Automated Precision Inc. (API), a developer of advanced metrology solutions, has announced the release of its redesigned XD Laser and the all-new wireless SwivelCheck. These innovations mark a significant leap forward in machine tool calibration, delivering enhanced performance and user convenience.
Machine tools are the lifeblood of manufacturing. Much of quality control is dedicated to ensuring the accuracy of parts after they have left the machine. Proper maintenance and calibration of the machines, however, can help identify problems before they arise and save significant budget otherwise spent on rework, manhours and scrapped parts.
API pioneered advanced machine tool calibration with Dr. Kam Lau’s invention of the straight-line interferometer for axial measurement of CNC machines. API’s XD Laser remains the only machine tool calibration laser that provides 6DoF measurement data for all axis errors in a single setup. And that innovation continues in the next generation of MTC products from API.
Redesigned XD Laser: Precision and stability redefined
The XD Laser has been meticulously redesigned to offer performance and ease-of-use improvements while
The XD Laser. Source: API maintaining XD’s unmatched measurement speed and accuracy. Key enhancements include:
