Product catalog summary
Overview: The Spindle8 software is designed for spindle alignment, offering a user-friendly interface with a 5-step checklist to guide users through the alignment process. It supports both single and dual-spindle alignments and provides dynamic feedback during adjustments.
Key Features:
  • Step-through Checklist: A 5-step process with illustrations and instructions for spindle alignment.
  • Single or Dual-Spindle Capability: Aligns single spindles or dual-spindle heads, with separate or simultaneous data recording.
  • Dynamic Misalignment Display: Real-time graphical feedback on alignment changes, with automatic calculations for shim and move values.
  • Random Data Mode: Allows training and familiarization without hardware.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: Generates modifiable and printable reports with data and graphical views.
  • User-Definable Tolerances: Customizable alignment tolerances with automatic indication when tolerances are met.
Program Features:
  • Machine Setup: Input machine dimensions, alignment tolerances, and other settings, which can be saved for future use.
  • Laser Qualification: Uses Hamar Laser’s NORMIN method to determine laser mounting errors.
  • Ways Verification: Checks straightness and flatness of spindle-box ways, advising adjustments to meet tolerances.
  • Record Data/Adjust First Angle: Ensures spindle axis alignment with live data display for angular adjustments.
  • Adjust Second Angle and Center: Provides a live 4-axis display for final adjustments, indicating when tolerances are satisfied.
Conclusion: Spindle8 is a comprehensive tool for spindle alignment, leveraging nearly a decade of experience in the field. It simplifies the alignment process with its checklist-based approach and provides detailed reporting capabilities.

Spindle8 Software-1

Analyzes and aligns single and dual spindles Analyzes and aligns single and dual spindles Spindle8 is the culmination of nearly 10 years of experience with transfer-line spindle alignments. It analyzes and aligns single or dual spindles, providing 4-axis, live data that shows changes in alignment as they are made. See the reverse side for a quick tourӔ of the program. Features of the Spindle8 program include:Step-through checklist > Spindle8 is based on an easy-to-follow, 5-step checklist, with illustrations and step-by-step instructions that prompt the user for information to complete each stage of spindle alignment. Single or dual-spindle capability > The spindle alignment system aligns single spindles or dual-spindle heads. When aligning dual spindles, data for each target can be recorded separately or simultaneously. Dynamic misalignment display > Spindle8 shows alignment changes as they are made, using large, color graphics. The software speeds up alignment by automatically calculating shim and move values. Random data mode > Random data mode allows the program to run without hardware for training or user familiarization prior to performing an actual alignment. Comprehensive reporting function > Generates and saves reports that include collected data and graphical views of the alignment. Reports can be modified and printed. User-definable tolerances > Alignment tolerances can be set by the user. Shim-value displays automatically change to In ToleranceӔ when specified tolerances are achieved. 5 Ye Olde Road, Danbury, CT 06810 E-mail: [email protected] Օ > Phone: (800) 826-6185 FInternet: http://www.hamarlaser.com ax: (203) 730-4611 Ε >

CHECKLIST-BASED SOFTWARE FOR EASE OF USE Spindle8 is based on a 5-step checklist, with illustrations and step-by-step instructions prompting the user for information to complete each stage of spindle alignment. STEP 1: MACHINE SETUP The user is queried for machine dimensions at specified points, all of which are clearly labeled. If the alignment involves dual spindles, that is specified in this step. Other information, such as alignment tolerances, target setup, units of measure, and company information, is also entered by clicking on the various tabs of the setup screen. All settings can be...
