(Nikon: Brighton, MI) -- Nikon Metrology coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) offer the productivity gains that are provided by Renishaw’s five-axis REVO probe system. REVO is a dynamic probe system designed to maximize CMM throughput by providing improved accuracy, faster measurement, and greater flexibility. With an optimum stiffness-to-weight advantage, Nikon Metrology’s ceramic CMMs take full advantage of the performance enhancements offered by REVO for automotive powertrain and aerospace engine applications among many others.

High-speed, high-accuracy inspection with greater flexibility

REVO is an infinite-positioning, two-axis probe head utilizing a beam of laser light directed from the probe body down a hollow carbon-fiber stylus to a reflector at the stylus tip. Thanks to this direct measurement of the stylus tip position, REVO delivers consistent accuracy through a range of stylus lengths up to 500 mm.
