Revolutionary Metrology Solution with REVO-2

26.04.16 - WENZEL coordinate measuring machines in combination with the innovative REVO-2 probe system from Renishaw achieve revolutionary scanning speeds compared to conventional solutions.

The system offers an excellent measuring flexibility without loss of accuracy. When measuring valve seats and guides of a cylinder head, a throughput increase of 690% compared to 3-axis scanning has been achieved.

REVO-2 offers enhanced power and communications capability. The head also has an increased range of movement in the negative A-axis which can improve part access and reduce the complexity of stylus setups.

REVO-2 is the only scanning system for CMMs that simultaneously controls the motion of three machine and two head axes whilst collecting workpiece data using its tactile probes and surface roughness measurement probes. The head’s novel design incorporates sophisticated laser measurement and electrical signal transmission technology for precise workpiece measurement at extremely high rates of data capture. The five-axis control system removes most of the unwanted dynamic errors. By using the REVO-2, the need for a variety of stylus configurations and probe changes is made unnecessary.
