RENISHAW BLUETOOTH BALLBAR QC20-W
Besides the rental service,we also provide on-site Ball Bar check on your machine. The Ball Bar test is able to diagnose the machine inaccuracy at the same time ,check squareness, reversal spikes, cyclic error, scaling factor, servo mismatch and more.
The QC20-W system draws on Renishaw’s many years of experience with ballbar testing and offers significant performance and operational benefits:
Bluetooth wireless technology, totally revised electronics and enhanced test capability makes the QC20-W ballbar system even simpler to use and more powerful than its QC10 predecessor.
At the same time, test processes and results are compatible for QC10 users.

MACHINE CALIBRATION SERVICE & RENTAL SERVICE.
Machine tool calibration can be performed on new machine installations to check the accuracy promised or received, it can be also performed on annual or semi-annual basis to track machines capability or performance degradation due to wear.
Leadscrew compensation files may be updated or optimized during calibration to ensure you are getting the best possible accuracy from you machine tool investment.
Not only providing on-site machine calibration services which includes the insurance of a calibration certificate demonstrating traceability to national or international standards, we also provide rental service for those in need.
RENISHAW XL80 LASER
Portability and ease of use
The size of the XL-80 laser and XC-80 compensator means that a complete linear system can fit into a ‘wheelie-case’ and weighs only 12 kg. Add the tripod, in its own fabric case and you have a truly portable solution to machine metrology. Both the laser and compensator connect to your PC via USB so there is no separate interface required and no complicated set-up to worry about.
Accuracy and dynamic performance
Linear measurement accuracy is an assured ±0.5 ppm thanks to a precision stabilised laser source and accurate environmental compensation. Readings can be taken at up to 50 kHz, with a maximum linear measurement speed of 4 m/s and a linear resolution of 1 nm, even at maximum speed. All measurement options (not just linear) are based on interferometric measurements, giving confidence in the accuracy of the data recorded.
