OPTODYNE ANNOUNCES: NEW ROTARY AXIS CALIBRATION SYSTEM
New System
Calibrates Large Rotary Tables, and A, B and C Rotary Axes of 5-axis Machine Tools.
COMPTON, CA—OCTOBER 28, 2002—Optodyne Inc., the leader in laser
measurement, calibration and compensation
systems, today has announced the new system
for the calibration of rotary tables, or A, B and C rotary axes of 5-axis
machines. Calibration of rotary axes
using the new system provides higher accuracy, consistency and reduces machine downtime. The system features a new
motorized turntable, providing automatic
data collection and Windows compatible software for ease of use.
“Our new calibration system for large
rotary tables and rotary axes on 5-axis machine tools simplifies the calibration process by reducing
downtime from a day or more to a few
hours,” said Charles Wang, Ph.D., president of Optodyne. “Simplifying
data collection, reducing machine downtime
and increasing accuracy through process automation delivers tangible value to our customers,
manifesting itself in repeat business and
profitability.” The motorized turntable is
designed for the calibration of large rotary tables or the rotary A, B, and C axes of large gantry and 5-axis machine
tools. The motorized turntable is
programmed to return the dual-retroreflector to the starting position
automatically after the data is collected
at each user-specified increment. This eliminates reaching for the turntable and manually returning it to the
start position. In addition, complete
360 degree, bidirectional multiple runs can be performed automatically.
The rotary table calibration system
features a motorized turntable and new Windows compatible software that processes data for multiple
bidirectional runs, generates compensation
files and performs statistical analysis. The system is an
accessory for the Aerospace Laser
Calibration System MCV-5003, MCV 2002 and RT-100. Optodyne’s
calibration systems are based on LDDM technology, which reflects a
