to have their machines measured and tested by service providers like Geo Tec Messtechnik, based near Stuttgart in southern Germany, using laser interferometer systems.
Brief history
For over 30 years, Renishaw has been an innovator in metrology, the science of measurement, enabling measurements to be taken to international standards.
The company's first product, the touch-trigger probe had been invented by David McMurtry, now Sir David McMurtry, Chairman and Chief Executive, to solve a specific inspection requirement for the Olympus engines used on Concorde. The first Renishaw company was established in 1973 by him and John Deer, now Deputy Chairman.�This innovative product went on to revolutionise post-process inspection of machined components.
Continuing innovation
Today, Renishaw is leading another measurement revolution!
The first product to take advantage of Renscan5™ technology is REVO™, the first in a family of measuring head and probe systems, which has redefined the industry standard for scanning systems on co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
Inspection throughput is maximised whilst a high level of system accuracy is maintained. In relatively new market sectors for the company, Renishaw's expertise in precision manufacturing has already influenced the dental market and the way restorations are carried out.
The company continues to work with the bio-medical profession in the analysis of organic and inorganic substances and how the analysis itself is undertaken. Each of the Group's Products Divisions has provided a mission statement to reinforce its contribution to the Group's overall operations.
 | Manual probe heads Manual probe heads A range of fixed and manually adjustable heads that connect a touch-trigger probe to the machine quill, allowing flexible inspection of complex components. |
 | ML10 measurement system ML10 measurement system |
 | Motorised heads Motorised heads enable automated, repeatable re-orientation of probes to allow access to features on all faces of the part, improving the capability of the CMM and maximising productivity. |
 | Renscan5™ REVO™ is a dynamic new measuring head and probe system from Renishaw. A revolutionary new product designed to maximise CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy. |
 | RX10 rotary axis calibration In line with the fundamental importance of rotary axis accuracy, recent national and international standards have made strong provision for their measurement |
 | Touch-trigger probes Touch-trigger probes measure discrete points, making them ideal for inspection of 3-dimensional geometric parts. Renishaw provides a comprehensive range of systems to meet the application needs and budget constraints of all users, from simple feature checks on manually operated CMMs, to complex part measurement on high-speed computer controlled machines. |
