Accurate – an extremely stable laser frequency that is traceable to national and international standards.
The XL-80 laser has an integrated USB port. The laser features an auxiliary analogue signal output as standard, with quadrature output as a factory option. The Aux I/O socket accepts a trigger signal input for remote triggering.
The XL-80 quadrature laser is subject to export control regulations. Note: XL-80 lasers with quadrature output should not be used in a feedback system.
Accuracy and dynamic performance
Linear measurement accuracy is an assured ±0.5 ppm thanks to a precision stabilised laser source and accurate environmental compensation. Readings can be taken at up to 50 kHz, with a maximum linear measurement speed of 4 m/s and a linear resolution of 1 nm, even at maximum speed. All measurement options (not just linear) are based on interferometric measurements, giving confidence in the accuracy of the data recorded.
Ease of use
The XL-80 is quick and easy to set-up and use, reducing waiting time and increasing available measurement time, whilst still retaining the accuracy benefits of a pure interferometry based system.
Both the laser and compensator connect to a PC via USB so there is no separate interface required and no complicated set-up to worry about.
Total confidence
Quality of design, build and technical support are Renishaw's hallmarks. State of the art facilities and quality assured production that's vital whether you're dealing in microinches or nanometres. A standard 3 year warranty is evidence of our commitment to you, alongside a worldwide support network.
Portability
The size of the XL-80 laser and XC-80 compensator means that a complete linear system can fit into a ‘wheelie-case' and weighs only 12 kg. Add the tripod, in its own fabric case and you have a truly portable solution to machine metrology.

XL-80 laser features and benefits
Laser frequency accuracy | ±0.05 ppm (parts per million) over 3 years is achieved by thermal control of the laser tube's length to within nanometres. |
Linear measurement accuracy | ±0.5 ppm over the whole environmental range ie, from 0 ºC - 40 ºC (32 ºF - 104 ºF) and 650 mbar - 1150 mbar. Readings can be taken at up to 50 kHz, with a maximum linear measurement speed of 4 m/s and a linear resolution of 1 nm; even at maximum speed. |
Integrated USB | Means there is no requirement for a separate laser-to-PC interface. |
LED status lights | Indicate the laser status and signal strength, providing a convenient alternative to the software's “on-screen” indicators. |
Switchable | Between standard (40 m) and long (80 m) range modes. |
Analogue I/O port | Allows for analogue signal output and a trigger signal input. |
Warm-up time | Less than 6 minutes. |
External, switch mode power supply | Ensures 90 V - 264 V flexibility in input voltage. |
CARTO software suite | Allows measurement of linear, angular, rotary axis, straightness and squareness. For other measurement modes LaserXL is required. |
