(Renishaw: Torino, Italy) -- GE Oil & Gas, in Florence, Italy, has transformed the performance of a DEA Global coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with a REVO retrofit scanning probe system from Renishaw, producing higher data collection rates to allow form analysis—a function previously not practical due to the lengthy inspection times required. The retrofit, performed by Renishaw engineers, replaced the previous head, touch trigger probe, DEA controller, and PC-DMIS software, with the Renishaw Renscan5 system, including the REVO 5-axis scanning head, UCC2 controller, and MODUS, Renishaw’s metrology software.

The retrofit system's ability to reduce typical inspection times will facilitate collection of the additional data necessary for form analysis. “Our inspection time on a standard impeller was reduced by four times with the retrofit,” says Claudio Bartali, manufacturing technology project leader for GE Oil & Gas. “However, the exciting part will be using the massive amount of measurement data to compare the form of inspected surfaces with the 3-D CAD models.”
