2 UULA User Manual
The UULA User Manual is integrated into the software and can be opened by selecting Help from the
header.
FocalSpec 3D Line Confocal Scanner UULA is an optical 3D imaging and metrology system for accurate sub-micron
measurements on any material. It provides:
•
Automated, high speed and high precision analysis of challenging surfaces and shapes, such as mirror-like, curved
or multi-layered transparent objects.
•
Easy, accurate and repeatable measurements.
The applicable measurement standards are:
•
ISO 25178 3D height and functional bearing ratio parameters
•
ISO 4287 2D primary and roughness parameters
•
ASME B46.1 3D and 2D parameters
•
EUR 15178 amplitude and area & volume parameters
•
DIN (Germany), JIS (Japan), GB/T (China), NF (France), BSI (UK), UNI (Italy), UNE (Spain) equivalents of ISO
parameters
Analysis and data editing:
•
Full set of surface roughness/waviness filters including Gaussian (ISO 16610-61), cubic spline filter (ISO
16610-62), robust Gaussian filter (ISO 16610-71).
•
PDF, RTF, screen and print quality bitmaps, Excel-compatible numerical results for compatibility with quality
management and other systems.
This manual covers both machine versions: an earlier model without the motorized Z stage (referred to as "U_XY")
and the current model with motorized Z stage (referred to as "U_XYZ"). Please refer to the section of the manual
which reflects your machine version.
This manual also covers the operation of the optional rotary table. If the delivered content does not include the rotary
table, those parts of the manual are not valid.
2.1 Recommendations
2.1.1 Measurement Table
It is recommended to install UULA measurement system on a stone table or firm worktable, which is suitable for the
scanner weight (120 kg / 265 lbs) and does not wobble underneath the scanner. It is advisable to:
1.
Level the table horizontally.
2.
Set the scanner in place.
3.
Level the scanner using the adjustable legs.
The scanner dimensions are 600 * 880 * 950 mm / 24 * 34.6 * 37.4 inches (D*W*H).
The measurement operation requires using the computer, and a good view of the measuring table. Thus, convenient
access to both the scanner and computer are needed. It is recommended to place both the computer and the scanner on
the same table, which is at least 160 cm (63”) wide.
