Renishaw in Miami area

[Leandro]

I hit my renishaw probe and I´m looking for a Service sation in the Miami area.

¿Did somebody know where cann I send my probe to repair?

 

Thanks

Looks like Renishaw only official is in Illinois in the US Renishaw location but how about a Fedex overnighter¿?

Renishaw, to my knowledge, only does repair by exchange; you send yours to Illinois with $1500 wrapped around it and they'll send you back somebody else's thump job that they have already fixed.

We deal with a company by the name of Sheffco, Inc. in Michigan. A new OMP-40 cost $3000. If I send them a smashed up one, they will send a new one for $1000. (Pricing may vary!!!)

 

I was told Renishaw doesnt actually repair anything, they just want it back to smash it.

I have received units from Renishaw on a repair-by-exchange that were definitely not new; depends on the level of damage, I am sure. I sent them one that was certainly not salvageable....

You'd be surprised what parts they can salvage from them. Even ones that have been treated like Chris treats his probes

 

j/k Chris.

Oh, man, you should've seen one of the MP700s that my night shift trashed awhile back; the thing was L-shaped...ouch!!

Big Mazak with custom monster T-column and Z not all the way back home with MP700 in the spindle when the operator rotated B axis at 100% rapid. 50 taper spindle adapter was all that was left in the spindle. MP700 body coming down the auger and then going up the conveyor and out into the chipbucket.

 

ooooooops

Ours was a full-on Z- rapid from the tool-change position into the fixture; probe was 1/2 on and 1/2 off the fixture, so it took a nice offset load. Here's the note I left [with the mangled probe] on the Production Manager's desk:

That priceless, the type of note I love to see. To the point accuate and just so funny.

 

Just one question did they need a Bobcat to clear the BS

[Leandro]

Ok,ok. Now I understand. I suppose we are the only one that hit our probe. Now I see you have the same problem.

In Southamerica there is no Renishaw Service. the representative only sell new probes (US6700,- each)

I think for me is cheaper take my probe to the USA, visit a nice place and returns with a repaired one to Argentina.

 

Thank you very much for all the information.
