Renishaw Equator-X 500 with MODUS IM operator interface

SYSTEM & SOFTWARE

Connect machine operation
with result management.

Equator-X 500 combines its accessible measuring volume with the MODUS IM operating environment. Programming, operator execution, result review and process-data management can follow one consistent shop-floor workflow.

TWO METHODS IN ONE

Select the method
for the production task.

Use traceable Absolute measurement for first-off and high-mix work, then Compare mode for repeated high-throughput inspection in variable shop-floor conditions.

ABSOLUTE

Absolute measurement

Deliver traceable ISO 10360-2 results without maintaining a master part, with scanning at up to 250 mm/s.

COMPARE

Comparison measurement

Compare against master data at up to 500 mm/s with ±2 µm repeatability across a wide temperature range.

MODUS IM

Metrology software

Connect CAD-driven programming and execution, operator guidance, reporting, automation and process data on one platform.
