Trevisan were asked to provide a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that could produce valves with high precision and productivity, with minimal manual intervention. Trevisan turned to an array of Renishaw machine tool measurement solutions to provide the enhanced levels of process control the system required.

Customer

Trevisan Macchine Utensili

Industries

Aerospace, agriculture, automotive, energy, and marine.

Background

Trevisan is a global leader in the design and production of stationary-part turning machines, which are used in a wide array of industries.

Challenge

For valves used in the international oil and gas sector, the quality of production is paramount, and therefore valve manufacturing requires maximum precision.

The Solution​

Trevisan combined Renishaw's inspection probe technology and non-contact laser tool setting system to set up and measure valve parts and cutting tools. Each raw part arriving at a machining centre on a pallet is measured automatically on the machine tool using a Renishaw RMP40 radio transmission spindle probe. To ensure each part's dimensional accuracy, Trevisan elected to use the Renishaw NC4 non-contact laser tool setting system.

RMP40 Probe

This ultra-compact touch-trigger probe allows easy access to all part features, enabling repeatable measurement of part dimensions, position and alignment on the pallet within 1 µm.
