Renishaw EQUATOR Ext Height Operator’s Version with 1/4 in R&R Threaded Fixture Plate

Equator™: The Versatile Gauge™ 

The Renishaw Equator™ is a versatile alternative to custom gaging, offering inspection of an unprecedented variety of manufactured parts.

Fast, Repeatable, and Versatile

The Equator™ System consists of highly repeatable, “parallel kinematic” structure machine coupled with a high-power, multi-axis universal controller and digital servo amplifier. The resultant system is capable of high-speed, comparative gaging for inspection of high-volume manufactured parts, directly on the shop floor. Additionally, the optimized ratio of working envelope(300 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm) to machine footprint (~ 570 mm x 500 mm), means Equator can be set to work in even the most crowded of factory spaces. The lightweight machine, weighing just 55 lbs, requires just single phase power and needs no costly air supply.

Re-configuration of the gaging system to cater for part design changes, or to measure new parts, is possible in a fraction of the time it would take with conventional custom gaging. An operator can switch between parts in seconds, perfect for flexible manufacturing processes or for accepting parts from multiple machines.
