Fagor Automation has announced the ability to interface with Renishaw software. While the capability to interface and operate with Renishaw Probing Systems has always been a standard feature of Fagor CNC Systems, the Fagor CNC now work with Renishaw software programs for a broad host of applications.

Of principle note is the Renishaw “Inspection Plus Software” for Machining Centres. “Inspection Plus” is a totally integrated package of software that includes vector and angle measure options, print options and an extended range of cycles. This includes an SPC cycle, 1 or 2 touch probing option, tool offset compensation by percentage of error and output data stored in an accessible variable stack.

Capability also includes an “Inspection” software for Machining Centres. This basic inspection/job set-up software contains the ability to set work offsets, update tool offsets and print inspection results. Due to the ease of use, this software is suitable for use by an operator or part programmer alike.

In addition, Fagor CNCs can work with Renishaw’s “CNC Reporter software”. This is a simple yet powerful tool for analysing data and creating printable reports from data generated by the Fagor CNC and Renishaw’s inspection probing operation. The programme provides measured feature dimensions, indicates whether these features are in or out of tolerance, and applies a ‘GO/NO-GO’ decision. The software allows the ability to collect data from over 250 parts within the same file and offers the possibility to customise the report template to suit your application needs. In addition, the reports are easily configurable in a Microsoft Excel environment.

This new capability combined with the existing Fagor CNC 8060 and CNC 8065 Probing Canned cycle capability ensures customers have available to them a universal probing solution that provides the most advanced technological probing inspection capability available today.
