Blue laser technology: Renishaw expands range and improves repeatability of on-machine tool measurement solutions

Global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, will showcase its second-generation NC4+ Blue non-contact tool setting solution at EMO Milano 2021. The new system will be one of many smart factory process control solutions demonstrated by Renishaw, which are proven to help machine shops across many industries transform their production capabilities.

Building on the success of the original NC4+ Blue launched at EMO Hannover 2019, the latest evolution of the non-contact tool setter features an ultra-compact design and is now available in four sizes, with operating gaps ranging from 55 mm to 240 mm. Measurement repeatability has also been improved across the range, now down to +/- 0.5 micron on smaller separations.
