ARRTSM & Renishaw Forge Partnership to Unveil Real‑Time 3D Touch Probe System
August 2018
ARRTSM GmbH is thrilled to announce a new partnership with global metrology leader Renishaw for the development and implementation of a real-time 3D touch‑probe system within coordinate measuring frameworks. This groundbreaking solution is designed to deliver 0.02 mm accuracy in real‑time workpiece inspection—blurring the line between “IST” (actual) and “SOLL” (target) dimensions.
Key Highlights
-
Realtime 3D Coordinate Measurement: ARRTSM’s proprietary probe, integrated with Renishaw’s robust metrology technology, enables instantaneous dimensional data capture during machining.
-
Ultra-High Precision: Achieves measurement accuracy down to 0.02 mm—ideal for tight tolerance inspection—aligning with best practices where measuring devices are 5–10× more precise than inspection tolerances.
-
IST/SOLL Quality Control: The system continuously compares actual (IST) results to intended (SOLL) specifications, allowing immediate detection and correction of deviations—boosting quality assurance and reducing scrap.
Why Renishaw?
Renishaw’s industry-leading touch‑probe solutions—such as the RMP600 strain‑gauge probe and RMP60 optical probe—are renowned for ultra‑precise measurement and radio/optical transmission. Their on‑machine scanning probes (e.g., OSP60 SPRINT) capture thousands of 3D data points per second with sub‑micron responsiveness perfectly aligning with ARRTSM’s innovation demands.
🛠 Applications & Benefits
-
Automated Workpiece Setup: Touch‑probe data calibrates coordinate systems, eliminating manual referencing.
-
In‑Process Monitoring: Real‑time IST vs. SOLL comparison ensures deviations are corrected immediately.
-
Full Traceability: Every measurement is recorded, supporting robust quality documentation.
-
Reduced Scrap & Downtime: Fast, automatic correction drives efficiency and minimizes reworking.
Renishaw probes have already proven their worth in industries like automotive—where OLP40 probes enable in‑process measurement control with accuracy under 0.02 mm, slashing rework by 80%
What’s Next?
-
Prototype Development: Integration of ARRTSM’s real-time probe with Renishaw systems in Q2 2018.
-
Pilot Deployments: Field testing at partner CNC machining and composite manufacturing facilities.
-
Scale-Up & Launch: Full commercial release with accompanying software for CNC/CMM integration by late 2018.
