Using machine tool probes for precision metrology in the manufacturing of forged wheel and car chassis

Using machine tool probes for precision metrology in the manufacturing of forged wheel and car chassis
The automotive industry is fiercely competitive. Tier-one car manufacturers are constantly looking for breakthroughs in areas such as performance, safety and innovative design, all of which places ever stricter requirements on the processing of metal components. SuperAlloy Industrial Company Ltd. (SAI) is a supplier of high-quality lightweight forged metal products. The forged wheel and car chassis components SAI produce are used by the world's top car manufacturers, thanks to the company's insistence on premium quality and precision manufacturing. Renishaw machine tool probe systems, including the OLP40, RMP60, OMP60, and the NC4, are a perfect match for SAI, allowing SAI, assisted by Renishaw, to make great progress on the route to high end precision manufacturing.

Thorlabs selects TONiC encoders for its motion stages after in-house testing

Thorlabs selects TONiC encoders for its motion stages after in-house testing
Thorlabs subjected Renishaw's TONiC encoders to a battery of tests in direct competition with other optical encoder brands. The TONiC series outperformed the competition in every test and was selected to equip both the Thorlabs DDS600 600 mm long travel stage and the MLS203 microscope stage. Mark Robson, Engineering Manager at Thorlabs Ltd, UK, emphasises: “Renishaw's TONiC series of encoders have enabled Thorlabs to deliver high-performance motion control products that our customers can depend upon. We evaluated TONiC, with respect to strict criteria, alongside other leading brands and found its performance to be best-in-class.”

Time based data capture software package

Time based data capture software package
Renishaw introduced Ballbar Trace at EMO 2015; a new time based data capture software package for the company's QC20-W ballbar which is used to verify the positioning performance of CNC machine tools. The new software is free of charge to existing QC20-W users and opens up many new applications, including static monitoring and data capture for ISO 10791-6, and also reduces test setup time for the system. To accompany Ballbar Trace a new version of XCal-View data analysis software will also be released to provide enhanced data analysis.
