Single-System Solution CONTACT: Optodyne 310-635-7481 sales@optodyne.comCOMPTON, CA—July 8,
2002—Optodyne Inc., the leader in laser measurement, calibration and compensation systems, today has announced the
new MCV-5000 series that provides an 80%
reduction in the time required for volumetric calibration, compensation and dynamic performance of large 5-axis gantry
machines. The MCV-5000 series is
designed to provide high-precision manufacturers, such as aerospace,
with a single-source solution for
maintaining and documenting accuracy of machine tools. “Optodyne provides a
cost-effective alternative to outside services for maintaining and documenting the accuracy of large 5-axis gantry
machine tools with a single-package
solution,” said Charles Wang, Ph.D., president, Optodyne, Inc. “It’s
quick to setup, reduces machine downtime by
at least 50% and is easy enough to use, that with two day’s training, most machinists and technicians
can become proficient. The MCV-5000
is about time.” With the MCV-5000, the static positioning errors, angular
errors, rotary axis errors and the dynamic
performance can be measured. The static positioning errors
include three linear displacement errors,
six straightness errors, and three squareness errors. The angular errors include pitch, yaw and roll
angular errors of each axis. The rotary axis errors include the rotary A, B, and C axes of a
5-axis machine. Dynamic performance
includes servo parameter tuning, effects of feed forward and look ahead,
velocity and acceleration, and circular and
non-circular contouring. The
MCV-5000 laser calibration system uses the laser vector method for the
