Flatness Program
8.1.1
Short explanation
The Flatness Program is applied to measure the flatness of different planes compared to a reference
surface, which is formed by the laser beam. The measurement points of the plane can be arranged
circular or rectangular with constant or variable bars. The plane can also include milling groves. Up to
1600 measurement points can be used as absolute values or calculated to a best-fit plane. Moreover, 3
points can be assembled to a reference plane.
Procedure: Plan the measurement and mark the points where the receiver shall be placed. Align the laser
towards X- and Y- direction within 0,5 mm and start the Flatness Program. Use the S or M sensor as a
receiver.
The receiver should be placed with its label facing upwards.
