Multiaxis calibrator reduces heat effects

Renishaw’s XM-60 multiaxis calibrator measures all six degrees of freedom from a single setup in any orientation for linear axes.
It can capture angular, linear, and straightness errors in a single setup. It also uses an XC-80 environmental compensator to correct for environmental conditions.
It provides an accurate laser system that incorporates a patented optical roll measurement and fibre optic launch system. The launch unit is remote from the laser unit, reducing heat effects at the point of measurement. It can be mounted directly to the machine on its side, upside down, or on its back, which is particularly beneficial in areas with difficult machine access.
The unit is designed to measure machine errors directly, reducing the inaccuracies that can result from complex mathematics used in some measurement techniques, the company states. Direct measurement makes comparison before and after machine adjustments a quick and simple task with users’ existing part programs for XL-80 measurement. The receiver is fully wireless and powered by rechargeable batteries, eliminating trailing cables during machine moves that could cause inaccuracies or break the laser beam during measurement.
