At my previous company we had someone direct from Renishaw come out and install the probe and train our staff on its correct use. They did a good job, but were way too expensive. (According to my distributor, Renishaw will have a new product catalog at IMTS this year, so prices will go up). As a result, we went with one of Renishaw’s competitors and were very dissatisfied with it (in fact we paid Renishaw to come in and install their product and remove the competitor’s product)
I called my distributor and Renishaw directly and can’t get quoted a price that falls within my budget. Are there any 3rd party contractors who can install and train our staff on Renishaw products?
