Program editor software extends CAD support
Active Editor Pro dramatically increases the number of users who can benefit from its simple programming style, by adding support for CAD models from a large variety of CAD formats.
The company's new pocket-sized guide is a useful reference source for both experienced users and those new to probe technologies for machine tools.
Featuring the range of applications for probes, solutions for different machine types and the proven business benefits, the new guide also gives details of Renishaw's latest hardware and software.
The guide explains why many businesses are still missing out on the benefits of probes, by continuing to spend significant time manually setting workpiece positions, manually setting tools and manually inspecting finished products; time that is better invested in machining.
It details how Renishaw's probing systems eliminate costly machine down-time and the scrapping of components associated with manual operations, ensuring that machines only produce good parts.
It also explains how probing eliminates the need for tool presetters, expensive fixtures and manual setting with dial indicators, with machine offsets adjusted automatically to compensate for tool length and diameter, work piece position and dimensional errors.
Also covered in the guide is Renishaw's twin-probe system which uses a single optical receiver for tool setting probes together with a spindle-mounted touch probe for component inspection, offering fast integration. Request a free brochure from Renishaw ...
