Bore9 Software
Bore9 features an easy 5-step process, described briefly below, that guides the user through the alignment
process from setup to results. These results can be plotted, saved, and exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
Note: For complete instructions for using the Bore9 Software, refer to Hamar Laser’s Bore9 manual.
•
In Step 1 – Bore Setup , the user enters setup information for
the alignment check such as number of bores, distance between
bore, bore diameters and bore straightness tolerances.
• In
Step 2 - Target Mounting Error
, an easy procedure is
followed to remove mounting errors. Mounting errors must be
compensated for in order to achieve accurate results in bore and
spindle work. Bore9 uses the NORMIN method developed by
Hamar Laser to quickly and precisely cancel out these errors
and eliminate the need for complicated, expensive fixtures. The
word NORMIN is a contraction of
NORM
al-
IN
verted, which
briefly describes the method.
•
In Step 3 – Laser Setup , on-screen instructions guide the user
through setting up the laser and making it parallel to reference
points.
•
In Step 4 – Record Data , bore straightness data is recorded.
There are several different sets of data that can be taken in this
step.
• In Step 5 –Results , results of the recorded data are plotted on a
graph and a least-squares, best-fit data algorithm is applied to
generate the straightness results and to determine if they are in
or out of tolerance. Plot data can be changed to reflect the
position of the centerline of the bores relative to the end bores,
selected bore numbers, the laser beam or a “Best Fit” line. The
data for each point is recalculated automatically based upon
which references are chosen. Reports are also generated in this
step and can be customized to the four different bore references.
Comments may be added and the report can be printed with a
summary, a graph of the vertical and horizontal straightness,
comments and a table showing the recorded data.
