Renishaw showcases technologies for the factory of the future at IMTS 2022

Global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, will attend The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) from September 12th to 17th, 2022 at McCormick Place, Chicago. Across three booths, Renishaw will demonstrate how manufacturers can use the latest metrology and manufacturing equipment to digitalise their processes. It will showcase its latest end-to-end solutions for additive manufacturing (AM) on stand 433239. Visitors can discover the benefits of part measurement, machine calibration and motion control at the quality assurance stand on booth 135509 and Renishaw will also encourage the next generation of engineers with its educational booth on stand 215321.

Renishaw’s AM stand, in booth 433239, will highlight how manufacturers can benefit from using AM in the production process. By showcasing its range of additive manufacturing systems, including the RenAM 500Q and 500S. Both systems feature high power 500W lasers have precise and accurate capabilities in one or four lasers to help minimise build time.

On booth 135509, visitors can explore the benefits of the latest Renishaw technologies for part measurement, machine calibration and ensuring quality assurance. For example, at IMTS Renishaw will showcase the latest version of Renishaw’s XK10 alignment laser system software, which allows users to perform point-to-point parallelism measurements. The stand will also include range of modular metrology fixturing to hold parts securely on co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), Renishaw Equator™ gauging systems and vision systems and   new, ultrasonic thickness measurement using the multi-sensor REVO® system, as demonstrated on aerospace components.

“Attending IMTS enables visitors to realize our vision in action – how we enable the factory of the future today. Our innovative manufacturing technologies and expertise deliver on manufacturing precision, productivity, and practicality,” explained Denis Zayia, President at Renishaw Inc. “Renishaw is about to celebrate a significant milestone of supporting our customers for 50 years. As a world class manufacturer ourselves, we have faced the same manufacturing challenges as many of our customers. In those 50 years we have been able to overcome by implementing innovative strategies and products developed in house. Our consultative approach with customers allows us to share those experiences and offer them new perspectives.”

Additionally, Renishaw is participating in the Student Summit, a collection of educational booths for students to encourage them to consider an engineering career. On stand 215321, Renishaw will showcase its Equator™ gauge, which is used by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) to showcase its rapid gauging results. Renishaw is also providing educational packs to help students gain an insight into quality assurance and how important it is in the manufacturing process. Giving students the opportunity to learn about engineering technologies in person allows them to make an educated choice about their future career and engineering speciality. By exposing students to engineering throughout their education, the engineering industry can continue to attract a diverse group of people and make students aware it is a career choice available to them.
