The RenAM 500M metal 3D printer for serial production uses metal powder fusion technology. Highlights of the system include a Renishaw-designed and -engineered optical system with dynamic focussing, automated powder sieving and recirculation, a 500 W ytterbium fibre laser and patented high capacity dual filter SafeChange system.
The RVP vision measurement probe for use with the Revo-2 5-axis measurement system on CMMs increases the multi-sensor capability of Revo-2 by adding non-contact inspection to the existing touch-trigger, high-speed tactile scanning and surface finish measurement capability of the system.
Renishaw’s Intuo gauging software, now offered with the Equator system, is intended to simplify and automate the gauging of a wide variety of parts. The software is said to remove dependence on skilled operators. Renishaw is also launching the Equator Button Interface, with simple push-button controls for shop-floor operators, removing the need for a mouse and keyboard. The EBI can be operated by staff wearing gloves and is not affected by shop-floor contamination.
The Modus2 metrology software suite brings new levels of clarity and efficiency to the programming and operation of CMMs. It has been designed with usability in mind, including an innovative, easy-to-learn interface and faster programming, resulting in unprecedented levels of productivity with or without a CAD model. Further innovations include ‘Off Surface' motion technology, intelligent measurement strategies, automatic reporting and an interactive virtual CMM environment.
Renishaw will also be demonstrating its new linear diagonal measurement kit for its XL-80 laser measurement system, and its Sprint scanning system for CNC machine tools.
