All metrology machines can now integrate the Renishaw Revo

While Renishaw did have the technology ready to enter the market, many customers interested in implementing it in their systems of measurement required a specific software to your machine for three-dimensional measurement which limited the implementation of this technology. Precisely for this reason, Renishaw has launched new software Modus for MMC that includes the measurement in 5-axis which allows a reduction of the truly spectacular measurement time. "After so much effort and 60 million euros invested in this new technology, we could not save it in a drawer", Victor Escobar pointed out during a press conference last February. "We intend that the client acquires a level of superior technology without having to invest in new machines".

The new software for MMC Modus that provides customers of machines of measure for coordinates is a solution to 'retrofit' complete installed machines, with distribution and technical service of Renishaw. Fully compatible with the full range of sensors, including the award-winning Revo, Modus provides a powerful platform for 5-axis measurement. Its main functions include: programming offline based on CAD with full simulation of movement and collision detection, including paths on five axes; compatibility with DMIS; approved mathematical algorithms; generation of complete reports of text and graphics; by providing a flexible results output. All governed by the universal control UCC2 for MMC developed Renishaw managed through the I ++ SMD interface.

All brands of MMC users now have the opportunity to increase the performance of their measurements by updating to the innovative systems of metrology of Renishaw. The company now offers a comprehensive range for the MMC already installed, based on the universal MMC control UCC2 and the new software of Metrology for MMC Modus. With the combination of the unique range of sensors of shot by contact, exploration and 5-axis and the recent investments in staff and the accreditation UKAS, Renishaw has assembled all the elements to develop a powerful business division focused on the 'retrofit' of already installed MMC.

Although the exclusive system of measurement of 5-axis Renishaw Revo has been available through Mitutoyo, Wenzel, Dukin and Metris for a time, until now, users of other machines not could take advantage of this revolutionary technology. The operational benefits of increased productivity, reduced under measurement and preparation times and greater automation of the tasks of measurement are now available to users on any machine MMC.

According to Jordi Blanco, new product manager of the Division of Renishaw Iberian MMC, "while the structures of MMC are not subject to wear and tear, software, sensors or controls become obsolete and in addition, the measurement needs also change"for example, in the automotive and aeronautics. "Now Revo, can be integrated into structures of outdated and heavy machinery", he stated. And it is that more and more industries requiring the measurement on five axes, as aerospace or automotive addition "at a breakneck speed and with the quality of contact," said Escobar.

The roughness does not keep secrets for Revo

One of the advantages that most appreciates the user, and sometimes is the main motivation for buying, is its ability to measurement of the roughness and even in inaccessible places during the measuring cycle, Jordi Blanco pointed out during the presentation. "We are taking productivity also the three-dimensional machine", he concludes.

In addition, Renishaw intends to expand its range to its Revo line, integrating specific products for every need.

In addition to Jordi Blanco and to support the new draft, Renishaw will have a new application engineer "will develop applications tailored to the needs of the client, who may be in situ advantages and great productive difference you will get with Revo". The Revo technology is currently installed in numerous companies of automotive, aeronautical, manufacturers of motorcycles, etc.

Renishaw with neurosurgery and the dental sector

Renishaw Iberian is also the first branch in promoting your product for the dental sector for what has enabled a new area to be equipped with a new dental scanner demonstrations at its facilities in Pallejà. This is a range of complete solutions for laboratories prosthetists in zirconia, one of the best materials for prosthetic use.

But not only the dental sector can benefit from the technology of measurement of the British company. Now also target the field of neurosurgery, selling equipment to stimulate your brain with high precision metrology. There are robots dedicated to this type of operations that require a high degree of accuracy.
