en.Wedoany.com Reported - Renishaw has officially launched the Equator-X dual-mode gauging system, a precision measurement device designed for deployment on the shop floor. This product supports two operating modes: absolute measurement and comparative measurement. It can operate directly in the manufacturing workshop without the need for a temperature-controlled laboratory environment, making it suitable for production scenarios with a wide variety of workpieces and frequent design changes.
In applications such as new energy electric drive housing inspection, the Equator-X can be deployed directly on the shop floor. Compared to traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), its inspection efficiency is increased by approximately two times, while equipment investment costs and laboratory energy consumption are simultaneously reduced. During the launch event, Renishaw arranged for its robot "Raybao" to introduce the product features to the audience, with interactive sessions held multiple times throughout the day.
Several other precision measurement solutions were unveiled alongside the Equator-X. The Equator 300 comparator, paired with the TP20 probe module, reduced the measurement cycle time for radiator pin inspection from 48 minutes with a traditional CMM to 6 minutes. The AGILITY five-axis measurement system shortened the inspection time for 12 pairs of seat ring valve seat holes in cylinder blocks and heads from 29 minutes to 3 minutes and 42 seconds. This system adopts a five-axis simultaneous motion architecture, keeping the part static during measurement to reduce rotary table positioning errors. A single stylus can cover all dimensions to be measured.
In terms of machine tool integration and calibration, the exhibited products covered micro wireless probes, sealed linear encoder systems, blue light tool setters, and calibration equipment such as the QC20 ballbar and XM-60 multi-beam laser interferometer. The Renishaw Central data platform was also released simultaneously for collecting and presenting shop floor process data and precision measurement data. On-site application demonstrations were provided for the RCS series products for industrial robot accuracy calibration.
Renishaw's launch event, themed "Smart Measurement for the Future, One Step Ahead," showcased integrated application solutions for precision measurement technology at the shop floor level to users in the manufacturing sector.
