How to measure straightness with the XK10 alignment laser system

Measuring the reference face of a machine tool casting. Renishaw’s XK10 alignment laser system has been developed for use during the build and alignment of machine tools. It can be used on linear rails to ensure they are straight, square, flat parallel and level, as well as to assess spindle direction and coaxiality of rotary machines. These factors can be measured and aligned with the XK10 during build, using the systems live display. The XK10 easily measures vertical and horizontal straightness along an axis. Live error readings allow adjustments to be made to the machine during the alignment process. For more information visit: https://www.renishaw.com/xk10
