Renishaw to present smart technologies for process control

At IMTEX 2023, Renishaw will demonstrate how integrating smart factory process control can transform a machine shop's production capabilities, improving speed, ease-of-use and flexibility.

Renishaw provides solutions for tool setting, broken tool detection, component set-up, in-cycle gauging and first-off component inspection, with automatic offset updates. Probing is an established best practice for maximising the efficiency, quality, capability and accuracy of machine tools. Standard routines built into modern CNC controls simplify the integration of probing cycles into machining operations and offline tools. These routines, combined with a CAD interface, make the simulation of measurement functions easy.

Machine performance measurement and diagnosis is essential to establish a known and repeatable level of process capability. Renishaw's laser interferometer and ballbar measurement systems assess, monitor and improve the static and dynamic performance of machine tools, co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and other position-critical motion systems.

Renishaw will showcase its next-generation high-speed, high-accuracy probing systems for fast part set-up and machining process control. With the unique 3D sensor technology within the OSP60 probe, probing systems with SPRINT technology provide exceptional, high-speed, high-accuracy, probing to CNC machine tools.

Process control can be achieved with closed-loop feedback using Equator gauging data to update offsets directly on machine tool controls. Data from the Equator gauge can be used to update offsets repeatably and reliably, compensating for common causes of process instability, for example tool wear and thermal drift.

Renishaw's proven absolute encoder technology within an exceptionally robust enclosed design, FORTiS encoders deliver high performance measurement in the harshest of environments, offering significant benefits over conventional systems.

Renishaw will also showcase its high-accuracy laser tool setting systems. Featuring industry-first blue laser technology and improved optics, Renishaw's NC4+ Blue systems are available with an operating gap of up to 240 mm and deliver a step change in tool measurement accuracy, proven to industrial standards.

Besides, Renishaw will introduce ACS-1 ACS-1 (Advanced Calibration Sphere), which removes manual steps in machine tool probe calibration. Spindle probes for CNC machine tools can be highly repeatable, but their performance relies on accurate calibration. Renishaw has developed a simple solution to overcome the challenges associated with the manual probe calibration process while consistently achieving high levels of repeatability.

At IMTEX 2023, the company will also highlight following products:

  • Automated surface finish inspection: The SFP2 probe increases the surface finish measurement ability of the REVO 5-axis measurement system , which offers a multi-sensor capability providing touch-trigger, high-speed tactile scanning and non-contact vision measurement on a single CMM.
  • Ultra-compact strain gauge probe: Designed for small 5-axis machine tools, this ultra-compact strain gauge probe provides a reliable and precise touch-trigger solution for part setting, feature measurement and machine performance checking.
  • Machine tool probe technology: Smartphone apps provide information at a user's fingertips in a simple, convenient format. Renishaw has developed a range of smartphone apps for users of their machine tool probing hardware.
  • Faster and repeatable federates: SupaTouch technology intelligently determines the fastest feedrates a machine tool can achieve whilst ensuring repeatable measurement. Its smart in cycle decision making technology implements the quickest probing strategy (either one touch or two touch) for each measurement.
