Renishaw, a market-leading supplier of metrology systems, will present cutting-edge coordinate measuring machine (CMM) solutions for improved production at EMO Hannover 2023 in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The REVO 5-axis multi-sensor CMM measurement system with its wide array of probes will be on display. The device offers automatic switching between surface finish measurement, touch-trigger, ultrasonic, and tactile scanning. Innovative 5-axis measuring technology maximizes CMM inspection capabilities with the REVO system’s architecture.
The REVO system enables manufacturers to greatly boost productivity by combining several sensors on the same CMM reference frame, which can also eliminate the requirement for additional specialized inspection equipment. By using a single machine, it is possible to avoid the delays and damage hazards that arise with moving parts between different inspection sites. Lower energy usage is achieved by minimizing scrap and improving shop floor layout by reducing part handling and mobility.
The REVO system’s 5-axis technology gives producers in the aerospace, automotive, medical, and other sectors an inspection solution that is future-proof. The CMM’s dynamic errors are minimized at extremely high measuring speeds by synchronizing the motion of the three CMM axes with the two axes of the measuring head. Additionally, it gives access to part features that are inaccessible to traditional 3-axis systems. The REVO system can thereby significantly shorten inspection cycle times, increase throughput, and ensure item quality.
Additionally, improved inspection capabilities help manufacturers refine their designs and make more intricate parts. Through the supply chain, this inspection flexibility enables the delivery of products that are more effective, perform better, and are more sustainable, as is the case with modern consumer electronics and electric automobiles.
Quality control on the shop floor
Quality control is transitioning from straightforward pass-or-fail checks to a much more worthwhile time investment where the data is actively used to fine-tune process control boundaries. In an automated shop floor setting, having inspection equipment run next to production equipment lowers part miles in the plant and enables real-time modifications. 5-axis inspection technologies that are adaptable and agile give a potent instrument that may be repeatedly used for every new design or product.
The REVO system is essential for bringing this revolutionary way of thinking to the shop floor and has the potential to play a significant role in the development of a more streamlined, effective, and economically viable manufacturing process.
“Manufacturers are now fully using the numerous advantages offered by the 5-axis inspection technologies of the REVO system. From the freedom to perform a variety of various inspection jobs, including surface roughness, to extremely quick throughput with automatic updates for machine tools. Gareth Tomkinson, Renishaw’s Business Development Manager for the CMM and Gauging Products Division, demonstrates that all of this can be done with just one CNC setup on a shop floor CMM.
MODUS™ metrology software for REVO® 5-axis systems
Software is a crucial component of the 5-axis measurement solution, and Renishaw’s MODUS metrology software continues to set the standard for high-performance industrial inspection. It offers an ideal foundation for the REVO multi-sensor measurement system’s performance.
For REVO sensors, the MODUS 1.12 software offers numerous flexibility and usability improvements. Within its specialized tools for reporting (MODUS CHART) and programming (MODUS Planning Suite), users can take advantage of strong new features.
Furthermore, by connecting directly to the Renishaw Central industrial connectivity and data platform, MODUS software improves the capacity to monitor operations. This makes it simple for a range of systems and processes to get data from Renishaw devices.
