Metrology fixtures for CMM and gauging

Metrology fixtures for co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and Equator™ gauging can improve the throughput, reproducibility and accuracy of your inspection process by providing quick and repeatable fixturing set-ups for your components.


CMM fixtures

Our components allow you to fixture workpieces of almost any size, shape or material onto your measuring bed. Our wide range of metrology fixtures for CMMs and Equator gauging, includes a choice of standard size base plates and an extensive selection of components with M4, M6, M8 or 1/4-20 threaded fittings.

Whether you are inspecting workpieces for aerospace, automotive, electronics, industrial or medical applications, Renishaw can provide a complete fixturing solution for any workpiece regardless of its size, shape or material.

Maximise inspection throughput whilst maintaining flexibility

To minimise unproductive set-up time, whilst maintaining fixturing flexibility, workpieces can be fixtured on a base plate away from the CMM, vision machine or Equator gauging system. The fixtured workpiece can be loaded onto the inspection device with ease, immediately prior to measurement.

Filling the measurement area of a CMM with multiple fixtured parts is another way to minimise set-up time. Multiple workpieces on the CMM bed can be measured in one batch, without the need to start and stop the measurement cycle to load more fixtured workpieces.

A large range of components
Our modular CMM fixtures can be used to secure parts of almost any size, shape or material. Base plates and components are available as standard in M4, M6, M8 metric and 1/4-20 imperial thread sizes.

With a range of fixturing solutions available in our Online store, your fixture collection can be expanded when your requirements change.

Reproducible set-ups
Identical fixturing set-ups are important to ensure the repeatability of inspection by removing variation from the process. Set-ups can be accurately documented and reproduced using our alpha-numerically labelled base plates and labelled fixturing components.

Fast assembly
Fixturing solutions can be assembled very quickly to increase throughput and avoid delays in inspection. All components are hand-tightened and require no special tools.

Unrivalled wear resistance
Our heat treated steel components and hard coated base plates, provide a smooth and scratch resistant finish.

Remember our modular and custom fixturing can improve the throughput, reproducibility and accuracy of your inspection process with quick and repeatable fixturing set-ups. Renishaw fixtures can provide a complete solution to your fixturing requirements.


Metrology fixtures for AGILITY® CMM systems

Maximise your productivity with fixture plates for AGILITY CMM systems

Maximise working volume
Our specially designed fixture plates cover the CMM bed and bolt straight onto it for more stable and accurate measurements. Allowing you to fixture large components that might utilise the entire working envelope of the machine.

Hard coat black anodized
Our cast aluminium base plates are hard coat anodized in black to resist wear and scratching.

Secure parts of any size, shape, or material
Our modular CMM fixtures can secure parts of almost any size, shape, or material, and can be expanded as your requirements change.

Modular fixturing solutions:

Reduce set-up time
Need a system to easily swap out smaller fixtures? The QuickLoad™ rail can be located and secured to the left, right, or centre of the CMM granite, or to an existing modular base plate, allowing you to fill the CMM bed with fixtured workpieces, reducing set-up time and increasing CMM productivity.

Design and document configurations
Our 3D-modelling software, FixtureBuilder, can be used to design and document QuickLoad rail configurations and modular fixturing set-ups, making configurations easy to reproduce.

Improve reproducibility and accuracy
By using Renishaw fixtures on the base plates of the AGILITY CMM, you can improve the reproducibility and accuracy of your inspection process.
