Renishaw will introduce its latest NC4+ Blue laser tool setter models at EMO Hannover 2025, hall 5 stand D06. The new F100 and F100-10C models incorporate third-generation technology for tool setting on CNC machine tools and are designed to support precision manufacturing applications.
With an optimized system design, NC4+ Blue F100 models achieve repeatability of 0.1µ 2σ, providing precise tool measurement. Tool features and defects as small as 5µ can be detected, allowing accurate measurement of ultra-fine tools and supporting even the most delicate machining operations. By identifying the smallest tool defects before machining, the systems help ensure a good surface finish, enhancing overall part quality.
The F100 models have a compact footprint suitable for machines with limited working space, enabling manufacturers to set tools efficiently.
Renishaw has enhanced the efficiency and optimized the air flow in the NC4+ Blue F100 models. It has reduced the tool setters barrier air consumption by over 50%, reducing the required energy for air compression, lowering operational costs for manufacturers. This advancement reflects Renishaw’s continued commitment to improving the sustainable performance of its products.
As part of Renishaw’s NC4+ Blue laser tool setter portfolio, the F100 models are designed to deliver high-precision, high-speed non-contact tool setting and tool breakage detection. Featuring industry-first blue laser technology, all NC4+ Blue systems detect tool defects down to micron levels, aiding the production of ‘right first time’ parts. The NC4+ Blue MicroHole aperture and PassiveSeal mechanism protect the system in harsh environments, guaranteeing reliable performance even under challenging conditions.
Renishaw’s advanced macro software for the NC4+ Blue allows manufacturers to automate tool measurement and set-up processes. With a range of non-contact tool setting cycles, manufacturers can streamline operations, increase efficiency, and achieve consistently high-quality results.
