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” or 0.00001 mm. Standard sensors automatically
compensate for environmental factors, such
as barometric pressure, air temperature and material temperature to compensate for thermal expansion. Optodyne
calibration systems are 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 Dr. Charles Wang, Ph.D.
Optodyne is ISO/IEC 17025
accredited, which requires a quality system similar to ISO 9000, plus testing and calibration equipment, as well as
knowledgeable testing and calibration
personnel. For more information contact:
