Scanning developments.The man in the picture is Sir David McMurtry. He invented the touch-trigger probe that's truly revolutionized coordinate measurement. He's he's 1. Contraction of he is: He's going to school today. 2. Contraction of he has: He's already been to the museum. now come up with what has tremendous potential for those who measure: the RenscanS, an ultra-high-speed five-axis measurement system that deploys the REVO REVO Revoke two-axis, infinite-positioning probe head, also shown. This head can scan at 500 mm per second--as compared with the conventional speed which is on the order of 20 mm/sec or less. The system is available from Renishaw [www.renishaw.com; Hoffman Estates Hoffman Estates A village of northeast Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Population: 49,700. , IL], the company that McMurty founded and of which he's the chairman. The company has also developed a universal coordinate measuring machine [CMM (Capability Maturity Model) A process developed by SEI in 1986 to help improve, over time, the application of an organization's supporting software technologies. ] controller that permits the high-speed system to be deployed on many new or existing CMMs. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
