Renishaw IPC Intelligent Process Control

The gauging results can be easily read in real-time by IPC, which offers the ability to connect to certain modern machine tool controls. This allows offset values to be updated, enabling true automated process control. Data from the Equator gauge can be used to update offsets repeatably and reliably, compensating for common causes of process instability, for example tool wear and thermal drift. Key features Reduction in human intervention Reduction in machine downtime Errors recorded over several parts are averaged - leading to more accurate updates No time delay, due to proximity to machine tool Allows One-to-Many (Equator system to machine tool) updating
