AGILITY CMM by Renishaw – Precision, Speed and Flexibility for Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is entering a new era of electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles. Quality inspection of components has become increasingly complex, demanding the highest standards of Precision, Speed, and Flexibility.

Challenges for Automotive Component Manufacturers

• Components with complex geometries such as stators, electric motors, and engine blocks
• The need for faster inspection without compromising accuracy
• The requirement for dimensional measurement, scanning, and surface finish analysis in a single workflow

AGILITY CMM – Precision, Speed and Flexibility in One Solution

The Renishaw AGILITY CMM is a 5-axis coordinate measuring machine (CMM) developed to address the critical pain points of automotive component manufacturers.

Precision – Superior Accuracy

Infinite positioning of the REVO scanning head

AGILITY CMM breaks through the dynamic performance barrier with 5-axis measurement technology. Its high-speed performance — up to 500 mm/s — provides exceptional throughput without compromising accuracy.

Speed – Faster Cycle Times

With 15% to 50% cycle time savings compared to conventional 3-axis systems, the AGILITY CMM shortens inspection time while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Flexibility – Adaptable to Every Production Line

Multi-sensor capability for total flexibility.

The AGILITY CMM integrates various sensors on a single platform for comprehensive inspection. It allows manufacturers to choose the optimum tool to measure multiple features — all on a single CMM system.

Real-World Application – EV Motor Stator Inspection

• RSP2 Scanning Probe: Measures inner/outer diameters and weld height
• RVP Vision Probe: Inspects insulation height without disturbing delicate components
• SFP2 Surface Finish Probe: Automates surface finish inspection, replacing manual processes

Result: Complete inspection in a single program, reducing steps, labor costs, and time while maintaining the highest quality standards.
