The XK10 alignment laser system from Renishaw is designed to facilitate the measurement and alignment of geometric and rotational errors in machine tools. It eliminates the need for traditional granite artefacts, providing a compact and lightweight digital solution that can measure straightness, squareness, and parallelism of linear axes, as well as rotational errors in spindles and chucks. The system records measurements digitally and generates error reports, reducing the potential for operator error associated with manual methods. Its versatility allows for use in various configurations, making it suitable for machines of different sizes and types. The XK10 is particularly beneficial for machine assembly, maintenance, and service, enabling quick adjustments and ensuring optimal machine performance.
The XK10 alignment laser system has been developed to measure geometric and rotational errors of machine tools. Used with the XK10 machine tool fixturing kit, it enables faster and easier measurements over traditional methods, such as dial gauges, autocollimators and metrology artefacts. It can be used on linear rails to ensure that they are straight, square, flat, parallel and level, as well as to assess spindle direction and coaxiality of rotary machines.
Measuring geometric and rotational errors during machine build, maintenance and service, enables accurate alignment and adjustment of machine axes to achieve optimum performance. This reduces time during machine assembly processes and on-site service, including regular maintenance or following a collision.
