Machine Metrology

We offer a Comprehensive Machine Tool Calibration Service using the latest laser technology by-
Renishaw logo

We have a renowned research group specialising in the improvement of accuracy of CNC machine tools.

We have a complete Renishaw Gold Standard laser kit for linear, angular and rotary measurement with the latest software for machine tool calibration.

Renishaw Gold Standard laser kit

Applications of the Renishaw ML10 Laser
The Renishaw ML 10 laser provides the following functions –

To measure the positioning accuracy to a resolution of 1 μm of any linear axis, horizontal, vertical or sloping up to 40 metres in length

To correct the positioning accuracy by means of software (where the facility is present in the CNC) of any linear axis, horizontal, vertical or sloping up to 40 metres in length

To measure the straightness to a resolution of 1 μm of any linear axis, horizontal, vertical or sloping up to 40 metres in length

To measure the angular displacement (pitch & yaw) to a resolution of 0.01 arc seconds of any linear axis, horizontal, vertical or sloping up to 40 metres in length – Maximum angle +/- 10 degrees

To monitor the velocity of any linear axis, horizontal, vertical or sloping up to 40 metres in length

To measure the positioning accuracy of any rotary axis thro’ 360 degrees (when used with rotary axis calibrator accessory)

To analyse and present the gathered data in many formats to meet national and international standards

Applications of the Renishaw Ballbar
To quickly monitor the performance of CNC machine tools for purposes of Quality Assurance/Certification, Predictive Maintenance and Troubleshooting/ Fault Diagnosis.

The Renishaw Ballbar is the benchmark test for virtually all CNC machine tools because it gives immediate certification of accuracy and / or diagnosis of potential problems.
