Renishaw launches new RCS line of industrial automation products

Renishaw has introduced a new RCS product line designed for the industrial automation market. The product line focusses on the problems associated with manual set-up, calibration, and maintenance of robots, such as operational accuracy and repeatability.

The range includes three products: RCS L-90, RCS T-90, and RCS P-series, all supported by a dedicated software suite. RCS L-90 is a ballbar device that improves robot system accuracy, reduces deployment time, and monitors robot health with simple routines controlled by its supporting software suite. RCS T-90 is a tri-ballbar system which enables robot users to identify root causes of poor performance, with further comprehensive tests to capture critical robot information. The third RCS product, RCS P-series, integrates a permanent Renishaw probing solution within a robot cell to apply in-process metrology and automatic recovery to automation processes.

Categorized as either in-field or in-process products, the new products simplify robot set-up, health checks, and recovery of robotic applications following collisions, according to the company.
