The XM-60 multi-axis calibrator is a laser system that incorporates a patented optical roll measurement and fibre-optic launch system. It has been designed to measure machine errors directly, reducing the inaccuracies that can result from complex mathematics used in some alternative measurement techniques, says the company. A wireless receiver is powered by rechargeable batteries, avoiding trailing cables during machine moves that could cause inaccuracies or break the laser beam during measurement.
To support the release of the XM-60, a newly-developed version of Renishaw's Carto software suite (2.0) is being released to guide users through the workflow of the measurement process.
