Renishaw has announced the launch of its new XC100 environmental compensator at IMTS 2026 and AMB 2026. Building on the company’s XC-80 technology, the XC100 provides real-time automatic wavelength correction and achieves a linear laser measurement accuracy of 0.4 ppm.
The XC100 measures air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity to automatically adjust the measured laser wavelength. It also measures material temperature, allowing calibration results from machines operating at different temperatures to be normalised to a standard temperature.
The compensator is compatible with Renishaw’s XL-80 laser interferometer, XM-60 and XM-600 multi-axis calibrators, and CARTO software. This enables its use across Renishaw’s calibration product range.
Designed for maximum flexibility, the XC100 compensator supports any combination of air and material sensors, enabling comprehensive measurement of environmental conditions throughout the machine volume. The high-resolution LCD touchscreen display, flexible sensor configuration and versatile mounting features help users adapt the system for a range of calibration applications.
“The XC100 simplifies the process of precision laser calibration,” said Laurence Rosser, Product Manager at Renishaw. “By combining real-time environmental monitoring with seamless CARTO software integration, users can be confident in their measurement results, even in changing conditions.”
See the XC100 environmental compensator in action at IMTS 2026, Chicago, USA, from 14 to 19 September and at AMB 2026, Stuttgart, Germany from 15 to 19 September.
