Renishaw's REVO 5-axis measuring system, for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), has won the Platinum Award for the Most Innovative Product at the ENGIMACH 2010 exhibition held in Gujurat, India.

One of India's leading events for machine tool technologies, the award for REVO was achieved against strong competition, with entry open to any of the 1,000 exhibitors participating at the event. This is the third innovation award REVO has won, In 2008 REVO was judged, the Best Quality Control Product or System by an independent panel of industry experts who described the measuring system as an "absolutely brilliant idea, which speeds the measurement of complex component shapes." Also in 2008, the REVO 5-axis measuring system won a Micron d'Or (Golden Micron) award for innovation in the Production Tool and Instruments category at the international Micronora exhibition held in France. As an example of REVO benefits, TURBOCAM, a manufacturer of five-axis turbomachinery, has seen its inspection programming time, set-up time and measurement time reduce by 50 per cent and more since installing the system.
