2 Major
Features and Comparison 1. Why LDDM is better? The
performance is higher and more flexible. The system is more efficient and
accurate, easier to setup and operation,
more compact and lower cost. What are the benefits? Higher performance with lower cost. Very good return on
investment (ROI). 2. Why LDDM is more compact? The laser head is single aperture and a small retroreflector is
used as target. Hence all of the optical
components are smaller. The laser head can be mounted directly on the
machine and there is no need for a heavy
tripod. What are the
benefits? The laser head can be
mounted directly on the machine for easy and fast setup and alignment. Movement of the machine on its leveling pads or
isolation foundation does not influence the
measurements. The complete system can be fitted into a single small
carrying case for easy transportation and
storage. 3. Why LDDM is more efficient? For MCV-2002, there are two laser interferometers in one head.
Hence the displacement error and the
angular error can be measured simultaneously.For
MCV-500 or MCV-5000, the patented vector
method can measure all the positioning errors, including 3 displacement errors, 6 straightness errors and 3 squareness
errors, in a few hours instead of a few
days. What are the
benefits? It automatically collects
more data in a short time. Hence it reduces expensive machine
downtime. 4. Why LDDM is easier to setup and align? The laser head is very small. With a magnetic holder, it
can easily be mounted directly on the
machine. There are only 2 elements to be aligned instead of 3 elements. Hence
the alignment is easier.
What are the benefits?
It reduces the expensive machine
downtime and less training for the operator. 5. Why LDDM is flexible? The laser system can use either a small retroreflector or a
flat-mirror as target Hence it is more flexible. What are the benefits? It
can measure the static volumetric positioning accuracy, the dynamic contouring
accuracy and the spindle error motion.
It can perform both calibrating and compensating the static positioning errors, and monitoring and optimizing
the dynamic servo parameters.
