REVO Five-Axis Measurement System

REVO Five-Axis Measurement System



REVO is the first in a range of revolutionary products to offer 5-axis measurement capability and is designed to maximize CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy.

Multi-Award Winning Multi-Sensor System



REVO is a dynamic new measuring head and probe system from Renishaw. A revolutionary product designed to maximize CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy. In recognition to the revolutionary 5-axis measuring technology that has brought dramatic benefits to part inspection on CMMs, REVO has received three international technology awards:

  • Most Innovative Product Platinum Award at ENGIMACH 2010
  • Innovation Micron d’or Award at Micronora 2008
  • Best quality control product or system winner at the MWP 2008

REVO uses synchronized motion and Renscan5TM measurement technology to minimize the dynamic effects of CMM motion at ultra high measurement speeds.

This is achieved by letting the REVO head do the fast, demanding motion while the CMM moves in a linear slow fashion. The use of a flexible tip sensing probe system further adds to the system’s accuracy and flexibility. The removable probe system, used in conjunction with a low-cost changer, provides added system flexibility.

Controller System



The Renscan5TM technology is embedded in Renishaw’s UCC2 CMM controller which forms the basis of the 5-axis measurement system — 2 of these axes are rotary and at the CMM quill. Patented software capability within the UCC provides unique motion commands, synchronization, and 5-axis metrology capability.

In order to achieve the high scanning speeds, it is essential the 5-axis measurement system has a fully integrated control loop. This is achieved using Renishaw’s UCC2 and SPA2-2 system.
