Optodyne's DI-500 non-contact laser dial-indicatoris an add-on package to Optodyne's MCV-500 laser calibration system. The combined system can be used to perform non-contact displacement measurement of a polished surface, such as a flat-mirror or a cylinder. Hence it can be used as a mechanical dial-indicator without mechanical contact and with high accuracy. Typical applications are measuring the spindle run-out at high speed; measuring the accuracy of a rotational angle of a 5-axis machine; replacing a mechanical straightedge by an "optical" straightedge (ASME B5.54 Section 5.8.2.2); replacing a mechanical square-edge by an "optical" square-edge (ASME B5.54 Section 5.8.4.1) etc. Furthermore, reversal technique may provide an in-situ calibration of the optical straight-edge and optical square-edge. A unique property of the MCV-500 laser calibration system is the single aperture optical arrangement. Since both the outgoing laser beam and the return laser beam are using the same aperture, it is possible to use a flat-mirror as the target. By aligning the flat-mirror to be perpendicular to the laser beam, the mirror motion along the laser beam MAJOR FEATURES AND BENEFITS Easy to setup and operate No mechanical contact NIST traceable laser accuracy Compact and light weight Quick and efficient measurement Versatile and flexible MAJOR APPLICATIONS Measuring spindle run-out at high speed Measuring angular accuracy of Rotational axes of a 5-axis machine Measuring straightness and squareness Non-contact measurement of precision displacement Specifications
