Renishaw Rolls Out RenAM 500 Ultra

Renishaw’s Equator gauging system is an integral component in supporting manufacturers’ drive to develop their own smarter processes and embrace factory automation. The Equator system, capable of operating at a temperature range of 5–50°C and up to 80% humidity, is optimized for part loading via a robot or shuttle system.

The RenAM 500 Ultra series is the latest range in Renishaw’s RenAM 500 series of laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) systems. Patented TEMPUS technology enhances the class-leading productivity of the RenAM 500 series.

Renishaw Rolls Out RenAM 500 Ultra

Cuts additive manufacturing build times up to 50%

(Renishaw: West Dundee, IL) — Renishaw has expanded its RenAM 500 series with the launch of the RenAM 500 Ultra AM system, cutting build times by up to 50% without compromising quality, and giving metal additive manufacturing (AM) users the tools to produce parts faster.

TEMPUS technology incorporates new scanning algorithms that allow the laser to fire while the recoater is moving, saving up to nine seconds per build layer. The RenAM 500 Ultra’s advanced process monitoring software also delivers detailed insights into the build, equipping users with data and providing in-process visibility.

The RenAM 500 Ultra metal AM system is the latest model in the RenAM 500 family, which also includes the Flex system, optimized for R&D work, and the flagship closed-loop powder recirculation model for series production. The entire RenAM 500 family is available with one (500S) or four (500Q) high-powered lasers, each able to access the whole powder bed simultaneously.

The new system was launched at Formnext 2023 in Germany in November 2023. In January, the new Ultra AM line, along with the Equator gauging system, will be featured in Renishaw’s exhibit at SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas. Visitors to the Renishaw booth will see finished additive parts and learn how the new system delivers significant productivity benefits at a highly competitive price point.

Equator gauging systems have been designed to cope with a wide range of parts and design changes, and the system’s automatic stylus-changing rack enables the inspection of multiple parts in quick succession. It is a proven example of how manufacturers are future-proofing their business activities with an efficient and cost-effective solution to part gauging.
