Renishaw offers an enhanced probing software package that automatically optimizes on-machine measurement cycles to minimize cycle time and maximize productivity. Inspection Plus with SupaTouch optimization uses intelligent in-cycle decision making to implement either a one- or two-touch probing strategy for each measurement routine and eliminates the need for manual optimization of on-machine positioning feedrates, measurement feedrates and strategies. It offers cycle time reduction of up to 60% on CNC machine tools compared with traditional software cycles, claims the company. Designed to ensure maximum accuracy, the software detects any measurements taken during machine acceleration or deceleration phases and compensates for errors by taking corrective action and remeasuring.
