In conventional measurement methods the CMM performs all the
movements necessary to acquire the surface data. Acceleration
induces inertial deflections in the machine structure, which in
turn induce measurement errors.
Metrology system manufacturers have devoted years to develop
techniques that reduce those dynamic errors, but there is an upper
speed limit imposed by the machine and servo system stiffness
beyond which measurement cannot be taken with reliability.
Renscan5™ breaks through that limit by using an
articulating heads that moves in two rotary axes as it measures,
taking most of the dynamic workload whilst the machine moves at low
acceleration. This allows much faster surface speeds and hence
shorter measurement cycles.
5-axis scanning technology allows the user to achieve
unprecedented levels of throughput whilst still maintaining current
levels of metrology.
