Is now a good time to upgrade your manufacturing technology hardware and software?
LK Metrology has released its CAMIO 2026 R1 software, now supporting Renishaw's REVO 5-axis scanning probe system. This update allows manufacturers to integrate high-speed measurement technology across diverse CMM equipment.
Why it matters
By integrating REVO support, the update aims to reduce overall inspection times and improve measurement accuracy for industrial manufacturing. It provides a unified software platform that can operate across mixed-brand coordinate measuring machines.
The update utilizes the I++/DME client/server architecture, enabling communication with the UCC controller via a TCP/IP network. It supports bridge, horizontal arm, and gantry CMMs alongside touch-trigger, analogue, and laser probes.
The players
LK Metrology
LK Metrology is a global manufacturer of coordinate measuring machines and metrology software solutions.
Renishaw
Renishaw is a multinational engineering and technology company that designs high-precision measurement systems.
The details
The software allows users to program and execute inspection routines, including sweep scanning and head-touches, directly within the CAMIO interface. It leverages the I++ client to coordinate with existing hardware setups for broader compatibility.
Timeline
The CAMIO 2026 R1 update was released on October 4, 2026.
The Tech Race
The move to support I++/DME standards reflects the industry's shift away from proprietary, locked-in measurement platforms toward flexible, mixed-brand factory environments. This integration directly challenges legacy hardware-software exclusivity by prioritizing interoperability across global manufacturing floors.
Manufacturing operators gain the ability to deploy advanced 5-axis scanning routines across their existing CMM fleet without needing brand-specific software for each unit. This consolidation simplifies operator training and streamlines inspection workflows by centralizing control through one interface.
The takeaway
Manufacturers looking to optimize inspection cycles should evaluate their existing CMM hardware to determine if this software update provides a viable path to faster, more accurate measurements. Standardizing on a single platform can significantly reduce complexity for quality control teams managing diverse equipment.
