培訓

Renishaw has developed a range of training courses to help you exploit the full potential of your Renishaw systems. Renishaw recognises that training requirements vary according to territory and industry, and as a result provides a variety of training options.

These range from standard courses at Renishaw facilities, to training on customer's sites and even tailoring the content to meet your specific needs. The emphasis is always on practical, hands-on tuition.

The laser (XL-80 and ML10) and ballbar (QC20-W and QC10) training sections outline the typical course content covered in the training sessions held at New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, UK. The content covered by other subsidiaries may vary from office to office.
