Quality recognition

At the 10th Supplier award day organised by Gildemeister in Pfronten, Germany, Renishaw has received the Supplier of the Year 2009 award in the ‘Innovation' category.

Gerhard Lechner, Gildemeister's central purchasing manager emphasised in his address: “Innovation at this company is not just a word included in its logo, but something it lives and breathes through continuous technical innovation.”

The comments are referring to Renishaw's extensive range of metrology products designed to improve both quality and productivity. They also refer to Renishaw's international presence, which is aimed at establishing machine tool metrology in a more dynamic and integrated way and actively supporting its partners onsite.

“Top quality is easy to complement”, said Rainer Lotz, managing director of Renishaw GmbH. “DMG machines are renowned for their quality and performance and when used with our metrology systems, customers can gain significant advantages in terms of cost savings and productivity.”

The PowerProbe program is a joint creation between Renishaw and Gildemeister. PowerProbe products are already available for DMG and Mori Seiki machines and can be supplied in different sizes and with different technologies, depending on the machine and the measurement application.

Rengage, the strain gauge technology patented by Renishaw is also available within the PowerProbe range. This technology allows users to achieve highly precise measurements and monitor machining operations with low trigger forces.
