Optical metrology accessories

Linear optics

There are two types of linear optics kits available. The standard linear optics kit is suitable for axes up to 30 m (HS20 laser only). The interferometer and retroreflector assemblies have been designed to be easily mounted to the alignment plate to the HS20 laser end of the axis.

The kit contains one linear interferometer, two linear retroreflectors with clamp screws and two alignment targets.

Features and benefits

• Easy alignment - using Renishaw's alignment targets simplifies the alignment process.
• Anti-reflective coating - Renishaw's optics contain a high quality anti-reflective coating to achieve high levels of measurement performance.
• Simple mounting - directly compatible mounting with the alignment plate results in a simple installation process.

Long range linear optics

The second linear optics kit available from Renishaw is a Long range linear optics kit suitable for axes up to 60 m (HS20 laser only).

The Long range linear optics kit includes an additional periscope and large retroreflector assembly. These allow for an increase in the offset between the two beams as they travel along the machine axis.

The kit contains one linear retroreflector, one long range linear retroreflector, one linear interferometer, one long range periscope and two alignment targets.

Features and benefits

• Easy alignment - using Renishaw's alignment targets simplifies the alignment process.
• Anti-reflective coating - Renishaw's optics contain a high quality anti-reflective coating to achieve high levels of measurement performance.
• Simple mounting - directly compatible mounting with the alignment plate results in a simple installation process.

LS06 laser beam steerer

The laser steering mechanism of the LS06 laser beam steerer is an alignment aid for the HS20 laser. This device allows easy adjustment of both the pitch and yaw of the laser beam.

The LS06 laser beam steerer mounts onto the front of the interferometer optic and is compatible with both standard and long range linear optics kits.

Features and benefits

• Beam adjustment - the LS06 laser beam steerer provides an independent 0.6 mrads pitch and yaw angular adjustment.
• Fast alignment - using the two levels to adjust the pitch and yaw allows for a quick alignment process.
• Standard mounting - directly compatible with Renishaw's interferometer assemblies allowing the beam steerer to be easily mounted.
