Off-axis rotary measurement mode
The Off-axis rotary measurement mode in CARTO, provides a single source for testing off-axis measurement using the XR20 rotary axis calibrator and XL-80 laser system.
Off-axis rotary measurement mode allows the user to:
- automatically calculate the offset distance between the centre of rotation of the XR20 rotary axis calibrator and the centre of rotation of the rotary axis
- generate a test part program (which synchronises rotary axis and linear axis moves to maintain laser beam alignment)
- remove any contributory linear axis angular error from the observed rotary axis results, giving 'clean' results for the rotary axis
Supplied as an activation ID compatible with Windows 10 64-bit (version 1803 or greater).
Compensate
Semi-automatic error correction in native machine tool language
Compensate allows you to minimise scrap and save costs through:
- easy geometric error correction,
- improved positioning performance,
- reduced downtime editing compensation tables.
Pitch compensation
Provides easy updates of linear and straightness and rotary compensation tables for controls with supported options.
