Abstract

Renishaw, manufacturers of touch‐trigger probes and other metrology products, has eliminated the use of design drawings. CNC part programs are generated automatically and all CNC milling and turning work is produced on RAMTIC (Renishaw Automated Milling Turning and Inspection Centre), a line of machines operating continuously to tolerances down to 6μm without any post‐process inspection. Mark Buckingham, manufacturing development manager in the Metrology Division, explained the developments to Jack Hollingum.
