Automotive Interiors CMM Retrofit
In opposition to a downturn in manufacturing trends due to impending new product launches, the need for Faurecia Automotive in Tamworth to consistently rely on CMM measurement data feedback was paramount. Lean manufacturing meant that key equipment within the chain must be relied upon to deliver on-time every time!
Having reviewed their CMM’s performance it was decided that an upgrade investment to the ageing LKHA CNC controls would provide assurances of reliability and serviceability as well as a reduction in measurement cycles.
Status Metrology was selected to supply new CNC controls, a PC and CMM software upgrade.
"Although the machine was of large capacity, the guys at Status Metrology worked hard to deliver the task in record time with the minimum disruption providing the latest CAD capabilities" said Quality Manager Malcolm Richards. "The QA team at Faurecia has thanked Status Metrology for a job well done and commented that they had no problems in endorsing their services."

IMPROVED MEASUREMENT PERFORMANCE
Following a series of design enhancements, Renishaw's industry-standard family of PH10 motorised indexing heads for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) now have a 20% improvement in repeatability and increased long-term stability.
Combined with an optional extended 2-year warranty, the new PH10 heads offer CMM users a new standard of indexing head performance, providing reliable precision in even the most demanding measurement applications.
All three variants of the new PH10 heads are now supplied with a revised repeatability specification, down from 0.5µm (2σ) to just 0.4µm (2σ) (specified at a distance of 62 mm), giving users improved positioning at the stylus tip.
New CMM heads available through attractive upgrade options
Attractive upgrade options for the new higher specification PH10 motorised indexing heads are being offered to existing PH10 users, who can trade in their old head via any Renishaw service centre or authorised supplier. Additionally, users returning an existing head for repair can now take advantage of a special variant of Renishaw's unique low cost 'repair by exchange' (RBE) service, where a new specification PH10 head will be supplied, ensuring minimal down time.
