OPTODYNE ANNOUNCES: NEW MCV 500 LASER CALIBRATION SYSTEM
ENABLES PITCH AND YAW ANGULAR ERROR MEASUREMENT
18
Errors Measured by an affordable MCV 500 Laser Calibration System.
Setups are very quick with the MCV 500 because only two components need to be
aligned, the laser head assembly and the retroreflector. The laser head and
retroreflector mount on the machine tool, eliminating the need for a
floor-mounted tripod and providing higher accuracy, convenience and additional
time-savings. Usually, enclosures, fixtures and tooling do not need to be
dismantled or removed. The MCV 500 provides a run
speed of up to 160 in/sec (4 m/sec), four
times the speed of a conventional interferometer system. The compact laser head measures 2” x 2” x 8.5”, 10 times smaller than
a conventional laser interferometer system.
The lightweight MCV 500 calibration system fits in a briefcase with a total
weight of 20 lbs.
Based on LDDM technology, the MCV 500 reflects a modulated
laser beam off of a movable target. The beam
is detected and processed for displacement information used by the control to
determine position. The laser head features a stability
check of better than 0.1 PPM, accuracy of 1.0 PPM and
resolution up to 0.000001” (0.00001 mm). The MCV 500 is calibrated and
traceable to NIST and analysis software supports NMTBA, VDI, ISO and ASME B5.54
standards.
Optodyne, a California corporation, develops, manufactures and markets
laser-based precision measurement equipment for machine tool calibration,
metrology, OEM, and other industrial applications that require precision
measurement through a worldwide distribution network. The company's products are
based on the patented Laser Doppler Displacement Meter (LDDM) technology developed by
Charles Wang, Ph.D. Optodyne is
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, which requires a quality system similar to ISO
9000, and testing and calibration equipment, as well as knowledgeable testing
and calibration
personnel.
