I have written recently about rapid machine-tool verification and Etalon Multiline which enables self-calibrating machine tools. While both of these technologies have an important role to play in improving quality, the Renishaw XM-60 multi-axis calibrator may be a more significant development. This laser interferometer system is used to perform a fairly conventional laser calibration process. What sets it apart is that all six degrees of freedom for a given axis can be calibrated simultaneously …
