Renishaw will be featuring systems for assessing the performance of both three- and five-axis machine tools, plus products that increase machine tool automation, improve process control and allow advanced on-machine part verification at MACH 2010 (stand 5439).
 In addition to the range of featured products already announced, (listed below), Renishaw will be making further announcements in the run-up to MACH 2010.
Ultra-compact touch probes with radio signal transmission
Renishaw will demonstrate touch probe systems, that use its unique frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) probe signal radio transmission technology, to allow automated job set-up and in-process measurement on all sizes of CNC machine tools.
Multi-axis development for PC-based probe software
Measurement on multi-axis machine tools will be supported with the introduction of a new version of Renishaw's Productivity+ suite of PC-based probing software. A key improvement is a multi-axis option, supported by Renishaw's Rengage 3D technology-based touch probes, and ultra-compact radio probes.
Wireless ballbar allows volumetric testing of machine tools
The QC20-W ballbar is a completely new design featuring a Renishaw developed linear sensor and Bluetooth wireless technology, which also allows testing in 3 orthogonal planes, through a single reference point.
Automated health check for multi-axis machine tools
AxiSet Check-Up extends Renishaw's range of machine tool testing and calibration systems, with a cost-effective solution for checking the alignment and positioning performance of rotary axes.
Cost-effective CMM upgrades
Renishaw offers cost-effective CMM retrofits for all budgets and applications, from touch trigger probing and 3-axis scanning, through to the latest ultra-fast REVO five-axis measurement system.
Absolute optical encoder and 1 nm resolution incremental encoder
RESOLUTE is an absolute encoder capable of 27-bit resolution at 36,000 rpm, giving a resolution of just 1 nm at 100 m/s for both linear encoder and angle encoder applications.
