MEASUREMENT METHOD
The straightness measurement is performed
by placing a laser beam along the axis of
motion. The laser beam is fixed and work as a
reference during the entire measurement. The
SM sensor is mounted on the measuring
object in a position so the laser beam hits the
2-axis detector on the sensor. The SM sensor
measures the position in two directions (b and
a) when the object is moved to different
measurement positions along its axis of
motion. The distances between measuring
points are also entered in the measurement.
When all measuring points are recorded, the
system will recalculate the results with a best-
fit calculation or according to selected
reference points.
The results are presented in a graph and in a
list and can be saved in the memory manager
on the system.
The pitch/roll measurement is performed by
using the MEAX LM and LR sensors which
measures the angular difference towards
gravity in two directions (α and β).
The LM sensor is mounted on the tool
holder/carriage and measures the angular
deviation in the different measuring points
along the axis of motion.
The LR sensor is mounted on a fixed position
on the machine foundation. It records the
angular movements of the machine while the
measurements are recorded.
The results from pitch/roll measurements are
presented in a graph and in a list.
In the result screen, the user can toggle
between showing the results of the
straightness and pitch/roll.
