50 years of Renishaw

Celebrated at the end of July in Turin, in the fascinating setting of the Automobile Museum, the day dedicated to the first 50 years of Renishaw’s activity was an opportunity to retrace the milestones of a success which, over the decades, has never faltered.

During the day, the new products that the English company will be exhibiting at EMO scheduled at Hanover from 18 to 23 September were presented.

Specialised in metrology, process control and additive manufacturing, Renishaw’s offer is based on its industrial automation solutions such as the Renishaw Central smart manufacturing platform, which makes it possible to digitalise, visualise and therefore control work and measurement processes with a reduction of production stoppages of up to 69%, confirming how Renishaw technologies are the ideal tool for improving productivity, eliminating human error and optimising production processes.

Looking then at products for machine calibration, a core business of the company right from the company’s beginning, there is the new 4.8 version of the CARTO software package, with the support for the Renishaw XM-60 multi-axis calibration system which improves the monitoring of precision machines. CARTO, combined with one of the Renishaw multilaser systems for high-productivity additive manufacturing (AM), permits the manufacture of precision components.

Finally, there is the FORTiS™ encapsulated encoders, which help manufacturers to produce machine tools conforming to high standards in full compliance with environmental standards.
