The Role of Renishaw XL 80 Laser Calibration System in the Printing Industry

The printing industry has existed for centuries and does not appear to be dying out anytime soon. The printing industry has adapted to the digital age by embracing 3D printing. But even as things change, one thing remains the same: the need for precision and accuracy.

That’s where Renishaw’s XL80 laser alignment services come in. The system can calibrate 3D printers, ensuring they print with the highest accuracy and precision. The laser-based system is quick and easy to use, and it won’t slow down a production line.

Case Study: Inca Digital Printers

The flatbed inkjet press from Inca Digital Printers will revolutionize screen printing. Large-sized photographs may print on hard or flexible materials using the new machines. UV-cure inks do not need lamination or coating after printing. This is ideal for signs, point-of-purchase displays, and illuminated posters.

Sixteen print heads are carried over the printing surface by a crossbeam. Print head location is within microns, with an aligned moving table and crosshead.

Each printer must follow precise calibration to achieve high-quality prints. That’s where Renishaw’s XL 80 laser calibration system comes in. Renishaw RG2 linear encoders give motion control feedback. The system ensures that each printer prints with pinpoint accuracy, essential for achieving the high-quality prints Inca customers expect.

The XL 80 system uses a helium-neon laser source and an environmental compensation unit to achieve +/-0.7 ppm linear accuracy. This unit can input environmental data to adjust the control system of specific machines. This real-time compensation ensures accuracy across the entire environmental spectrum.

At the Cutting Edge of Technology

Inca is a newcomer to the digital printing scene. Still, it is already at the cutting edge of technology, having sold nearly 50 printers to 15 countries.

The benefits of using the Renishaw XL 80 machine laser alignment system are clear. Inca can produce high-quality prints quickly and easily without slowing production. The Renishaw XL 80 is an essential part of the Inca printing process.
