At the IMTEX 2015 exhibition Renishaw will highlight a range of process control solutions that help tackle the increasing drive to lean manufacturing, from new technologies for pre-process machine calibration to on-line and off-line post-process measurement. There will also be a significant focus on the company’s additive manufacturing (3D printing) systems with the new PlusPac upgrade for its AM250 additive manufacturing machine.
Major new introductions include a high-speed contact scanning system for CNC machine tools, a family of products for the measurement of aerospace blades, a new range of modular fixtures for metrology applications, and a miniature encoder system. The company will also have active demonstrations of its 5-axes scanning technology for CMMs, plus a demonstration of its Equator gauging system in an automated production cell, together with new process monitoring software.
Renishaw is the UK’s only manufacturer of a machine that ‘prints’ metal parts and visitors to the Renishaw stand (hall 4 stand B106) will be able to see applications that demonstrate the capabilities of the company’s additive manufacturing technology, including the world’s first 3D printed metal bike frame.
