3- and 5-axis machine tools, and a new 5-axis probe head for CMMs that can give up to a three-fold increase in throughput for touch-trigger measurement. There will also be demonstrations of Renishaw's latest incremental and absolute encoders for precision motion control.
QC20-W is a new wireless ballbar used for the assessment of machine tool positioning and servo control performance. It replaces the QC10 ballbar and now features Bluetooth wireless technology and the ability to produce a representative volumetric measurement of positioning accuracy. Also shown will be AxiSet Check-Up – a new automated solution that allows users of 5-axis and mill/turn machine tools to quickly check the alignment and positioning performance of rotary axes.
The new PH20 5-axis head offers innovative ‘head touches' for rapid touch-trigger measurement, plus fast infinite 5-axis positioning to guarantee optimal feature access. Its compact design makes it suitable for new CMM purchases and as a retrofit to the vast majority of existing CMM touch-trigger installations.
New encoder products at Southern Manufacturing will include the RESOLUTE absolute optical encoder that is capable of 1nm resolution at speeds up to 100m/s. New additions to Renishaw's TONiC range of incremental optical linear and rotary encoders include 1nm resolution options, UHV compatible formats, and a Dual Signal Interface (DSi) version.
