Renishaw to demonstrate suite of new manufacturing technologies at IMTS 2024
At IMTS 2024, Renishaw will showcase a range of new products that deliver improved performance accuracy and repeatability, including a new line of products for industrial automation, and Renishaw Central, its new smart manufacturing data platform.

As part of its Quality Assurance exhibit (Booth #134314), Renishaw will highlight capabilities that make it a trusted partner for innovation. The company's AM solutions exhibit (Booth #433239) will feature Renishaw's new TEMPUS technology and the new RenAM 500 Ultra metal AM system, designed to reduce build times by up to 50 percent.
Renishaw will demonstrate technologies that help increase manufacturing productivity, eliminate user error and improve production processes. This includes its new data-driven solution, Renishaw Central - a manufacturing connectivity and data platform that collates and presents data collected throughout manufacturing processes, enabling users to monitor and update machining and quality control systems. The data platform can digitalise, visualise and control manufacturing and measurement processes, and has helped Renishaw achieve a 69 per cent reduction in automation stoppages in its own machine shops.
Renishaw's new product line for the industrial robotics market will also be on display at IMTS, aiming to transform the process of commissioning and servicing industrial robots. The product range includes three products: RCS L-90, RCS T-90 and RCS P-series, all supported by a dedicated software suite to help simplify robot set-up, health checks and recovery of robotic applications following collisions.
"Manufacturers worldwide - ourselves included - are facing multiple challenges to increase automation and become more productive, competitive and sustainable while overcoming skills shortages and major technology shifts in the automotive industry," explained Dan Skulan, General Manager for Industrial Metrology at Renishaw. "We're looking forward to showcasing our wide range of technologies for smart manufacturing, process automation and increased digitalisation around CNC machining.
"Visitors to our Quality Assurance booth at IMTS will discover our innovative solutions for shopfloor metrology and consolidating end-to-end process data for closed-loop CNC automation, manufacturing traceability and ongoing process and product optimisation."
At IMTS, Renishaw will also demonstrate how manufacturers can use tools to improve precision, speed and productivity at every stage of the manufacturing process, without compromising on accuracy. For example, the REVO 5-axis multi-sensor system for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) will be featured with its extensive range of probes for complex inspection applications. The system provides automatic switching between tactile scanning, touch-trigger, ultrasonic, vision and surface finish measurement.
The system's design maximises CMM inspection capabilities with patented 5-axis measurement technology to offer a future-proof inspection solution to manufacturers across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive and medical.
