MSP

It was with great sadness we learnt about the passing of Sir David McMurtry, Co-Founder of Renishaw, yesterday. Please see a statement below from our Co-Founder and Commercial Director, Tony Brown, about this news: “Sir David was a legendary figure in global manufacturing and instrumental in the success of MSP. At 84 years old when he died, he’d done a lot of living and I encourage you all to explore the life of this extraordinary man. Without him, there would be no MSP or the metrology industry as we know it today. In 1972, while working at Rolls Royce, he invented the touch trigger probe that allowed the digital collection of part measurement data. Before that, everything was measured manually by people with gauges, micrometres and rulers. There was little accuracy and repeatability which resulted in poor fit and finish, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries. From that first invention, his personal drive for innovation has turned Renishaw into a global engineering success, and the evidence of its success is everywhere - car engines that will run for hundreds of thousands of miles instead of a few tens of thousands; mobile devices with manufacturing tolerances of microns to achieve the reduced size we have grown used to. And every product in between. From the moment I met him, he certainly changed my life for the better, as he has for many others. It has been an honour to work alongside him and Renishaw to create and develop products like UCCserver and Equator. Whenever I have been in the Renishaw canteen over the years, even recently, he would always come over to have his meal and talk about his latest projects. He will be greatly missed by all of us.”

🚨 New machine install alert! 🚨 Safran in #Gloucester has a brand new Starrag STC 1250 machine and Stefan has been onsite to install NC-Checker and NC-PartLocator. As part of this new install, Stefan benchmarked the machine to confirm it was performing to the required tolerances and completed operator training so the team can manufacture more complex parts and improve their machining processes further. We can’t wait to hear the results from this new install 💥 Safran Safran Landing Systems #SafranLandingSystems #cnc #cncmachining #safran #msp #rightfirsttimeparts #metrology #smartmanufacturing #ukmfg

Happy #3Dprintingday! A day to celebrate the fascinating world of 3D printing and additive manufacturing! If you’re involved in the finish machining of additive parts, you’ll understand creating right-first-time is difficult as parts: ❗️are near net shapes, leaving no margin for error ❗️have no orthogonal surfaces to locate from  ❗️distort in the build process, causing their final shape to differ from the original CAD model We’re proud to say our products adapt and account for these issues 💪 read two of our case studies to understand how and what other benefits they provide 👇 3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd - 157% increase in machine capacity. SST Technology - producing 7 more parts per week. 👉 https://lnkd.in/epfj9RTu #international3dprintingday #metrology #cncmachining #cnc #metalam #3dprinting #rightfirsttimeparts #additive #additivemanufacturing

Do you know the risks if your part isn’t aligned correctly before machining? ⚠️ Look at the video to demonstrate what happens if it’s incorrect - the holes would be drilled in the wrong place! 👇 Unsure how to get the correct alignment? Let NC-PartLocator do it for you! It calculates a 6-axis best fit alignment using probing and automatically uploads this to the machine controller. It calculates any discrepancy between the part's location and the machining program so you can be confident your part will be machined perfectly ✨ Read our case studies for more insight into how it works 👉 https://lnkd.in/d5e44wU #cnc #cncmachining #cncmachinetools #smartmanufacturing #partmachining #msp #rightfirsttimeparts #advancedmanufacturing #metrology

What a time at the AMIC Aerospace Manufacturing Industry Day yesterday! 🤩 Great to see so many people in attendance, eager to learn about CNC machine automation and ways to improve the aerospace manufacturing landscape. It was a pleasure working with #AMIC at Queen's University Belfast and Productive Machines to put this event together - when will the next one be… 🤔 #innovation #cncmachining #cnc #cncmachinetools #rightfirsttimeparts #metrology #smartmanufacturing 

Imagine if you could increase the productivity of your CNC machine shop by 100%? 🤯 Doncasters Precision Castings did just that after approaching MSP for a solution to hard location fixturing. We solved this with a solution centred around Renishaw’s probes and MSP’s NC-Checker and NC-PartLocator software. The result?  ✅ production time went from 4 hours to 2 hours for standard components ✅ production time went from 8 hours to 2 hours for complex components ✅ automated part alignment and machine assessment Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dbUREc8J Or want to achieve these results for your own CNC machining processes?

 ⚡️ Unlock the power of metrology for CNC manufacturing ⚡️ Metrology is often the boost CNC machining processes need to produce right-first-time parts but why is its use in manufacturing still quite limited? If metrology is used to its full potential, it has the power to take all the guesswork and uncertainty out of manufacturing processes. Read our latest article to understand how and what other benefits it can provide, including:  ✅ Automation ✅ Flexibility ✅ Reduced scrap rates ✅ Making the most of existing equipment ✅ Traceability Take a look here 👉 https://lnkd.in/edWjvjz2 #metrology #cncmachining #cnc #cncmanufacturing #rightfirsttimeparts #msp #manufacturing #mfg #smartmanufacturing #measurement
