MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517045983 A) filed by Renishaw Plc, Wotton-under-Edge, U.K., on May 13, for 'system and method for industrial manufacturing using machine tools and wireless measurement probes.'
Inventor(s) include Styles, John, Anthony; and Gray, Michael, Philip.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An industrial manufacturing system is described that comprises multiple machine tools (50a-50d; 102) and one or more measurement probes (54a-54d; 120) for mounting on the machine tools (50a-50d; 102). The system includes an industrial communications network (100) that is interfaced to the machine tool controller (52a-52d; 118) of each machine tool (50a-50d; 102) and a cellular radio network (60; 106) having a plurality of cellular base stations (62a-62c; 110) for wireless communication with a radio transceiver of each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120). A cellular locating unit (66; 108) is provided for calculating a cellular location of the radio transceiver of each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) and a measurement control unit (70; 122) uses the calculated cellular location of each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) to determine which machine tool (50a-50d; 102) that measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) is mounted on. The measurement control unit (70; 122) thus enables the measurement data from each measurement probe (54a-54d; 120) to be used with corresponding machine position data from the machine tool (50a-50d; 102) on which it is mounted. A method of operation of such an industrial manufacturing system is also described."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 16, 2023, under International application No.PCT/GB2023/053006.
