RENI apply innovation On-machine probing solutions

Time spent manually setting workpiece positions and inspecting finished products impacts manufacturing performance and profitability. Using a probing system eliminates costly machine down-time and the scrapping of components associated with manual setting and inspection. Wireless interface Increase throughput from your existing assets Enhance your capability and take on more work If your machines are overloaded then you could face a sizeable capital investment to make up the shortfall, a large sub-contract bill, or even have to turn away profitable work. What if you could extract more throughput...

Superior metrology for superior parts Accuracy is the main reason we use Renishaw technology. I don’t think we could do half of what we do without their probes. Tridan Engineering (UK) High-accuracy probes with RENGAGE™ technology With unbeatable 3D measurement capability and submicron repeatability, Renishaw’s family of machine tool probes with RENGAGE™ technology combines precise silicon strain gauge sensors with ultra-compact electronics to deliver superior performance. Excelling in the measurement of complex shapes and contours, probes with RENGAGE technology are ideally suited to applications...

Technologies explained RENGAGE™ technology Micro kinematics RENGAGE technology combines proven silicon strain gauge technology with ultra-compact electronics allowing on-machine probing systems to achieve outstanding 3D measurement capability and sub-micron repeatability. RMP24-micro uses Renishaw’s popular kinematic resistive probe design in micro form to achieve market-leading metrology performance for a wireless machine tool probe in this size category. As the strain gauges are independent from the kinematic mechanism, probes with RENGAGE technology have an ultra-low trigger force, providing...

Probes and CNC controllers communicate bidirectionally. This communication is handled by a transmission system, the choice of which depends on the probe, the machine type and application. Renishaw probes use three main types of transmission systems: optical and radio (both of which are wireless), and hard-wired (connected directly to the machine tool controller via a cable). Probes designed for small to large machine tools where there is line-of-sight between the probe and receiver. Transmitting at a distance up to six metres, optical transmission is a secure, robust, and well-proven transmission...

Unmatched performance Probe specifications 3D performance All touch trigger probes have lobing errors due to stylus flexing and probe mechanism movement. While these errors can be calibrated out in 2D applications. In 3D applications - such as the inspection of free-form parts - a probe with RENGAGE technology is beneficial due to its low pre-travel variation. The strain gauge sensors in RENGAGE probes produce a trigger signal well before the kinematic mechanism moves. This eliminates 90% of lobing errors and provides a superior 3D performance when compared to other probing technology. Ultra-low...

Powerful probing software A comprehensive range of software applications offers diverse programming, analysis, and reporting options. From traditional macro-based solutions to graphical CAD/CAM-style applications, the choice of programming, analysis, and reporting options makes on-machine scanning an accessible solution irrespective of your experience level. Probe Setup app The Probe Setup app is used to review and configure probe settings or to partner a radio probe with an RMI-Q or RMI-QE interface. Simple menus and animations guide the user through the Opti-Logic™ process. Inspection Plus...

it Tackle process variation at source, and reap the rewards The higher the degree of human involvement in the manufacturing process, the higher the risk of error. Automated in-process measurement using Renishaw probes can help eliminate the risk. RENGAGE™ technology facilitates the following controls for enhanced management of production processes, leading to an increase in profits. For further details regarding the benefits of all levels of process control within the Productive Process Pyramid™, visit With this probe, we can process wise, be in line with the adjustments we need for the process....
