Renishaw has provided industrial metrology and additive manufacturing equipment to CCAT.
Renishaw is partnering with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT) to assist manufacturers on their Industry 4.0 journey. CCAT is an applied technology demonstration and training center which validates, demonstrates and assists with the adoption of leading-edge industrial technologies into the global manufacturing supply chain. The two organizations will assist businesses in executing new manufacturing strategies and accelerating the implementation of new digital technologies.
Since 2004, CCAT has helped companies adopt advanced technologies by engaging with industry, educational and community members to provide shared opportunities. CCAT is known for applying innovative technology solutions by leveraging its Advanced Technology Centers which are located in East Hartford, Connecticut. These centers include the Advanced Design Automation and Metrology Lab (ADAM), Additive Technology Optimization and Machinery Lab (ATOM) and Advanced Composite Technology Center (ACTC).
The centers provide technology development and demonstrations, as well as workforce training and upskilling that is necessary for companies to use advanced technology to its full potential. CCAT’s workforce development initiatives also work to identify, inspire and prepare talent in underserved and underrepresented communities to ensure manufacturing career opportunities are available to everyone.
Renishaw has provided industrial metrology and additive manufacturing (AM) equipment to the center, as well as sales and applications liaisons for product demonstrations, webinars, training and support. Renishaw equipment on-site includes Equator 300 and Equator 500 programmable gauges, which are programmed to measure airfoil parts printed on-site using Renishaw’s metal AM systems.
Additionally, CCAT and Renishaw provide access and training on a functional Renishaw RenAM series metal additive system, a range of Renishaw machine tool probes performing various in-process checks and an assortment of 5-axis sensor technology on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
