Patent number: 11163288Abstract: A method is described for analysing probe data collected by a scanning probe carried by a machine tool. The probe data is collected as the machine tool moves or scans the scanning probe along a scan path relative to a workpiece. The method includes a step of identifying a property of the scan path used by the machine tool from a characteristic of the collected probe data. In this manner, the scan path can be identified from the probe data alone without having to receive any position data from the machine tool.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: RENISHAW PLCInventors: Derek Marshall, John Charles Ould

Publication number: 20160195382Abstract: A method is described for using coordinate positioning apparatus, such as a machine tool, to measure an object. The method includes the step of operating the coordinate positioning apparatus in a touch trigger mode to measure the position of one or more touch trigger measurement points on the surface of the object. The coordinate positioning apparatus is also operated in a scanning mode to measure the position of a plurality of scanned measurement points along a scan path on the surface of the object, the scanning mode measurements being acquired using a scanning probe having an object-contacting stylus. At least one correction (?i;V,R;?r) is then calculated that describes a difference between the touch trigger mode measurements and the scanning mode measurements. In this manner, touch trigger measurements are used to correct scanning measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2014Publication date: July 7, 2016Applicant: RENISHAW PLCInventors: David Roberts MCMURTRY, Derek MARSHALL

Tool setting or analysis device with backup or repeated trigger signal for detecting a rotating tool
Patent number: 9040899Abstract: A tool setting or tool analysis device for a machine tool includes a light source for producing a light beam. A light receiver receives the light beam and produces a signal indicative of the amount of light received. This is analyzed by a main analysis circuit to generate a trigger signal to a machine controller when the beam is at least partially occluded. To provide fail-safe operation should the main circuit not recognize the tool, a back-up trigger signal is produced after a delay by a delay circuit. In one preferred form, the back-up trigger signal may oscillate, providing repeated edges which can ensure fail-safe operation even if the machine controller suffers from a blind window and therefore misses the initial trigger signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: RENISHAW PLCInventors: Edward Benjamin Egglestone, Derek Marshall, Benjamin Jason Merrifield -
