R Series – Precision Turning Meets High-Accuracy Metrology
The WENZEL R Series offers the perfect solution for inspecting rotationally symmetrical components with maximum precision and efficiency. Engineered specifically for turned parts, shafts, gear blanks, and cylindrical components, this series combines the accuracy of tactile measurement with the speed and stability of a rotary-based system—all wrapped in a compact, robust design.
Whether you’re producing components for turbines, driveshafts, electric motors or medical equipment, the R Series is your go-to solution for fast, accurate, and repeatable inspection directly on the shop floor or in the metrology lab.
Optimised for Rotational Symmetry
Unlike traditional bridge-type CMMs, the R Series is built around a vertical layout with a precision rotary axis. This configuration enables full 360° measurement of cylindrical parts in a single setup—minimising repositioning, improving throughput, and reducing measurement uncertainty.
You get comprehensive dimensional data on diameters, lengths, threads, grooves, form, and position in record time.
The R Series supports a wide variety of probe systems from Renishaw, including touch-trigger, scanning, and high-speed optical sensors. Choose a configuration that best suits your components—whether that means contact probing for tight tolerances or optical scanning for delicate or complex surfaces.
Hybrid solutions allow you to combine both for even more flexibility across part types and materials.
