Probe software for machining centres

Inspection Plus software for machining centresInspection Plus is a comprehensive macro software package for Renishaw machine tool probes. A wide range of cycles are

supported from basic part set-up through to more complex vector and angular measurement cycles.

Inspection Plus incorporates new SupaTouch optimisation technology – calibrating a machine tool, controller and Renishaw probe

as a complete system, resulting in improved metrology and reduced cycle times.

Experienced users can create and execute cycles using traditional G-code techniques. New or less experienced users can choose

from a range of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), including Set and Inspect (see page 19 for more details) or GoProbe that offers a

simplified programming method supported with a self-study training kit and smartphone app.

The available cycles are listed in the tables below. The ticks in the GoProbe and SupaTouch technology columns signify the

packages where GoProbe and SupaTouch technology is supported.

Contact tool setting software for machining centresUsing a supplied installation utility, Renishaw’s contact tool setting software for machining centres can be easily set up to suit

a machine tool’s configuration. The software is suited to the majority of applications, especially when used with Renishaw’s

industry-standard TS27R, RTS and OTS probes.

Experienced users can create and execute cycles using traditional G-code techniques. Renishaw’s range of user-friendly GUIs

(including Set and Inspect) supports new and less experienced users (see page 19 for details).

The contact tool setting software also contains a GoProbe option to offer a choice between the traditional programming method

and the GoProbe programming method. The ticks in the GoProbe column signify which contact tool setting cycles are available

with the GoProbe option.

Contact tool setting software for machining centres – cycles



Manual measurementUsed to measure the length, or length and radius, of a tool.

The tool should be manually positioned 10 mm from the stylus before running the cycle, and there should be no tool offset active.

Automatic measurementThis cycle takes a measurement on the tool setting stylus to measure the effective cutting length of either a rotating or a non-rotating tool.

The tool must be called into the spindle, then the cycle will automatically move the tool to the clearance position.

Broken tool detectionUsed to check the length of a rotating tool for a broken tool condition.

The cycle also checks for a ‘long tool’ condition in case the tool has pulled out during machining.

Thermal compensationUsed to check thermal drift on the machine, this cycle has two functions:

1. To set base data. This measures the X, Y and Z faces of the stylus and saves the positions in variables. The locations are set on the input line.

2. To measure and compare. This measures the X, Y and Z faces of the stylus and compares the results to the base data, revealing any thermal drift. The differences in X, Y and Z will be output into variables. If they are out of tolerance, an alarm will be raised.

Non-contact tool setting software for machining centresThe non-contact tool setter (NCTS) is designed to help machine tool operators to set tools and return high-speed / high-

precision measurement of cutting tools, and is preferred for applications where delicate tools are used and/or where a tool setter

must not obstruct a machine’s working envelope.

Experienced users can create and execute cycles using traditional G-code techniques. Renishaw’s range of user-friendly GUIs

(including Set and Inspect) supports new and less experienced users (see page 19 for details).

Non-contact tool setting software for machining centres – cycles

Cycle title and description Cycle title and description

Tool length settingUsed to measure the effective length of a cutting tool, this cycle is suitable for on-centre setting of tools such as face mills and end mills.

Tool radius and diameter settingUsed to measure the effective radius or diameter of a tool, this cycle allows the radius and diameter to be measured from the positive side of the beam, the negative side of the beam, or both sides of the beam.

Tool length and radius settingUsed to measure the effective length and radius/diameter of a tool, this cycle is particularly suitable for tools such as face mills, end mills, slot cutters, disk mill cutters, dovetail cutters and boring tools.

Broken tool detection – plunge checkingUsed to check for broken cutting tools, this cycle uses a plunge check to move the tool in and out of the laser beam in the axis used for length setting. The cycle can also check for a ‘long tool’ condition in case the tool has pulled out during machining.

Cutting edge checkingUsed to check for missing or damaged teeth, or for excessive run-out of the cutter. *

Broken tool detection for solid toolsThis cycle differs from the ‘Broken tool detection – plunge checking’ cycle, in that it uses the broken tool latch mode feature (which is internal to the cycle) of the NCTS system to detect broken tools. This cycle is particularly suited to wet conditions.

Cutter radius and linear profile checkingUsed to verify the specified form of a profiled cutting tool, this cycle is particularly suitable for ball nose cutters, cutters with a corner radius, and cutters with linear profiles. *

Cutter radius measurementThis cycle measures the effective ball nose or corner radius of a tool whilst it is rotating. *

Temperature compensation trackingUsed to calibrate the NCTS system, this cycle should be run on a regular basis during machining operations to compensate for growth in the spindle axis and/or radial measuring axis caused by temperature changes in the machine tool. *

* The availability of this cycle is package dependent.

AxiSet™ Check-Up software for machine toolsAxiSet™ Check-Up is a cost-effective solution for checking and improving rotary

axis performance. It takes just a few minutes to help multi-axis machining centre and

multi-tasking machine users identify the poor machine alignment, geometry and pivot-point

errors that can cause extended process-setting times and non-conforming parts. Where

possible, AxiSet Check-Up automatically updates on-machine pivot-point parameters.

By providing machine users with a fast and accurate health check of rotary axis pivot

points, AxiSet Check-Up assists in building the process foundation by maximising the

stability of the environment and machine.
