  • A new-generation Renishaw® 3D scanning probe head to provide maximum accuracy and flexibility for the complete inspection of all kinds of gears and gear-cutting tools and, in particular, finer pitch gears.
  • A new ergonomically mounted operator workstation and an Advanced Operator Interface (optional) – both designed to greatly improve the operator’s effectiveness at every stage of the inspection process.
