The setting up of the machine-tools geometry and generally speaking of other production machines has always been complex and very important, directly related to the machine dimensions. If the geometry setting were to be done by several instruments, it can easily happen that the sum of the measuring errors could result in significant errors on the final accuracy; moreover the setting up time is often very long.
The HAMAR LASER alignment system operates in a very short time and easily produces all the geometrical controls needed, with micrometric resolutions for distances up to 60 m with a high repeatability; in addition the wireless connections allow the operator to manage the system very easily avoiding long cable handling problems.
All system components are powered by rechargeable batteries (except for laser scanner). The Measuring principle is based on an emission of a rotating laser beam, which produces one or more reference laser planes (depending on the model), perpendicular among themselves up to 1 arc/second.
One or more targets properly positioned on the machine axis, provide to a digital indicator the position deviation related to the reference plane/planes; in one, two or three directions (X, Y, Z).
For a machine-tool, a geometric control of motion-straightness, surfaces-flatness, axis-perpendicularity and guides-parallelism (ex. Gantry-machine) is obtainable much faster that with any other traditional instruments used.
The total accuracy, using the most precise model, is 2,5 µm/m.
Laser scanner fits into a small, portable shipping case with wheels, with its accessories (targets, “V” magnetic support, calibrated bars with extensions, battery charger and visual systems (digital readout, data display, PC interface). HAMAR LASER alignment system is delivered with N.I.S.T. certificate.
