Five-axis CMM inspection saves time

摘要

KAWASAKI'S US small engine manufacturing plant in Maryville is utilising two 5-axis scanning probe systems to reduce CMM inspection and probe calibration times, and speed up QC feedback for machining of small engine components. The 5-axis Renishaw Revo systems, installed on Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex 121210 CMMs, replaced two PH10 articulating heads using SP25 scanning probes on traditional 3-axis CMMs.
