Renishaw, the world’s leading supplier of PC-based measurement software for CNC machine tools, is releasing Renishaw OMV Pro, a powerful package that works with touch probes to give advanced on-machine part verification and machine simulation capabilities. Building on the proven success of Renishaw OMV, the new Pro version adds advanced co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) style functionality including constructed features and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), whilst users of complex
Renishaw's new RLP40 and OLP40 lathe inspection probes offer a choice of signal transmission technologies, radio or optical, to make part set-up and inspection on turning centres accurate, simple and reliable. Measuring just 40 mm in diameter and 58.3 mm long, the probes provide uni-directional repeatability of 1µm and can be used to reduce set-up times, scrap, and fixture costs, while improving process control.
Boxtrees Precision Engineering use Renishaw probe systems on a Mazak Integrex in a clever fully-integrated ‘intelligent’ system that has achieved reduced unit costs, zero manual set-up times, unmanned machining, and consistent accuracy and cycle times
After the retrofit of Renishaw TRS2 tool recognition systems, SAME DEUTZ-FAHR, manufacturer of Lamborghini, SAME and DEUTZ-FAHR tractors, has seen a dramatic reduction in the time for essential but non-productive tool checking on four Mazak FMS cells.
In tough times, manufacturers focus on reducing their operating costs, but may not be able to afford to spend their way out by buying more productive machinery. With that pathway closed, what are the opportunities for radically reducing costs without replacing existing machines? This paper explores four areas where substantial savings can be found if firms are prepared to change the way they control their machining processes.
Martin Aerospace, a Rolls-Royce subcontractor, has employed high-accuracy Renishaw probes and a GSPS CNC Reporter™ process monitoring package to reduce machining lead times and improve consistency.
The latest machining technology is key to the success of B K Tooling, a small specialised tool making company, producing high accuracy mouldings like components for the innovative Aquapac.
Renishaw’s tool setting solution aids competitiveness at leading UK automotive supplier.
One of the most efficient suppliers to Nissan, UK, is Geo. W. King Ltd, where a high degree of manufacturing automation, including Renishaw probe systems, has been put in place.
Monitoring machine capability with Renishaw’s QC10 ballbar has proved crucial to TJW, a successful machining sub-contractor who specialise in the pharmaceutical and aerospace industries.
Nissan saves £250,000 and achieves zero scrap with Renishaw probe systems. With negative headlines often surrounding the Western car industry, it is easy to forget that major manufacturers continue to operate world-class volume vehicle production facilities in Western markets.
