RCS products by global engineering technologies company Renishaw®, aim to transform the process of commissioning and servicing industrial automation technologies, expanding INSPHERE’s existing range of robot guidance technologies.
The RCS product line complements INSPHERE’s existing offering and expertise in technology to capture, analyse and utilise data to improve industrial robot performance. This data is unique in its ability to provide insight and process control measures for advanced, automated manufacturing not previously available to the users of industrial robots.
The new RCS products focus on the problems associated with manual set-up, calibration, and maintenance of robots, such as operational accuracy and repeatability. The range comprises three products: RCS L-90, RCS T-90 and RCS P-series.
RCS L-90 is a ballbar device which improves robot system accuracy, reduces deployment time and monitors robot health with simple routines. RCS T-90 is a tri-ballbar system which enables robot users to identify root causes of poor performance, with further comprehensive tests to capture critical robot information – such as remastering the joint offsets to calculated positions, running master-recovery routines, and plotting 3D path performance. The third RCS product, RCS P-series, integrates a permanent Renishaw probing solution within a robot cell to apply in-process metrology and automatic recovery to automation processes.
Ben Adeline, CEO, INSPHERE Ltd commented:
“The manufacturing industry is at an exciting inflection point with intelligent automation now becoming a reality. We’re delighted to be collaborating with Renishaw in offering new and exciting products in this space. Renishaw’s automation range perfectly complements our broader portfolio of products including IONA and our ORA software platform, all of which aim to improve robot performance and process control.
By applying these solutions to industrial robots we enable enhanced levels of flexibility, autonomy and awareness, creating more versatile and higher performance automation solutions.”
