Ecosystem fit: The XC100 works with the XL-80 laser interferometer, XM-60 and XM-600 multi-axis calibrators, and CARTO software.
- Launch venues: Renishaw announced the XC100 environmental compensator at IMTS 2026 and AMB 2026, with showcases in Chicago, USA from 14 to 19 September and Stuttgart, Germany from 15 to 19 September.
- Core capability: Building on XC-80 technology, the XC100 provides real-time automatic wavelength correction with an improved 0.4 ppm linear laser measurement accuracy.
- Environmental sensing: The system measures air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, and material temperature, enabling results to be normalised to a standard temperature.
- Configuration flexibility: Any combination of air and material sensors is supported, alongside a high-resolution LCD touchscreen and versatile mounting options.
Renishaw has announced the launch of its XC100 environmental compensator, set to appear at IMTS 2026 and AMB 2026. The system builds on the company's proven XC-80 technology and is aimed squarely at one of the more persistent variables in precision calibration: the environment around the machine.
Compensation beyond the laser beam
The XC100 delivers real-time automatic wavelength correction, achieving an improved 0.4 ppm linear laser measurement accuracy. It measures air temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity, then adjusts the measured laser wavelength automatically. Material temperature is also measured, which allows calibration results from machines operating at different temperatures to be normalised to a standard temperature — a practical consideration for anyone comparing machines across a shop floor that does not hold a single thermal state.
Flexibility in the machine volume
The XC100 supports any combination of air and material sensors, enabling comprehensive measurement of environmental conditions throughout the machine volume. A high-resolution LCD touchscreen display, flexible sensor configuration, and versatile mounting options are intended to let users adapt the setup to a range of calibration applications rather than forcing a fixed arrangement.
Compatibility covers the XL-80 laser interferometer, the XM-60 and XM-600 multi-axis calibrators, and CARTO software, keeping the compensator within Renishaw's existing calibration workflow.
"The XC100 simplifies the process of precision laser calibration. By combining real-time environmental monitoring with seamless CARTO software integration, users can be confident in their measurement results, even in changing conditions."
— Laurence Rosser, Product Manager at Renishaw
Where to see it
The XC100 will be showcased at IMTS 2026 in Chicago, USA from 14 to 19 September, and at AMB 2026 in Stuttgart, Germany from 15 to 19 September.
