Automated Precision Inc. (http://www.apisensor.com) announces the official launch of the XD Series Laser Measurement System (http://www.apisensor.com/xdlaser) today. The XD Laser provides unparalleled productivity for machine tool calibration. The system is designed to grow with the needs of a customer. The New Series includes four models with the capability to measure Linearity, Straightness, Pitch, Yaw and Roll. The XD Laser can measure the geometric error of a three-axis machine in two hours compared to days for competitive laser systems.
The XD Series Laser offers many industry firsts:
• Integrated Controller – Eliminates controller and external cables
• High measurement speed – Fastest in the industry – greater than 3 m/sec
• All digital Weather Station – Flexible support for up to 5 temperature sensors
• Dynamic Analysis – Measure Velocity, Acceleration and Vibration - FFT (Option)
• Ethernet communications – High speed data transmission to laptop (Wireless option is available)
The new XD Laser System offers users numerous advancements, scalability and measurement productivity. “With this modular product, we can now offer our customers the ability to measure all six degrees of freedom simultaneously in a single setup” said CEO Dr. Kam Lau. “The XD series offers unparalleled productivity for machine tool, lathe, and coordinate measurement machine calibration.” mentioned Dr. Lau.
The XD Series is an advancement of the industry proven API 5/6D laser. The new XD laser still maintains the previous generation’s competence in measurement accuracy while giving customers more measurement solutions.
Included with all systems is API’s Winner© software. The software provides enhanced modularity and ease of measurement and compensation.
