A measurement revolution 5-axis measurement technology For more than 30 years, Renishaw has delivered innovations that have been milestones in industrial metrology, from the original touch-trigger probe and motorised indexing head, to repeatable stylus changing and modular scanning systems. Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement technology represents the biggest step-change in measurement capability that we have ever introduced, resulting from the biggest research and development program that we have ever undertaken. What is 5-axis measurement? Based on advanced head, sensor and control technology,...

Increase throughput Reduce measurement cycle times without compromising accuracy The ultimate scanning speed of a CMM is limited by machine dynamics, typically to between 80 and 150 mm/sec. However, long before we reach this limit, measurement accuracy falls away – often limiting the effective maximum measuring speed to between 10 and 25 mm/sec. • eliminate bottlenecks • rapid process feedback • high speed head and How? sensor calibration Non-linear motion on a Cartesian CMM induces accelerations and decelerations that twist and deflect the machine structure, and these dynamic deflections...

A measurement revolution Renishaw’s unique 5-axis measuring features Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement technology allows you to replicate your current measurement strategies – only much faster and also produces new scanning techniques. Bores can be measured using touch points, circular scans or helical scans, whilst data on contoured surfaces and edges can be captured with a sweeping motion of the head. Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement technology not only makes new ways of scanning possible, but also allows you to replicate your current measurement strategies, faster than before. 5-axis scanning...

5-axis measurement controller technology The motion controller is a vital factor governing the performance of any CMM. Renishaw’s UCC controllers provide the powerful platform for 5-axis measurement systems, bringing unprecedented flexibility and productivity to CMM users. The UCC is designed to meet the exacting demands of 5-axis scanning and the processing of 4,000 data points per second at speeds of up to 500 mm/sec. It also provides smooth, simultaneous motion of the CMM and head axes ensuring minimal dynamic deflection of the CMM structure for optimal metrology performance. Renishaw’s...

A measurement revolution GMEC – Geometric machine error compensation The UCCSuite includes a complete set of tools to identify and maintain the geometrical quality of the CMM. The geometric compensation model (error map) includes the well known 18 compensation functions and 3 squareness errors. Further compensation for horizontal arm machines and large dual drive machines is also included. Data acquisition The error map data acquisition software can utilise a comprehensive set of devices such as the Renishaw XL80 laser, electronic levels, Renishaw Machine Checking Gauge (MCG), straight edge...

Retrofits Renishaw’s 5-axis measurement technology can provide a new lease of life to your existing CMM Measurement is vital to any manufacturing business, providing essential information to control processes and verify products. But older co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can become bottlenecks if they fail to keep pace with changing measurement needs. In the current climate, upgrading makes good economic and environmental sense. Most CMM structures are not subject to high levels of wear and so remain perfectly serviceable for many years. As 5-axis measurement places no additional...

PH20 – 5-axis touch trigger system PH20 – use your head! The 5-axis technology pioneered by Renishaw’s award-winning REVO® is now available for touch-trigger applications with dramatic impact on inspection timescales, costs, capability and flexibility on all sizes of CMM. Increased throughput PH20’s unique head touches allow measurement points to be taken by moving only the 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. Furthermore, 5-axis motion eliminates time spent indexing the...

PH20 – 5-axis touch trigger system Faster calibration The unique ‘inferred calibration’ technique developed for PH20 determines the head orientation and probe position in a single operation, allowing subsequent measurement at any head angle. These dramatic time savings accumulate as the calibration process is repeated on a regular basis to comply with quality procedures or following a probe crash. Available with your new CMM or as retrofit to existing equipment Compact design – suitable • for a wide range of CMMs using shank or quill mounting Renishaw CMM • controller – I++DME...
