OPTODYNE’s SD-500 Volumetric Calibration Package, (Patent Pending) is an add-on package to OPTODYNE’s MCV-500, Linear-Machine Calibration System.The combined system provides a rapid and efficient way of measuring a machine’s volumetric accuracy over the working volume. The system can be used to calibrate CNC machine tools, and CMM’s (Coordinate Measuring Machines). Based on the Laser Doppler Displacement Meter (LDDM) technology, and the “Vector” measurement technique, the volumetric errors including three displacement errors, six straightness errors, and three squareness errors can be measured in hours instead of in days required using conventional techniques. The performance of a machine tool is determined by the volumetric accuracy. With many of the CNC controls available today, the measured volumetric errors can be used to improve the machine accuracy by volumetric compensation (straightness compensation, cross compensation or sag compensation etc). The Windowssoftware, running on any notebook PC, is user friendly and designed to collect and analyze data. MAJOR FEATURES AND BENEFITS Easy to setup and operate. Measure volumetric errors including linear, straightness, and squareness. Quick and efficient measurement. High accuracy and repeatability. N.I.S.T. traceable laser accuracy. Windowssoftware and Notebook PC. Automatic environmental compensation. Compact and portable. MAJOR APPLICATIONS Calibration of CNC machine tools and CMM’s. Squareness of machine axes. Quality Control Maintenance. Quick check of volumetric accuracy. Identify error sources
