Renishaw - Model XM-60 -Multi-Axis Calibrator
Measure six degrees of freedom in any orientation from a single set-up. Unique technology, optical roll measurement and fibre optic launch. XM-60 is a laser measurement system capable of measuring errors in six degrees of freedom along a linear axis, simultaneously from a single set-up. It provides a powerful diagnostic tool measuring all geometric errors in the axis from a single capture. For users of volumetric compensation XM-60 provides quick and accurate method of data population. All measurements are made optically allowing use in any orientation.
- Quick - linear, pitch, yaw, roll, horizontal and vertical straightness measurement in the same time as a single measurement with conventional laser techniques.
- Simple - easy set-up, familiar with other interferometric systems. Automatic sign detection and graphical alignment minimise human errors.
- Reassuring - measuring all errors directly allows the user to see results as the test is in progress.
- Capable - unique optical roll measurement system provides roll measurement in any orientation.
The compact 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 and even on its back, which is particularly beneficial in areas with difficult machine access.
The receiver is fully wireless and powered by rechargeable batteries, avoiding trailing cables during machine moves which could cause inaccuracies or break the laser beam during measurement.
To accompany XM-60, CARTO 2.0 software suite will be released to guide the user through the workflow of the measurement process. CARTO includes Capture and Explore applications providing data capture and analysis for XM-60 and provides a range of new features including comprehensive comparison of tests and data channels, including environmental data.
The performance of each XM-60 multi-axis calibrator is traceable to international standards and every unit is also certified before shipment. This provides users with the confidence that their system will deliver the specified accuracy day-after-day where it counts - in the workplace.
Renishaw laser measurement systems are manufactured to provide high performance and operation. The aluminium substructure provides lightweight yet strong construction, designed to give the smallest package to fit onto the machine. The laser is developed from technology used in the RLE20 laser encoder system, produced for over 10 years, and found in the most demanding applications in the semiconductor industry.
The XM-60 launch has an integral switchable mount allowing quick machine attachment. This can be used with the 90 degree bracket for vertical alignment. An optional fixturing kit is available to support a variety of mounting requirements.
