OPTODYNE'S MCV-2002 Linear and Angular Machine
Calibration Instrument calibrates CNC machine tools, CMM's
(Coordinate Measuring Machines), and other precision
measurement machines and stages. Angular, straightness and
flatness measurements can be made "onthe-fly". The unique dual
beam design provides a rapid means to measure the surface
flatness of surface plates, optical tables, machine tools, and
bearing guides.
OPTODYNE'S machine calibration instruments are based on
our proprietary and patented Laser Doppler Displacement
Meter (LDDMTM) technology. The total system is compact
providing easy, convenient storage and transporting. Easy set-up
procedures reduce overall machine calibration time, especially
where multiple axes are involved. This, coupled with a modest
initial investment, provides continual savings.
The MCV-2002 dual beam system design provides the user a
simple, easy-to-operate angular and linear capability in a single
instrument. It is like "having two interferometers in one". One
beam collects the angular data while the other beam monitors the
linear position. The user friendly software, running on a laptop
or notebook computer, collects and analyzes this data. The data
can then be displayed on screen or printed in tabular or graphic
form.
