If you own or manufacture precision machinery, then speak to Renishaw to ensure that you get the most from your machines - find out how our laser interferometer and ballbar tools can speed up performance testing and calibration to transform system performance.

Calibration service provider works faster & smarter to create more revenue

He’s not an athlete, but Jürgen Emslander has, in one move, considerably improved his performance, to be way ahead of the rest of his field.  He runs a calibration service company called Geo Tec Messtechnik, and has recently upgraded his laser calibration system from the industry standard ML10 to the new Renishaw XL-80. The new system’s portability and ease of use minimises transportation and set-up times, allowing more jobs each month.  Read more about Geo Tec

Renishaw’s new XL-80 laser unit and XC-80 compensator

Portability, performance and ease of use describe Renishaw’s new XL-80 laser measurement system, which is significantly smaller and lighter than the established ML10 system. For analysis of high speed systems and small, high frequency movements, maximum linear speed is now 4 m/s with 1 nm resolution, and data capture operates at 50 kHz. System accuracy is ±0.5 ppm over the whole environmental operating range. More details about XL-80 laser measurement.

Speed, quality and repeatability are the key

At Inca Digital Printers Ltd, Renishaw’s new XL-80 laser system is used for static and dynamic measurements. When building their machines, Inca takes measurements along the length of the main rails – some of them measuring up to 11.5 m – to make sure the chassis is aligned when it arrives from the fabricator. When the machine has been built, powered up and tested, the XL-80 is used to measure the accuracy of the moving machine. Renishaw’s position encoders, with their reputation for ease of installation and set up are used on Inca’s Spyder machines to provide a more precise and faster motion platform with zero mechanical error.
