MachiningCloud represents a new channel through which Renishaw will provide their customers with the digital product data needed to run today's data-hungry shop software. Through the partnership, the product data for Renishaw's family of Machine Tool Probes will be published on MachiningCloud, providing the companies' mutual customers with a new method to select and configure their machine tool probes.
Renishaw's customers will also have immediate access to download up-to-date 3D CAD models of their probing components and assemblies for use in their CNC programming and G-Code simulation software.
Says MachiningCloud director of product management Christophe Rogazy: "Our partnership ensures that Renishaw customers are a click away from complete and up-to-date product data, which directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of their workflow."
Adds Derek Marshall, director and general manager for the Machine Tool Products Division at Renishaw: "Renishaw is very excited about our collaboration with MachiningCloud. Users now recognise the vital role that probing plays when implementing layers of control into their manufacturing processes. As such, the use of probes is being designed in from the start whilst the process is still fluid. To enable flexible planning, it's essential to have quick and easy access to product data. The MachiningCloud platform delivers this and encourages users to think about process control techniques at the earliest possible stage."
