Renishaw has announced that it is extending its probe and software products with new systems for CNC lathes and other machine tools where line-of-sight issues cause difficulties or optical signal transmission.

The organisation has been introducting new touch probe systems that use its unique frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) probe signal radio transmission technology, meaning that automated job set-up and in-process measurement on all sizes of CNCmachine tools is possible.

Renishaw's newest offering, the ultra-compact RMP40 probe, is suited to multi-axis and milling machine or turning centre applications, while the RLP40 touch probe is designed for "more hostile" turning environments.

The company emphasised: "These new products reinforce Renishaw's world leading range of probe systems and probing software, which bring a range of user benefits including reduced set-up times, reduced scrap, reduced fixture costs and improved process control."

An innovator in metrology, the organisation has and continues to enable measurements to be taken to accurate international specifications through its technology.
