XM multi-axis calibrator

Other accessories for use on CMMs

Additional accessories are available to allow flexible use of the XM system (see Appendix E). These can be used to:
Pan / Tilt Adaptor
• Elevate the launch unit. This may be
useful when the machine has otherwise
insufficient axis travel to move receiver
to required position.
• Use the XM system when there are no
convenient mounting surfaces that are
parallel or perpendicular to the direction
of machine travel.
• Rapidly change launch unit orientation
between horizontal and vertical.
CMM table plate adaptor
• Provide a base on which to support the launch unit when a convenient
magnetic surface is not available on the machine (compatible with threaded
hardware up to M12).
• Overhang the XM launch unit to enable the full travel of an axis to be
measured.
Steel mounting plate
• Provide a repeatable, magnetic
mounting point for the XM launch unit
and the 90° bracket, such as on the
length bar plate, pan/tilt adaptor or
customer-designed fixturing.
Machine optics mounting kit
• Use the XM system where a
magnetic mounting location for
the receiver is not convenient.
• Assemble lightweight mounting
solutions for the XM receiver.
• Quickly and conveniently mount
the XM receiver onto the quill of
a CMM in place of a Renishaw
head.
