Xl-80 Renishaw Laser Interferometer

Renishaw's XL-80 laser and XC-80 compensator are much smaller than ML10/EC10. Combined weight is just over 3 kg including cables, supplies, and sensors, 70% lighter. Smaller heads/compensators allow smaller tripods/pan heads and transport cases. The smallest wheeled case is slightly over half the original size yet holds complete linear/angular systems and optional QC10 ballbar space. The portable check-and-correct interferometer/ballbar combination weighs under 17 kg. A new tripod/shipping case weighs only 6.2 kg. Small heads/pan heads also fit standard magnetic bases where tripods are inconvenient. XL-80 beam height/optic dimensions match ML10, enabling direct granite-table placement for CMM calibration without tripod heads. Warm-up is approximately 5 minutes, faster than comparable systems, improving productivity for calibration providers/multiple measurements at one site. Standard switchable signal gain enables 80 m linear range or increased signal for short distances. Multiple-signal connectors provide triggers, analog signals, and factory-configured digital outputs, more flexible than ML10 heads. USB sends data directly to computers without separate interfaces, improving reliability and portability. For systems exceeding 2 m/s, XL-80 offers faster operation and detailed results: maximum linear speed rises from 1 m/s to 4 m/s, with 1 nm resolution. 50 kHz acquisition captures tiny high-frequency motion. LaserXL™/QuickViewXL™ display familiar easy-to-use data. Laser XL™ wizards support machine-tool verification standards; QuickViewXL™ plots live readings. Accuracy improves over ML10 to ±0.5 ppm across normal temperature/pressure/humidity conditions. XC-80 intelligent sensors update environmental compensation every 7 seconds through USB, which also powers XC-80/sensors. As with ML10, all measurements reference stabilized He-Ne wavelengths for traceability to international length standards. Compatibility with existing ML10 optics lets worldwide ML10 users upgrade while preserving optics/procedures/training investment. XL-80 has a comprehensive 3-year standard warranty, extendable to 5 years at favorable cost. Special offers serve ML10 users and customers switching from other suppliers.
