Measurement Equipment
Renishaw is one of the largest companies producing modern measurement solutions and equipment used in industry. Renishaw measurement equipment includes tools that enable precise and complex measurements across various industrial sectors. The range of Renishaw equipment includes measurement probes, measurement accessories, inspection instruments, control machines, measurement systems, and software.
Renishaw measurement probes are tools used for precise measurement of objects with complex or non-standard shapes. They are particularly used in the aerospace and medical industries, where measurement accuracy and repeatability are critical. These probes allow fast, precise, and repeatable measurements, forming the foundation for effective quality control in manufacturing processes.
Renishaw measurement equipment is also used in the automotive, electrotechnical, and hydraulic industries. Thanks to increasingly advanced technological solutions offered by Renishaw, it is possible to achieve highly accurate and repeatable measurement results, which translates into improved final product quality and greater precision in production processes.

How and Where Are Probes Used?
Measurements using probes are widely employed to improve efficiency, quality, and accuracy in machine tools. Standard procedures built into modern CNC controllers simplify the integration of measurement cycles into machining operations and offline tools. These procedures, combined with CAD interfaces, make simulating measurement functions easier.
Renishaw measurement solutions can reduce setup times by up to 90% and improve process control.
Measurement systems on CNC machining centers and lathes can be used to identify and set workpieces, measure components during adaptive machining cycles, monitor surface condition, and verify finished part dimensions. For users working with probes and probe styli, measurement with a Renishaw laser interferometer provides an excellent complement, allowing detection of microscopic CNC axis deviations.
Benefits of Using a Renishaw Inspection Probe
Using probes eliminates the need for expensive custom fixtures and manual setup with dial indicators. Measurement probes are mounted on machining center spindles and turret heads of CNC lathes, providing the following benefits:
- Reduced machine downtime
- Automatic workpiece mounting, task alignment, and rotational axis setup
- Elimination of manual setup errors
- Reduction of scrap parts
- Increased productivity and flexibility in production batch sizes
Probes mounted on the spindle or turret head can also be used for in-cycle measurements and first-part inspection. Manually performed measurements depend on the operator’s skill or transferring parts to a coordinate measuring machine, which is not always practical.
