OpticImagePart numberDescription
Long range linear accessory kit Long range optics kitA-8003-4270

These optics enable linear measurements to be taken on axis lengths to 80 m. The kit includes a large retroreflector and target (to enable easier alignment at long range) and a periscope assembly which 'captures' the return beam and redirects it into the laser shutter.

XL-80 range = 80 m. ML10 standard range is 40 m; ML10X is required for 80 m range.

Small linear optics kit Small linear optics kitA-8003-3244The small linear optics kit allows your Renishaw laser system to be used in applications where a small and light measurement retroreflector is desirable, minimising its effect on a machine's dynamic performance and providing greater flexibility in mounting options.

The kit includes a small, lightweight retroreflector (10% of standard unit) and a separate beam reducer optic which reduces the diameter of, and the separation between, the outward and return laser beams.

Maximum range 4 m.

Universal (straightness) shutter Universal (Straightness) ShutterA-8003-4209

A special shutter assembly to rotate the return port in the shutter by 90°. When used with straightness optics this allows for straightness measurement in the vertical axis.

Straightness accessory kit Straightness accessory kitA-8003-4259Kit includes
  • 1 straightness shutter
  • 1 large retroreflector
  • 1 adjustable turning mirror
  • 1 straightness base

This kit allows straightness measurements to be made in the "Z" or vertical axis of the machine with the laser pointing along either the "X or "Y" horizontal axes.

Swivel mirror Swivel MirrorA-8003-1304Allows adjustment to be made along machine diagonals, or on inclined axes. The swivel mirror can be used as an alignment aid for ANSI B5.54 diagonal measurement and is also useful when measuring slant-bed lathes.
Fixed turning mirror (90°) Fixed turning mirrorA-8003-1325This mirror is used primarily when there is restricted access to the required axis of measurement, allowing the laser beam to be re-directed.
LS350 laser beam steering opticLS350 beam steering opticA-8003-3072

Provides easy angular adjustment of the laser beam in both horizontal and vertical planes. This patented accessory eliminates the need for fine laser translation and rotation. Aligning your laser system is now a single one-step process. The LS350 laser beam steerer speeds up linear, angular and straightness measurements in any configuration.

Optics mounting kitOptics Mounting kitA-8003-0447The optics mounting kit is for use with all Renishaw measurement optics. The kit is used to mount the measurement optics to the machine under test. Additional items can be supplied on request.
Alignment targetAlignment targetA-8003-0478This 22 mm diameter alignment aid can be used with the linear, angular and straightness optics kits. It can be clipped on to the optic to align both the interferometer and retroreflectors.
HP adaptor plateHP Adaptor Plate M-8003-1307

The adaptor plate allows the use of Renishaw's swivel mirror and beam steering optics with the HP laser system.
