Understand your robot.
Unlock its performance.
Renishaw brings over 50 years of global engineering innovation to the forefront of the industrial automation industry combining deep technical expertise with a relentless drive for accuracy and performance.
Industrial robots are essential to the automated manufacturing industry. Completing tasks which would otherwise be dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans. Improving productivity and worker wellbeing.
However, the full potential of an industrial robot is difficult to achieve. The way we currently set up and deploy robot cells is often laborious, inefficient, and inaccurate. And once a robot is ready to operate, there are few reliable ways to track its performance over time. Leading to unexpected mechanical failures and costly downtime.
The RCS product series offers two industrial robot calibration solutions: a portable 'toolkit' of ballbars for infield robot diagnostics, and permanently installed robot-mounted probes for continuous operational efficiency.
Understand performance
Measure and assess robot capability to understand performance.
Maximize production output

Renishaw's RCS product range
Understand how your robot is performing.
Utilizing an innovative robotic software suite alongside RCS L-90 and T-90 ballbars, users are guided through tests to run set-up and health checks to understand the robot baseline.
Maximize the productivity of your robot.
Run automated robot recovery routines with a single button press. Remove the need to re-teach cells with automatic recovery programs, getting you back on line within minutes.
Achieve more with your robot.
Automatically calibrate robotic spindles and achieve 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) calibration with several quick orientations. By increasing the accuracy of your robot frames and environment this can open up more robot capability and applications.
Additive manufacturing
We are a leading manufacturer of advanced metal additive manufacturing systems and expert provider of customer-tailored solutions. We combine deep technical expertise with a relentless drive for accuracy and performance.
Case study
'Right first time' robot set-up with RCS L-90
‘Factory in a Box’ is an idea developed by the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC). The concept emerged to fulfil a need for industrial robotics in remote or hazardous locations without human involvement. In this case study understand how the RCS L-90 portable in-field toolkit gave MTC the confidence to move containers without the need for manual robot reteaching.
Since implementing this technology we are seeing a right first time set-up, and the robot programs are running automatically. Therefore, productivity and throughput just go straight up.

Why make robots better?
The robotics industry is transforming how work gets done across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and beyond. This drives greater speed, precision, and automation at scale.
As robots take on more critical tasks, maintaining their performance becomes just as important as deploying them. Understanding robot health and calibration helps ensure accuracy, reliability, and long-term efficiency while minimizing downtime and costly errors.
