Measuring Levelness
1.
Level the laser using the built-in level vials.
2.
Place a target on one reference point, adjust it up or down so that it detects the laser plane, and
zero the target.
3.
Moved the target to any other point on the surface to see the deviation of that point from the
reference point.
Measuring Parallelism
1.
Buck in the laser plane to three reference points on the first surface (see
Measuring Flatness
).
2.
Place a target on the second surface on one reference point and adjust the target so it detects
the laser plane.
3.
Zero the target.
4.
Move the target to other points on the surface.
Any deviation from the reference point is a measure of the parallelism of the first surface to the
second.
Note: At least three points should be measured. The best way to determine parallelism is to measure
both surfaces with the laser plane and enter the data into Hamar Laser’s
Plane5
software, which
calculates the least-squares best-fit plane for both surfaces and then compares them. When using
Plane5
, the "buck-in" procedure is not necessary because the software removes the slope error from
the laser not being parallel to the surface.
Level to Earth Measurements
The leveling of machine tools, surface plates and different types of bases can be performed using
scanning lasers, as follows:
Setting Up and Leveling the Laser
1.
Place the laser on any stable steel surface such as a machine bed or an L-106 floor stand.
2.
Twist the magnetic lever on the base of the unit to the “ON” position.
This locks the instrument down securely to the surface.
3.
Plug in and power on the laser.
4.
Turn the adjustment knobs and adjust the tilt of the laser to exactly center the level bubble in
each of the level vials.
5.
Place a target on the unit that needs to be leveled or adjusted.
Adjust the target height so that the beam scans near the middle of the target cell. Zero the readout.
6.
Set the target on various places on the surface to be leveled and adjust the unit until the readout
reads zero.
Once the laser has been leveled and the target has been set to zero, these two units will not be
adjusted any further. Any further adjustments will be made in the unit to be leveled.
Note:
Some users prefer to take readings at the various leveling points to find the highest point, and
then use the highest point to set the target to zero and bring all the other points up to this height.
