Aim – To study Renishaw Revo – 2 CMM

machine Theory:
For more than 40 years, Renishaw has delivered innovations that have been
milestones in industrial metrology. From the original touch-trigger probe and
motorised indexing head, repeatable stylus changing and modular scanning
systems, Renishaw sensors for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are an
industry standard.
The 5-axis measurement product range represents the biggest step-change in
measurement capability ever introduced, delivering unprecedented speed and
measurement flexibility, whilst avoiding the speed versus accuracy
compromises inherent in conventional techniques. Whether the REVO
scanning or the PH20 touch-trigger, Renishaw's 5-axis systems boost
measurement throughput, minimise lead times and give manufacturers a more
comprehensive appreciation of the quality of their products.
REVO 2
A highly accurate dynamic measuring head and probe system which maximises
measurement throughput.
High-speed measurement...
 Up to 500 mm/sec resulting in increased part throughput
 Data collection rates up to 4,000 points per second
 Infinite positioning and five-axis motion reduces non-productive
transitions between features
 Rapid calibration with all positions inferred means more time measuring
...with high system accuracy
 5-axis scanning minimises CMM motion and the associated dynamic
errors
 Stylus wear minimised by extremely low scanning forces
 Infinite positioning and five-axis motion aid access to difficult features
 Flexible tip sensing further adds to the systems' accuracy and flexibility
...and great flexibility
 Maximum reach up to 800 mm from centre of head rotation
 Multi-sensor probe and stylus changing capability
 Renishaw UCC server software application (based on I++ DME command
protocol) provides the interface for REVO-2 control
 The removable probe system, used in conjunction with a low cost
changer, provides added system flexibility
Software
Renishaw's metrology software provides a powerful platform for 5-axis
measurement. A configurable user interface allows native DMIS programs to
be developed offline, drawing geometry, embedded dimensions and tolerance
data from CAD, with full simulation and collision detection. The software
includes certified algorithms for feature measurement, feature construction
and part alignment.
Programs can be created offline directly from CAD with on-screen probe path
verification. The CMM environment, the fixture and the location of the part on
the machine can all be defined, enabling full simulation and crash detection of
5-axis measurement programs. This minimises CMM down-time as programs
arrive at the machine ready to run, with little or no prove-out time required.
Measuring Circularity error
 Define origin in software for the REVO 2
 Define two planes
 Put the stylus on four or more points for point measurement of
roundness. The measured value is calculated by least-squares method,
where the sum of the deviations from all measurement points is the
smallest.
