(API: Rockville, MD) -- Automated Precision Inc. (API), a global leader in advanced metrology solutions, has released its redesigned XD laser and the new wireless SwivelCheck. These innovations mark a significant leap forward in machine tool calibration, delivering enhanced performance and user convenience.

Machine tools are the lifeblood of manufacturing. Much of quality control is dedicated to ensuring the accuracy of parts after they have left the machine. Proper maintenance and calibration of the machines, however, can help identify problems before they arise and save significant budget otherwise spent on rework, man-hours, and scrapped parts.

API pioneered advanced machine tool calibration with Kam Lau’s invention of the straight-line interferometer for axial measurement of CNC machines. API’s XD laser remains the only machine tool calibration laser that provides 6 DoF measurement data for all axis errors in a single setup. That innovation continues in the next generation of MTC products from API.
