Wenzel Liberty package delivers 5-axis CMM capability
Wenzel Liberty is a new 5-axis coordinate measuring machine package that can be added to any new CMM in the Wenzel range.
Liberty seamlessly integrates into a single package the new Renishaw PH20 infinite indexing probe head, the Renishaw UCC2 motion controller and the next generation of OpenDMIS metrology software.
The package offers customers the revolutionary new CMM function of 'Head Touches' where measurement points are taken by moving the probe head rather than the CMM structure.
Using only the rapid rotary motion of the head, points can be taken faster, and with improved accuracy and repeatability. Unlike conventional CMM measurement methods, which rely on speeding up the CMM motion to measure quickly, Liberty utilises the probe head motion to minimize the potential dynamic errors of the CMM at higher measurement speeds.
