ARRTSM GmbH is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Renishaw, a global leader in precision metrology, to develop and deploy a real-time 3D touch-probe system for coordinate measuring and autonomous manufacturing environments.
The joint solution enables real-time dimensional inspection with accuracy down to 0.02 mm, effectively closing the gap between IST (actual) and SOLL (target) dimensions during machining.
Key Highlights
Real-Time 3D Coordinate Measurement
ARRTSM’s proprietary probe technology, integrated with Renishaw’s metrology systems, enables instantaneous capture of dimensional data directly during machining operations.
Ultra-High Precision
The system achieves measurement accuracy of 0.02 mm, aligning with best practices where measuring instruments are significantly more precise than inspection tolerances.
IST / SOLL Quality Control
Continuous comparison between actual and target geometry allows immediate detection and correction of deviations—enhancing quality assurance and reducing scrap.
Why Renishaw
Renishaw is renowned for its industry-leading touch-probe technologies, including:
- RMP600 strain-gauge probes
- RMP60 optical probes
- OSP60 SPRINT on-machine scanning probes
These systems deliver ultra-fast, high-resolution 3D data capture with sub-micron responsiveness, making them an ideal foundation for ARRTSM’s autonomous inspection vision.
Renishaw probes are already proven in demanding industries such as automotive manufacturing, where in-process measurement accuracy below 0.02 mm has reduced rework rates by up to 80 percent.
