Möller-Wedel Optical GmbH ® Our ELCOMAT Product Line Autocollimators are optical measuring instruments that measure the smallest changes in the angular position of optical reflectors. They are mainly used for the following measuring tasks: measurement of smallest angles, ultra-precise angle adjustment and angle calibration, quality assurance of machine tools and their components, assembly automation, angular position monitoring. Compared to its predecessor, the ELCOMAT ® 3000, the ELCOMAT® 5000 not only has a larger measuring range and a better signal-to-noise ratio due to the direct signal processing...

ELCOMAT 5000 Electronic Autocollimator ® Autocollimators are optical measuring instruments that can measure the smallest deviations in the angular position change of optical reflectors. With electronic autocollimators, the autocollimation image is detected using CCD lines or a camera. Electronic autocollimators are primarily used for the following measuring tasks: n Measurement of smallest angular deviations Signal position of Signal position of n Ultra-precise angle adjustment and calibration the slit image on the the slit image on CCD sensor after the CCD sensor n Quality control of machine...

Autocollimation Sensor In the autocollimation sensor, the reticle pattern reflected by an optical mirror is imaged on corresponding CCD sensors, digitized and their position change is evaluated. The direct digital signal processing in the sensor head guarantees an excellent signalto-noise ratio. Compared to the ELCOMAT® 3000, the opticalelectronic design allows for a 10-fold higher measurement frequency and significantly increases the dynamic range (measurement range/measurement uncertainty). Additional internal alignment sensors in the autocollimation sensor provide easy, fast and precise adjustment...

ELCOMAT 5000 Principle of Straightness/Flatness Measurement ® Principle: To measure straightness, the autocollimator is placed on a reference position to the guideway and the corresponding mirror with base and stop bar are placed on the guideway. When the mirror is shifted, any deviation of the straightness (horizontal/vertical) of the guideway surface leads to a shift of the autocollimation image. To measure the lateral and height deviation of the guide, the mirror with base and stop bar is moved step by step by a corresponding base length (standard 50 or 100 mm) in the direction of measurement...
