Machine Tool Geometry Software Analyze and correct machine tool geometry errors – flatness, straightness, squareness and parallelism Hamar Laser’s Machine Tool Geometry Software is designed for machining center alignment. The program is used with our continuously rotating laser systems to measure and analyze the lines of motion of a machine's main axes. Geometric errors, such as flatness, squareness, straightness and parallelism, are automatically downloaded through a computer interface. Program features include:   Records and analyzes misalignment data for up to 4 axes using one program Analyzes flatness, straightness, squareness and parallelism line-of-motion geometry errors for up to four main machine axes. The software provides a top view, side view and front view for more efficient data taking. Selectable setup by machine type from a pre-defined list of machines The user can select from five different machine types and the software will automatically display a graphic of the selected machine. For additional flexibility, the user can add Autocad®-generated artwork and can customize axis labels (W, X, Y, Z, etc.) for individual machine types. Real-time graphs show data as it is recorded for each line of motion When taking data, real-time graphs automatically update with each newly-recorded point for instant identification of outliers (bad points). Alignment graphs simultaneously show up to 4 lines of motion Graphs show TIR, high and low points, tolerance bands, squareness and parallelism errors in inches or millimeters. The user can zoom in on straightness, squareness and parallelism graphs, choose one line of motion as the datum, and choose between “forward” and “backward” lines of motion. Save, print and analyze recorded data The user can save and print recorded data, as well as recall previously saved machine data for comparison to existing alignment conditions. Reports print the analysis graphs as well as all backup data. User-definable tolerances The user can define the straightness tolerance for an individual line of motion and for squareness and parallelism between axes. Manual data entry The user can enter data from field notes into the software for professional report generation, analysis and data storage. 5 Ye Olde Road, Danbury, CT 06810 • Phone: (800) 826-6185 • Fax: (203) 730-4611 E-mail: sales@hamarlaser.com • Internet: http://www.hama

Program Features Machine Tool Geometry Software SPECIFY THE LINE OR LINES OF MOTION TO BE ANALYZED The MACHINE CATALOG screen displays front, side and top views of the machine tool and all the lines of motion for each view. The label of each main axis (X axis, Y axis and Z axis) of the machine tool can be customized to the individual machine type. The user may choose a configuration from five different types of machine tools and the program automatically updates the graphics to reflect the choice. User-generated Autocad files may be substituted for specialized machines. Straightness...
