Unlock the true potential of your CMM with Renishaw Agility®

Renishaw, a world leader in metrology and manufacturing systems, has expanded its AGILITY® range of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The AGILITY range is designed and built for speed and accuracy, reinforcing Renishaw’s reputation for innovation in the most demanding industries. The machines are optimised for Renishaw’s REVO® 5-axis multi-sensor system, bringing new possibilities to the shop floor.

Product Development Nathan Fielder, Product Manager for the AGILITY CMM range at Renishaw, explains: “We took the award-winning REVO 5-axis multi-sensor system and asked ourselves how we could make it an even better solution to meet the challenging requirements of high-end manufacturers? The result is the AGILITY range – CMMs that deliver the advantages of the REVO multi-sensor system where it matters most: close to the point of production. The tried and tested AGILITY range, now including metrology lab machines, offers high-throughput platforms capable of using any of REVO’s seven specialist sensor types.”

Multi-sensor capabilities and machine architecture

These multi-sensor CMMs allow manufacturers to perform multiple measurement processes and report results on a single device. The full range of REVO sensors is available to AGILITY CMM users, including touch and scan probes, surface roughness, temperature, ultrasonic thickness, and non-contact probes.

• The machine construction combines granite and anodized aluminum, providing excellent durability and stability while ensuring accuracy across the entire measurement volume.
• Key elements such as bearing design and placement, innovative cable layout, and frictionless linear motors ensure a stable and repeatable platform when the REVO system performs high-speed scanning.
• Minimal contact parts help prevent friction and thermal instability, while reducing maintenance and wear requirements.
• The enhanced and protected Y-axis drive system reduces the mass of the moving structure and prevents dust and other external agents from interrupting the workflow.

AGILITY Series Expanded product line to serve both production and laboratory environments:

• AGILITY S (CMMs for shop floor):

  • Provides an extremely accurate and robust solution for inspecting production parts in environments where clean air and temperature control are not guaranteed.

  • Available in working volumes from 700 x 900 x 600 mm to 1600 x 2400 x 1200 mm (X x Y x Z), with variants featuring increased working volumes to accommodate pallet loading systems or turntables.

  • All production models feature an increased Y-axis path for increased stability and protection from airborne contaminants. Larger S-frames feature dual-drive Y-axis configurations and dual scales.

• AGILITY L (CMMs for lab and clean room):

  • Designed for cleanrooms, operating in a temperature range of 18°C to 22°C, providing high performance multi-sensor 5-axis measurement.

  • Elevated Y-axis design on one side with side stand improves accessibility for manual part loading when automation is not required.

  • AGILITY L frames have working volumes from 500 x 500 x 500 mm to 2000 x 3000 x 1600 mm (X x Y x Z).

Comprehensive control and service “In addition to the machine frame, the probe system, encoder, machine controller, linear motor, stylus head, workholding system, measurement software and even laser calibration and verification systems are all designed and manufactured by us,” says Leigh Elsworthy, CMM Customer Service Manager. “Renishaw controls the entire supply chain, installation and maintenance of the CMM throughout its lifecycle.”

• Each machine is fault mapped and certified using Renishaw’s laser calibration system.
• Installation and servicing is carried out by certified technicians only, with the option of UKAS or A2LA certification.
• The AGILITY CMM is also compatible with Renishaw Central, a powerful manufacturing data platform that enables closed-loop reporting and process control on the shop floor. The platform uses measurement data to identify deviations and automatically sends calibration updates to the appropriate manufacturing machines.
