Renishaw - Model XC-80 -Compensator and Sensors
An environmental compensator which significantly improves the measurement accuracy of the XL-80 system. The XC-80 compensator is a crucial factor in your XL system`s linear measurement accuracy. Changes in air temperature pressure and relative humidity can affect the wavelength of the laser light and the measurement readings taken. XC-80 features “intelligent sensors” that process the readings at source, the compensator very accurately measures air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity. The XC-80 uses the sensor readings to modify the nominal value of the laser wavelength to give a true value, which is then used in calculations to virtually eliminate any measurement errors resulting from these variations.
Uniform compensation - The design of the XC-80 and sensors ensures uniform and extremely accurate readings over the full range of environmental operating conditions.
- Frequent sensor updates - This can be done automatically every seven seconds, as indicated by LED status lights on the XC-80 unit.
- Integrated USB - The integral USB connection means there is no separate PC interface and no separate power supply (the USB supplies the XC-80 and sensors` power).
- Lightweight - The XC-80 weighs 550 g, and together with the XL-80, weighs just over 3 kg (including connecting cables, XL power supply and sensors).
- Intelligent air and material temperature sensors - The integral microprocessors analyse and process the sensor`s output before sending digital temperature values to the XC-80 compensator. This offers more secure measurements and is a key reason why the XC-80 is so compact and also ensures sensors are fully interchangeable without comprimising accuracy.
- Up to three material temperature sensors can also be attached to the XC-80 compensator to allow linear measurements to be normalised to a standard material temperature of 20 °C.
- Versatile sensor cables - The standard 5 m long sensor cables are detachable for easy replacement and can be screwed together for extended lengths on longer machines.
