  Application note: SPRINT™: Machine Health Check

  The SPRINT™ Machine Health Check application provides a unique solution for end-users and machine tool builders who are looking to design sustainable machining processes on 3-axis and 5-axis table/table milling centres. This application allows machine tool performance verification in less than one minute using a simple test based on the exceptionally accurate measurement capability of the SPRINT system.

  Technical note: Innovative frequency hopping (FHSS) radio transmission probe

  An inspection probe is used on a CNC machine tool to determine the location and orientation of parts during setting, and for inspecting the size and position of critical features for verification and process control. It does so by sensing a series of discrete points on the surface of the component. When the probes stylus meets the surface of the part, a trigger signal is generated. This signal must be passed to the CNC so that the position of the machine at that instant can be recorded.

  Technical note: Renishaw's strain gauge probing technology

  Since the invention of the touch trigger probe by Sir David McMurtry in 1972, probing has become a vital component of automated production processes on machine tools. This simple mechanism, employing a kinematic location to retain a stylus in a highly repeatable manner, has formed the basis of many Renishaw probes for over 30 years. Renishaw kinematic touch trigger probes continue to serve the manufacturing industry well, remain the markets best selling probing products by far, and are the first choice of the majority of end users and machine tool builders alike. The level of measuring performance and reliability of these probes must not be understated.

  White paper: Innovative frequency hopping radio transmission probe

  Inspection probes have become a vital contributor to manufacturing process efficiency, enabling rapid part set-up and batch changeover, plus part verification and in-process control of critical component dimensions. All spindle and turret-mounted probes need a means of signal transmission, with radio transmission being the most common on large machines and 5-axis machining centres. However, there are many challenges to the successful application of radio transmission in the factory, not least different local regulations and sources of interference from other radio-controlled equipment. In 2003, Renishaw introduced the world’s first frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio transmission for inspection probes, a robust, compact and universally applicable solution for probing on all but the smallest of machines.

  White paper: Innovative laser tool setting technology provides accuracy, flexibility and robust operation

  Laser systems for tool setting and broken tool detection on CNC machining centres have become popular in recent years as manufacturers realise the benefits of fast process set-ups and in-process feedback on tool condition, especially on small tools that cannot be measured using contact sensors.

  White paper: Innovations in touch-trigger probe sensor technology

  Since the invention of the touch-trigger probe in the 1970s, these devices have formed the main means of sensing for dimensional measurement on co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and machine tools. Scanning sensors are increasingly being used on CMMs to measure complex shapes and to characterise the form of prismatic components. However, touch-trigger sensors still have a major role to play in the inspection of component size and position on CMMs, and in workpiece set-up and in-process control on machine tools.
