Renishaw receives the Gildemeister Supplier of the Year 2009 Award

Gerhard Lechner, central purchasing manager, said: "Innovation at this company is not just a word included in its logo, but something it lives and breathes through continuous technical innovation. Here, the spirit of innovation reaches far beyond pure technology and a whole host of innovative ideas are incorporated in its business relations, which clearly drive joint business interests forward". What these comments refer to is the world's most extensive range of machine tool metrology products to improve both quality and productivity. It also refers to Renishaw's international presence, which is aimed at establishing machine tool metrology in a more dynamic and integrated way and actively supporting its partners on-site The PowerProbe program is a joint creation between Renishaw and Gildemeister, with PowerProbe products, such as the DMG Mori Seiki PowerProbe 40 Optical, supplied by Renishaw and equivalent to an OMP 40, already available for DMG and Mori Seiki machines. The range can be supplied in different sizes and with different technologies, depending on the machine and the measurement application. Rengage, the unique strain gauge technology patented by Renishaw and already a recipient of numerous awards, is also available within the PowerProbe range. This technology allows users to achieve highly precise measurements and monitor machining operations with very low trigger forces, and is claimed to be the most precise workpiece measurement probe technology available. Through its global presence, both in terms of sales, application and service, Renishaw is an ideal partner for international companies. Both the machine builder and the machine user benefit from its technical knowledge, fast service times and comprehensive worldwide support.
