Inspection software for machining centres

About macro based programming

Renishaw's Inspection software comprises a set of macros that control probing motion and point data manipulation, measuring a range of common component features with input of a few parameters.

Tool and work offsets can be updated automatically based on measured dimensions. On completion of each measurement cycle it is possible to print out the results.

Some capabilities may vary by an individual controller.

Users requiring a more comprehensive set of probing cycles may find Inspection Plus a more suitable solution.
