Circular & non-circular contouring

The MCV-500 with LB-500 is designed for the dynamic circular contouring error measurement. A PolarCheck program can be used to diagnosis the machine errors. The measurement is non-contact and the radius can be varied continuously to a very small radius. Furthermore, the true radius, feed rate and acceleration/deceleration can also be measured. For more details, click on LB-500. Click on Technical Article #11 for the basic theory and test results, and Ap-1111 for the harmonic motion test on the acceleration and deceleration motion.
