Renishaw
Renishaw has pioneered machine tool probing since inventing the touch-trigger probe in 1973. With offices in 36 countries and over five decades of precision engineering expertise, the company delivers workpiece inspection probes, tool setters, broken tool detectors, and probing software that automate setup, in-cycle gauging, and quality verification directly on CNC machines.
Manufacturers across sub-Saharan Africa access the full Renishaw machine tool probing range through B&R 3D Solutions, complete with installation, configuration, and technical support.
Probing and Tool Measurement for CNC Machine Tools
Renishaw probing systems work before, during, and after machining to automate component setup, update offsets in-cycle, and verify finished parts without removing them from the machine. This eliminates manual intervention, reduces scrap, and keeps spindles cutting.
- Workpiece inspection probes for automated part setup and in-cycle gauging on milling machines and lathes
- Tool setters that measure tool length and diameter automatically, applying offset corrections before cutting begins
- Broken tool detection systems that identify tool failure immediately, preventing damage to workpieces and machines
- Macro and PC-based probing software that drives measurement routines and integrates results into your machining process
