AGILITY® CMMs with 5-axis technology
AGILITY® CMMs deliver REVO® 5-axis measurement speed, accuracy and flexibility to the shop floor and the lab, with Renishaw's manufacturing quality and innovative technology.
AGILITY S 5-axis multi-sensor CMMs for the shop floor
Designed for shop floor environments
The S range of CMMs provides the ability to accurately measure parts in shop floor environments without temperature control. The rapid data capture speeds provided by 5-axis measurement reduce inspection cycle times, helping production departments keep pace with high volume manufacture. The systems work well in both stand-alone and fully automated production lines.
Rapid results at the point of manufacture
Results are captured at, or close to the point of manufacture, so production decisions can be made much faster. This replaces the traditional method of routing parts to centralised inspection facilities, reducing time and cost to the part and the risk associated with part handling.
Reducing operations
The multi-sensor capability of the system allows users to combine multiple checks in one automated part program. This gives production departments the ability to report on dimensional features and surface roughness callouts. AGILITY CMMs therefore minimise footprint and simplify measurement processes.
AGILITY L CMMs with 5-axis multi-sensor technology for laboratories
Premium accuracy
The L range of CMMs delivers the performance needed by manufacturers operating in the top end of aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and other precision engineering sectors. The most accurate machine has sub-micron accuracy, and even the largest L 163512 is specified at under 2 µm.
High throughput
The 5-axis functionality helps meet the throughput challenges of a machine operating in a controlled environment as an integral part of the manufacturing process. Fast inspection turnaround of development parts and production samples ensures verification is as efficient as possible.
Ultimate multi-sensor flexibility
Combining the infinite positioning of the REVO probe head with the most comprehensive range of sensors, AGILITY L machines are an ideal platform for developing new products and manufacturing processes. The surface finish probe will reach features previously inaccessible. The non-contact sensors will capture surface data without touching the part. The ultrasonic thickness probe simplifies inspection routines and often eliminates the need for part reorientation.
A range of CMMs with enhanced reliability, capability and precision
The range of AGILITY CMMs enhances the design and production capabilities of manufacturers globally. The machines provide a first-class metrology solution to meet the demanding performance requirements of manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, medical and many other safety-critical industries.
Renishaw also provides CMM probes, software and retrofits to ensure solutions to a range of manufacturing issues.
Designed for reliability
Maximum uptime and performance
Renishaw Lightning Drive™ brushless linear motors deliver smooth, backlash-free axial motion without complicated drive belt mechanisms that can wear over time. Friction and noise are significantly reduced, providing unrivalled reliability and performance.
Reduced maintenance and extended life
Renishaw's UCC 5-axis control system minimises machine motion throughout the inspection cycle. This allows the REVO head to do most of the work, removing detrimental accelerations and decelerations of the machine structure.
Environmental protection
AGILITY CMMs feature elevated and enclosed Y-axis drive systems to protect components from airborne contaminants in uncontrolled environments. The drive system's location also keeps the machine's loading area free from critical metrology components that could be accidentally damaged.
Designed for capability
Flexible rack positioning
Multiple mounting positions on AGILITY CMMs offer complete flexibility when choosing locations for rack systems.
Additionally, a side-mounted option provides a clear pathway through the machine for loading systems.
Fully usable measuring volume
AGILITY S shop floor CMMs have variants with a raised working space to allow the use of loading systems or rotary tables without reducing the available measuring volume.
Designed using Renishaw's precision technology
Perfect positioning
Renishaw's VIONiC™ readheads and thermally stable scale, with precision temperature sensors, minimise thermal error throughout the measuring volume.
Industry-leading calibration and verification
All AGILITY CMMs are mapped, verified and serviced using Renishaw's XM-600 or XL-80 calibration systems.
Optimal material selection
The use of granite for the stationary parts of the frame gives AGILITY CMMs excellent strength and vibration-damping characteristics. The dynamic metrology elements, made of anodised aluminium, ensure accurate metrology across the full range of axis motion by eliminating differential expansion or bending.
Optimised for REVO system performance
The REVO 5-axis multi-sensor system delivers high-performance scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis on a single CMM. Using synchronised motion and 5-axis measurement technology, REVO systems minimise the dynamic effects of CMM motion by doing the fast-demanding movements whilst the CMM moves smoothly and linearly.
The benefits of REVO 5-axis technology have been proven in a wide range of industries and applications, including automotive and aerospace.
