(Renishaw: West Dundee, IL) -- Renishaw has announced the launch of its new XC100 environmental compensator. It builds on Renishaw’s proven XC-80 technology to deliver real-time automatic wavelength correction, with an improved 0.4 ppm linear laser measurement accuracy.

The XC100 compensator measures air temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity, then automatically adjusts the measured laser wavelength. It also measures material temperature, enabling calibration results from machines operating at different temperatures to be normalized to a standard temperature. Compatible with the XL-80 laser interferometer, XM-60 and XM-600 multi-axis calibrators, and CARTO software, it provides a seamless experience across Renishaw’s calibration product range.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the XC100 compensator supports any combination of air and material sensors, enabling comprehensive measurement of environmental conditions throughout the machine volume. The high-resolution LCD touchscreen display, flexible sensor configuration, and versatile mounting features help users adapt the system for a range of calibration applications.

“The XC100 simplifies the process of precision laser calibration,” says Laurence Rosser, product manager at Renishaw. “By combining real-time environmental monitoring with seamless CARTO software integration, users can be confident in their measurement results, even in changing conditions.”
