Laser Doppler displacement Meter LB-500 LASER/BALLBAR OPTODYNE's LB-500 Laser/Ballbar (Patent Pending) is an add-on package to OPTODYNE's MCV-500, Linear-Machine Calibration System. The combined system can be used to calibrate CNC machine tools, CMM's (Coordinate Measuring Machines), and other precision measuring machines and stages and perform circular test for servo-tuning and dynamic testing. OPTODYNE's Laser/Ballbar provides a rapid and efficient way of measuring a machine's contouring accuracy along a circular path. The

circular test shows how the axes work together to move the machine in a circular path. The deviations from a perfect circle are caused by errors such as backlash, servomismatch, scale mismatch, machine geometry, periodic errors, stick-slip, etc. A polar plot is then generated to show the machines true contouring capabilities. Because of the unique capabilities, High Data Rates, (up to 1000 data/sec), High Resolution (0.005 pm - 0.0000005 ") and Small Radius, (as small as 0.1"), dynamic errors at high machine feed rates can also be determined.
