Renishaw Spotlights Process Control and Additive Manufacturing Solutions
Renishaw technologies aimed at helping global partners apply high levels of automation and connectivity to their production processes.
Renishaw technologies provide the data that enables intelligent decision-making for Industry 4.0. Machine calibration, on-machine measurement and off-machine gauging and verification allow manufacturers to optimize their processes and minimize quality problems and CNC machine stoppages. All of this is on display at the company's main booth in the Quality Assurance pavilion at IMTS2018.
IMTS attendees can see Renishaw's recently launched multi-laser system, RenAM 500Q, which can improve AM productivity by up to four times without increasing platform size. A new external powder silo option for its RenAM 500 family of additive manufacturing (AM) systems is also displayed in the booth as part of the company’s exhibit in the 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing pavilion.
Renishaw Inc. can be found in two locations here at IMTS. According to Jeff Seliga, marketing manager, the company is focusing primarily on its expertise in smart factory process control and additive manufacturing solutions—both hot topics in manufacturing today.
Quality Assurance – Booth 135509
On display at Renishaw’s main booth in the Quality Assurance pavilion is a high-productivity machining cell, featuring fully-integrated process control. Attendees can see how high levels of automation and connectivity can be incorporated into CNC machining operations to improve productivity and process capability.
It is also the place to see new advancements to Renishaw products like the Equator gaging system. The new Equator 500 gives users more flexibility in a wider range of applications for larger parts. The new IPC (intelligent process control) software automates process control and offset correction directly from any Equator gage to the CNC machine.
The latest developments in other Renishaw software, like MODUS 2 software for CMMs and Equator gaging systems, smartphone apps for on-machine probing and CNC controller-based apps for probing and reporting, are also on display.
Additive Manufacturing – Booth 431607
In the 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing pavilion, Renishaw is showcasing its latest AM system and software. The new multi-laser RenAM 500Q increases productivity in the most commonly-used machine platform size. The company’s suite of AM software includes QuantAM build preparation software, InfiniAM Central remote process monitoring, and InfiniAM Spectral for live feedback on energy input and emissions from the AM build process.
