Renishaw Carto 4.2 software provides unlimited measurement range for calibrator

Renishaw has released the latest Carto software suite for its calibration products. Carto 4.2 utilizes dynamic data fit functionality to allow the company’s XM-60 multiaxis calibrator to quickly capture and analyze data from linear axes of any length.

These calibrators directly measure all 6 degrees of freedom (linear, vertical and horizontal straightness, pitch, yaw, and roll) on any form of linear axis. With the addition of the new long-range measurement functionality in this software, unlimited measurement range is now possible for the first time, the company states.

The dynamic data fit functionality within the Capture application allows the calibrators to capture straightness measurements dynamically. The test data is recalculated in this application to reduce outlying data points. This improved method offers greater resilience to environmental interference and a better representation of straightness errors for longer axes.

The software is available to download for free at www.renishaw.com/carto.
