Renishaw Hosting “Innovation Fest” Celebrating New U.S. Headquarters
The event in Illinois is also commemorating Renishaw’s 40-year anniversary.
Renishaw’s new U.S. headquarters and additive manufacturing Solutions Center in West Dundee, Illinois, will host an Innovation Fest event October 25-26, 2017. The two-day event will celebrate Renishaw’s 40 years of development and the grand opening of the facility.
Attendees can register on the company’s website.
Innovation Fest attendees will get an up-close look at Renishaw’s technology, while Renishaw industry experts will make presentations on additive and smart manufacturing. The new headquarters and Solutions Center will be open for tours, and Renishaw representatives will be available for questions throughout the event.
A high-productivity machining cell, featuring integrated process control, will be demonstrated, showing how high levels of automation and connectivity can be incorporated into CNC machining operations to improve productivity levels and process capability. Additionally, Renishaw will present its IPC (Intelligent Process Control). Process control can be achieved with closed-loop feedback using Equator gaging data to update offsets directly on machine tool controls. The gaging results can be easily read in real time by IPC, which offers the ability to connect to many types of machine tools.
