Touching Off the Show

This picture does not show an extra-dignified karate demonstration. Rather, this is Prince Andrew, Duke of York, officially opening the UK’s MACH 2010 trade show by breaking the beam of a Renishaw NC4 laser toolsetter. Running all this week, MACH 2010 is the UK’s leading manufacturing technology exhibition.

Chris Pockett of Renishaw writes about the duke’s contact with metrology technology (or, in this case, his non-contact with it) in this post on Renishaw’s blog.

For more on the application, effectiveness and technology of laser toolsetting, see this video from online contributor Todd Schuett.
