New probes of contact and software that increases the automation of machine tools, improved process control, tube allows an advanced verification of the piece in machine will be the main features of the Renishaw stand at the fair Emo in Milan. Visitors who have offline measurement products will have the opportunity to discuss the new retrofit service Renishaw for machines of measurement of coordinates (MMC), including Modus, the first software of metrology of the company and a new solution of high speed for valve seat and guide measurements.

There will also be a range of new products for motion control, including a real absolute Optical Encoder for linear and Rotary applications and a unique system of rule for linear encoder mounted on guide.

Ultracompactas contact probes with signal by radio transmission

Renishaw will introduce in the Emo new probe systems by contact using its exclusive vultures of jump of frequency spectrum (FHSS) technology to allow for automated configuration and measurements during the process in all types of machine tool CNC. The new compact ultra probe RMP40 is particularly suitable for multiple axes and applications of milling and turning, while its variant, the RLP40 contact probe is designed specifically for turning in the most hostile environments. A RMP40M module only transmission also occurs.

New development of several axes for probe software for PC

The measurement in machine tools of various areas is ready for a big leap forward with the introduction of the new software package for PC Productivity + of Renishaw probe. A key improvement is the new choice for several shafts that allows a greater creativity and efficiency in the machining processes, be supported by probes touch of technology 3D Rengage of Renishaw and new probes of radio ultracompactasprovides process engineers and operators a wide range of solutions tailored to the process. The option for multiple axes Productivity + will be presented at the fair Emo 2009 as a free technology assessment for new customers and subscribers of maintenance contracts to use different configurations of the machine.

New function of measurement and reporting

Renishaw has also launched a new version of its software Renishaw OMV Pro, a powerful package that works with contact probes to provide an advanced verification of pieces on the machine and provide simulation capabilities. Now compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, Renishaw OMV Pro 2.02 adds more advanced features in the style of coordinate measuring machines (MMC) with a wider range of functions of geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD & T), as well as the ability to work with multiple alignments into one programvery useful for users of complex machine tools of various areas. Similar to the more basic version of the Renishaw OMV, the new version of Renishaw OMV Pro software allows users of contact of machine tool probes to quickly verify the accuracy of parts of free-form and parts in Prism with a clear format of generation of reports that make the software accessible to the staff of the workshop.

Profitable updates for MMC and measurement of valve seat

Renishaw also focuses on manufacturers who suffer the bottlenecks of the inspection and maintain long occupied their expensive machines and his staff while awaiting vital outcomes. Visitors of Emo Milan will see how Renishaw provides cost-effective retrofits of MMC for all budgets and applications, from the measuring probes by contact and exploration in 3 axis until the last and ultrafast measurement on five axes Revo system. The company offers a solution to update 'integrated whole', from its new Modus metrology software and its universal driver for MMC to the calibration of the sensors and the machine.

Measurement of guides and the valve seat has traditionally been a challenge, requiring long that often commit the results and methods are not suitable for the task to perform. With the latest technology in five areas of Renishaw measurement it is now possible to collect very quickly large amount of data using Adaptive helical and technical explorations of exploration. With the new Revo-compatible metrology software packages, automated analysis provides a range of data from attribute, as the error of form of the valve seat, the profile of circularity of the seat to any specified height, wear and tear on the seat with respect to the axis of the hole in the Guide and the concentricidad between the Guide and the seat.

Absolute Optical Encoder and guide to encoder rule

Resolute is a true system of absolute Optical Encoder with an excellent immunity to dirt and impressive specifications that open up new paths in the position information. Visitors of the Emo 2009 will see that this is the first absolute encoder in the world with a resolution of 27 bits to 36,000 rpm, providing an amazing leader resolution on the market of only 1 nanometer to 100 meters per secondboth linear and angular applications. Large tolerances of configuration make possible easy installation and a high reliability, while its low volatility and SDE (subdivisional error) respond to the needs of high-precision stages. Visitors who have products in the range of encóderes will also see how Fastrack is a "revolutionary rule system mounted on guide for linear encoder of Renishaw that combines a precision of +/-5 µm/m with the robustness of the stainless steel", and the quick and easy installation of a system of this type encoder. Designed for applications requiring high precision and an easily removable rule, rule Fastrack system is composed of two robust Rails guide miniature that they strongly hold the new rules of low profile and allow them to expand freely, according to its coefficient of thermal expansion, with a nearly zero hysteresis. If it deteriorates, the rule can disassemble the rails and replaced quickly, even in an area of difficult access, reducing, therefore, the time machine.
