| Linear error compensation software
Most CNC machine tools have an error map in their controller to compensate for the errors in axis positioning and motion. The ML10 can check for these remaining errors and then, using this software, calculate compensation values which can be automatically uploaded into CNC machine controllers to improve postioning performance.

| RLE20 interferometer enhances performance of Vistec Lithography’s latest e-beam tool
Vistec Lithography’s (previously Leica Microsystems) VB300 e-beam lithography tool is a development of the highly successful VB6 series introduced in 1993. In designing the new tool, Vistec identified that a reduction of noise-induced positional errors would significantly improve tool performance. Through a combination of improved mechanical rigidity and integration of the Renishaw RLE20 differential interferometer based encoder system, these errors are now expected to be 3 nm. [38 kB] | |
