Highlights

CMM retrofitRenishaw retrofit

NEW 'one stop shop' CMM upgrade service, based around Renishaw's universal CMM controller and new MODUS™ CMM software. Give your CMMs a new lease of life!

 

Breaking new ground in position feedback, this absolute encoder is capable of 1 nanometre resolution at speeds up to 100 m/s.

 

White paper: At the sharp end - a guide to stylus selectionWhite paper: choosing CMM styli

New white paper advises co-ordinate measuring machine users about stylus selection, noting that poor selection can impact measurement accuracy.  

QC20-W and centre pivotQC20-W wireless ballbar

Replaces the QC10 ballbar - Bluetooth® technology, greatly enhanced testing and analysis capability (including volumetric).  Available as a new kit and special upgrade for existing QC10 users.
