The XR20-W addresses the need for quick and easy testing on a wide range of machines and axis types. It does this by keeping all the features that made its RX10 predecessor a success but adding much simpler set up and operation.
Features and benefits Automated calibration - The XR20-W is motorised and data capture is synchronized to axis movement, i.e. no operator intervention required during data capture.
High accuracy and repeatability - Measurement accuracy of ±1 arc second. All Renishaw systems are factory calibrated and delivered with traceable certification.
Use of Renishaw laser system - Provides a high integrity, non-contact reference measurement, remote from the axis under test.
The features above have been carried across from RX10, however the totally new design of XR20-W delivers many additional benefits:
Wireless operation
Lithium batteries and Bluetooth® communications give truly wireless operation
Provides for easier and quicker set up and avoids issues with trailing cables, eliminating the safety hazard these create
Flexible mounting system
The measurement system is now separate from the mounting system
This modular approach allows far simpler and quicker set-up and can be configured for a wide variety of rotary tables, lathes and other rotary axes Compact and light weight
Handling and fixing on machine can be achieved single handed
Easy cost effective transportation
Clearance issues on machine minimized Off axis capability
Unique software* allows use of XR20-W in many machine configurations where it is difficult to mount the system directly on the machines rotary axis pivot point
Provides a solution for testing many five axis machines * When used with suitable mounting bracket
New data collection software
Enables quicker and more consistent test set up to give faster test results with increased confidence
Integrated target and alignment optics
Factory set alignment of retro-reflectors to XR20-W measurement axis minimizes alignment and resulting measurement errors
A simple optical alignment aid helps minimize measurement errors. Alignment adjustments can even be made via software, providing quicker and safer working for the operator
Extended auto calibration and pre-test cycles
Pre-measurement calibration cycle compensates for remaining angular alignment errors
Data sampling during test overrun detects and sets axis direction sense and axis feedrate
Servo controlled drive
Rotary axis measurement speeds for larger angles (›5°) of up to 10 rpm
Uses unique, integrated rotary encoder technology
