Renishaw's laser calibration offering has been significantly enhanced with the release of "XCal-View' software, an all new laser data analysis package for use with data captured from the XL-80, ML10 laser calibration systems and XR20-W rotary axis calibrator. The new software allows users greater control in their analysis of data than ever before. This is achieved through significant new functionality incorporating simple data manipulation and greater flexibility in the way that data can be compared, displayed, formatted and viewed.
XCal-View provides analysis of the most universally used measurement types in CNC machine tool calibration with linear, angular, rotary, straightness, squareness and parallelism measurement analysis available to the user. Analysis is supported for data files captured using Renishaw's LaserXL, RotaryXL and Laser10 software programs ensuring that all Renishaw laser users are catered for.
Some of the new features available with XCal-View include:
All of these new and improved features to be found in XCal-View assure an improved user experience, an increased rate of analysis along with a high degree of user customisation and control. This all makes for a valuable addition to all users of Renishaw laser calibration equipment.
Importantly, XCal-View is the first part of a planned suite of new software covering data capture, analysis and error compensation. Early users will therefore benefit not just from future upgrades of XCal-View but also the close integration with these upcoming, additional modules.
