Delcam to Show PowerINSPECT for Renishaw's REVOT at Control

Delcam will preview a special version of its PowerINSPECT inspection software for Renishaw's new REVOT measuring head and probe system at the Control exhibition to be held in Sinsheim, Germany, from 8th to 11th May. The new version of PowerINSPECT is currently under development, with a full release planned for at the EMO exhibition in September.

REVOT uses five-axis scanning technology to maximise CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy. Unlike conventional scanning methods, which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM's three axes in order to scan quickly, REVOT uses synchronised motion and five-axis software to minimise the dynamic errors of CMM motion at ultra-high scanning speeds. Renishaw claims that high accuracy inspection is now made possible at up to 500 mm/s scanning speed.

The combination of PowerINSPECT and REVOT is expected to give most benefit when it is used to measure complex shapes generated by five-axis machining. Typical examples include inspection of turbine blades and measurement of engine ports.
