News release: Renishaw technology helps bring further success for Olympic champion (pdf)

When reigning Olympic women’s two-man bobsleigh champion Sandra Kiriasis issued an appeal for help to manufacture blades that would meet her sport’s new regulations, world leading metrology company Renishaw rose to the challenge. Working with other manufacturing specialists, Siemens, Sescoi and Iscar, Renishaw used its latest measurement technologies, including the revolutionary REVO™ measuring head for co-ordinate measuring machines, to deliver a blade solution that saw Kiriasis dominate the 2006-2007 FIBT season, winning both the World Cup and World Championships.
