System overview
XL laser
The XL laser system is a modular system, capable of measuring displacement,
velocity, angular (pitch and yaw) displacement, flatness, straightness, parallelism
and squareness, depending on the measurement kits supplied.
The XL laser is a single frequency
HeNe laser. It produces an
extremely stable laser beam, with
a wavelength that is traceable
back to national and international
standards.
XL-80Q quadrature laser
The XL-80 quadrature laser allows ‘raw’ interferometry signals to be supplied to
custom-designed circuitry. This allows the laser to be used as a linear encoder
system (not designed for closed loop feedback).
The quadrature signals are accessed via the auxiliary I/O connector on the
XLlaser rear panel. The option provides two levels of user-selectable quadrature
resolution – 80 nm and 10 nm (see Appendix A for more information).
XL-80Q may have export control restrictions in your region.
Please contact your local Renishaw subsidiary for further
information.
