Renishaw Probe and Tool Measurement
Renishaw’s probing and tool measurement ecosystem delivers automated process control at every stage of the machining cycle – from workpiece set-up and in-cycle gauging through to tool setting and broken tool detection.
Touch-trigger probes, scanning probes, tool setters, and detection systems work together with macro-based and PC software to feed real-time offset corrections directly to the CNC controller – reducing scrap, eliminating manual intervention, and enabling extended lights-out production.
Renishaw Range of Probing and Tool Measurement Systems
Machine Tool Probes
Renishaw’s machine tool probe range automates measurement at every stage of the machining cycle, from first-touch workpiece alignment through to final in-cycle verification, all designed for reliable performance in harsh shopfloor conditions.
- Probes for workpiece set-up and inspection: Touch-trigger and scanning probes for automated alignment and in-cycle gauging at the spindle
- Tool setters: Contact and non-contact systems that measure tool length, diameter, and wear with automatic offset correction
- Broken tool detection: Fast detection systems that identify breakage or absence between operations to prevent scrap
- Probing and tool setting software: Macro-based and PC-driven applications that programme routines and update offsets without manual intervention
