Renishaw has announced that it will launch its SPRINT high-speed contact scanning system for CNC machine tools soon. The SPRINT system incorporates a new generation of on-machine scanning technology that will deliver a step-change in the benefits of process control, enabling fast and accurate form and profile data capture from both prismatic and complex 3D components.
The SPRINT machine tool scanning system has been designed to provide a game-changing capability for high value CNC manufacturing processes. For blade manufacture, the system provides unprecedented capability for blade tip refurbishment and root blending applications.
At the core of the SPRINT system is the revolutionary OSP60 scanning probe. The OSP60 probe has an analogue sensor with 0.1 μm resolution in three dimensions, providing exceptional accuracy and the greatest understanding of workpiece form. Measurement functionality such as part run out, machine centreline and circularity, also serves to significantly enhance the manufacturing capability of multi-tasking machine tools.
