5th axis Rotary measurement with RENISHAW XR-20 INSTRUMENT.
Key features and descriptions.
Some years before doing the 5th axis calibration were almost impossible without proper jigs, fixtures & some drillings. But with Latest Renishaw OFF AXIS Technology with XR20-Wit is as simple to do calibration of Swivel axis.
Off axis rotary software
Renishaw’s off axis rotary software allows the user to:
- Automatically calculate the offset distance between the centre of rotation of the XR20-W and the centre of rotation of the rotary axis
- Generate a test part program (which synchronises rotary axis and linear axis moves to maintain laser beam alignment)
- Remove any contributory linear axis angular error from the observed rotary axis results, giving ‘clean’ results for the rotary axis
