System virtually eliminates measurement errors

The system integrates Renscan5, an advanced five-axis machine control

algorithm, REVO, an ultra-high-speed infinite-positioning measuring

head with a first-ever laser-corrected probe, and a second generation

UCC2 universal CMM controller. The Renscan5 enabling technology allows

the development of a range of breakthrough five-axis scanning products

that measure at speeds up to 500 mm/sec (vs. standard practice of 10-20

mm/sec.), while virtually eliminating the measurement errors normally

associated with existing three-axis scanning systems. The five-axis

system achieves this by allowing the smaller and lighter REVO measuring

head to perform most of the motion during inspection routines,

minimizing the dynamic errors caused by the mass of the moving CMM

structure.
