NXRSP+

The perfect symbiosis of measurement technology and NC programming.

Efficiency and precision are crucial in modern manufacturing - but how can the two be optimally combined? With NXRSP+, JANUS Engineering has created a unique solution that makes it possible to integrate Renishaw measurement and inspection routines as well as in-process decisions directly into Siemens NX. This combination makes NXRSP+ an indispensable tool for companies that want to make their manufacturing processes smarter and future-proof.

What is NXRSP+?

NXRSP+ is a software module that integrates Renishaw's metrology expertise directly into the NX CAM environment. This allows measurement operations to be created within the NC programme - without the need for external systems. This ensures harmonised programming and saves time and resources.

Advantages of NXRSP+

  1. Continuous quality assurance:
    Measuring operations during production ensure consistent product quality.
  2. Simplification of complex processes:
    The direct integration of measuring functions into NC programming reduces complexity and increases efficiency.
  3. Time and cost savings:
    The integration of measuring operations speeds up manufacturing processes and minimises reject rates.
  4. Flexibility through real-time customisation:
    With Productivity+ in Siemens NX, in-process decisions can be made directly in the machining programme.
  5. Collision detection: 
    Prior simulations enable potential collisions to be recognised and avoided.
  6. Renishaw Chart and Reporter: 
    With the new Renishaw Chart function, measurement data can be visualised directly, while Renishaw Reporter offers comprehensive reporting for tracking and documentation.

How does NXRSP+ work?

NXRSP+ is based on so-called ‘statements’, which are created as operations in the NX CAM environment. These statements define measuring points, lines or other geometric elements and are clearly organised in a tree structure. Each statement can be individually customised to meet the specific requirements of production. The integration of Renishaw measurement and inspection routines makes it possible to record measurement data during production and make decisions based on this. This leads to a dynamic adaptation of the manufacturing process, making quality assurance an integral part of the machining process.

New features in the current version

  • Productivity based on API 3.6: 
    The integration of the latest API version ensures optimised performance and improved stability.
  • Intuitive user interface:
    A user-friendly design ensures easier operation and faster access to functions.
  • Full associativity of features: 
    Changes to CAD geometries automatically affect NC programming.
  • Support for multi-channel machines: 
    Efficient programming of complex multi-channel machining centres.
  • Tool path visualisation for collision detection: 
    Improved visualisation to avoid collisions in the planning phase.
  • Renishaw Chart and Reporter: 
    New functions for visualising measurement data and creating reports.

NXRSP+ - The bridge between metrology and production

With NXRSP+, JANUS Engineering offers a powerful solution that redefines precision and efficiency in manufacturing. The combination of metrology and NC programming in one system ensures smooth integration, reduces errors and increases productivity. Companies looking for innovative ways to optimise their manufacturing processes will find NXRSP+ to be a pioneering technology.
