The NC4+ Blue, featuring the industry’s first blue laser technology (patent pending) and improved optics, delivers significant improvements in tool measurement accuracy, ensuring components can be machined more precisely and with reduced cycle times.
NC4+ Blue systems
Compared to red laser sources found in conventional non-contact tool setters, blue laser technology has a shorter wavelength for improved diffraction effects and optimized laser beam geometry, enabling measurement of very small tools while minimizing tool-to-tool measurement errors.
NC4+ Blue systems also use Renishaw’s non-contact tool setting software packages, which include a new dual measurement mode with auto optimization technology, ensuring fast and reliable tool measurement.
NC4+ Blue support is embedded into Renishaw’s graphical user interfaces, including on-machine and mobile apps.

Renishaw technologies provide the data that enables intelligent decision-making for Industry 4.0. On-machine tool measurement allows manufacturers to automate and optimize their processes and minimize quality problems and CNC machine stoppages. With the latest version of Renishaw’s on-machine Reporter app, users can now view historical tool data captured by the NC4+ Blue and export the results for use in their chosen software and control systems.
