Automatic goniometer GONIOMAT A5

compactcost-effective

The fully automatic GONIOMAT A5 based on the design of the manual GONIOMAT M product line and therefore it is just as usable, compact, portable and flexible. The GONIOMAT A5 does not require compressed air to achieve a measurement accuracy of 1.0 arc seconds. The user-friendly control is done by the proven GONIOMATIK Software. It is the cost-effective alternative to the fully automatic GONIOMAT APlus. Features The GONIOMAT A5 distinguishes itself from conventional goniometers by the following features: • Short measuring times possible due to manual movement of the rotary table • Higher measuring accuracy as compared to the GONIOMAT M product line due to the drive used • Precision bearing and robust maintenance-free drive • No compressed air is needed • Special high precision autocollimator with a large measurement range and a digital camera • Three dimensional acquisition and analysis of the autocollimation images • Integrated optical ray-tracing analysis of the measurement data • Integrated laser finder for easy finding of smallest specimen surfaces Measuring Process • The operator places the specimen on the measurement table • The operator selects the type of specimen (prism, polygon, etc.) through the software menu • The operator starts the automatic measurement process • The software acquires all surface positions by rotating the measurement table automatically • The software reconstructs the prism's geometry utilizing an optical raytracing analysis on the measurement data • The software outputs the surface angles
