Kick start your industrial automation journey with Renishaw Probing Systems

Industrial automation is transforming modern manufacturing by optimising workflows, eliminating bottlenecks, and reducing human intervention. A practical first step to this transformation is implementing Renishaw machine tool probing systems – a proven solution that enhances the productivity and efficiency of your existing CNC machines.

Why Choose Renishaw Probing System?

Reduce Setup Time and Boost Efficiency

Manual workpiece and tool setting takes time and risks operator error. With Renishaw CNC probing systems, setup and inspection are fully automated, cutting down preparation time and minimizing unnecessary machine downtime.

Minimize Scrap and Rework

Automated tool and workpiece setup significantly reduces errors while providing real-time process feedback. Renishaw probing systems help manufacturers achieve consistent quality control and scrap rates of less than 0.5%.

Ready for Lights-out Automation

Renishaw probing systems support full lights-out manufacturing, enabling 24/7 production without operator intervention. This boosts factory efficiency and ensures seamless integration into automated workflows.

Probing for manufacturing process control

Before machining

• Analyse workpiece location and alignment
• Measure tool size and offsets
• Prevent non-conforming components before cutting begins

During machining

• Compensate for tool wear and temperature variations
• Provide intelligent process feedback
• Maintain accuracy throughout the machining cycle

After machining

• Verify finished parts with in-cycle inspection
• Detect broken tools before the next cycle
• Reduce reliance on external inspection and costly fixtures

Benefits of Renishaw probing solutions

• Automatic part alignment and rotary axis set-up
• Tool setting and broken tool detection
• Standardised processes that allow you to take on higher-accuracy jobs
• Faster set-up times, reduced operator error, and greater confidence in machining

Summary

Renishaw Machine Tool Probing Systems are more than measurement tools — they are the gateway to industrial automation. By integrating probing into your CNC machines, you can increase efficiency, reduce waste, and unlock the full potential of your production assets.
