Renishaw Central.
Renishaw will showcase a selection of technologies that aim to provide improved performance accuracy and reliability at IMTS 2024. Additionally, the company will also exhibit its new line of products for industrial automation as well as Renishaw Central.
The metrology specialist wants attendees to leave its quality assurance booth understanding what the company can do to help innovate its customers' processes. Meanwhile, Renishaw’s second booth, focusing on additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, will showcase its new TEMPUS technology and new RenAM 500 Ultra metal AM system.
“Manufacturers worldwide — ourselves included — are facing multiple challenges to increase automation and become more productive, competitive and sustainable while overcoming skills shortages and major technology shifts in the automotive industry,” said Dan Skulan, General Manager – Industrial Metrology at Renishaw Inc. “We're looking forward to showcasing our wide range of technologies for smart manufacturing, process automation and increased digitalisation around CNC machining. Visitors to our Quality Assurance booth at IMTS will discover our innovative solutions for shopfloor metrology and consolidating end-to-end process data for closed-loop CNC automation, manufacturing traceability and ongoing process and product optimisation.”
What Renishaw is showcasing at IMTS 2024:
- Renishaw Central – A manufacturing connectivity and data platform that allows users to monitor and update machining and quality control systems. The solution aims to improve productivity by reducing automation stoppages.
- The RCS L-90, RCS T-90, and RCS P-series - All three products claim to be easy to set up, provide health checks, and recover robotic applications if collisions occur.
- TEMPUS – Utilising advanced scanning algorithms, the technology maximises productivity whilst still maintaining quality assurance levels. TEMPUS is particularly useful in metal additive part production applications.
- RenAM 500 Ultra metal AM system – Combining reduced build times and detailed build insights, the RenAM 500 Ultra aims to improve cost-effectiveness and reliability levels. This system also comes with TEMPUS as standard.
- REVO 5-axis multi-sensor system – Designed with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) in mind, this system is ideal for applications requiring complex inspection processes.
- RMP24-micro – Renishaw refers to this solution as the “world’s smallest wireless machine tool probe,” and it can measure objects that are 24 mm in diameter and 31.4 mm in length.
- Updated CARTO software suite (version 4.8) – Now supported by the Renishaw XM-60 multi-axis calibrator to enhance the monitoring of precision machinery.
- FORTiS enclosed encoders – Claims to help machine tool builders develop machines which will meet high performance and environmental standards.
Renishaw at IMTS 2024.
Across the six days of IMTS in Chicago, Renishaw hopes to demonstrate how manufacturers can use its tools to improve precision, speed, and productivity throughout the manufacturing process.
“Our success over 50 years has been built on providing robust and reliable products that solve manufacturing problems across a wide range of industry sectors,” said Will Lee, Chief Executive at Renishaw. “We're seeing customers struggle to reduce production errors and material waste and wanted to provide them with automated tools to better connect data across the various production stages. That way, customers don't need to compromise on speed, accuracy or flexibility. Our solutions can demonstrate the role of newer technologies, such as AM, in the future of manufacturing and how its technologies can help meet sustainability goals.”
You can find Renishaw in two locations at this year’s IMTS show. The company’s quality assurance exhibit can be found at booth 134314. Whereas its AM technologies can be located at booth 433239.
