Calibration of highly accurate, compact multisensor measuring systems, CMMs and machine tools is typically a time-consuming task.
ETALON LINECAL speeds up calibration by making it simpler to acquire the geometrical deviations of highly accurate systems.
LINECAL is particularly useful for machines that have to be calibrated repeatedly, or for repeat calibrations of the same type of machines, for example in machine production facilities. It deploys an aluminium frame for arranging the measuring lines, which is specifically tailored to the type of machine to be tested.
Within the scope of the measurement, the machine automatically runs all installed measuring lines sequentially and detects the deviations of the machine through a multi-channel interferometer. And it measures all of the 21 systematic geometry deviations recognised by ISO230-1, which determine the accuracy of a 3-axis machine.
The easy-to-use TRAC-CAL and TRAC-CHECK software support LINECAL to determine with sub-micron accuracy positioning deviations, straightness deviations in both directions, yaw, roll and pitch as well as the squareness of the axes to each other. Volumetric compensation data can be generated directly in control-specific formats.
