Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document describes the OPTODYNE SD-500 Volumetric Calibration Package, an add-on to the MCV-500 Linear-Machine Calibration System. This system is designed to measure and improve the volumetric accuracy of CNC machine tools and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) using Laser Doppler Displacement Meter (LDDM™) technology and the 'Vector' measurement technique.
Specifications
The system measures volumetric errors, including three displacement errors, six straightness errors, and three squareness errors. It offers high accuracy and repeatability with N.I.S.T. traceable laser accuracy. The system is compact, portable, and includes Windows™ software for data collection and analysis.
Major Features and Benefits
  • Easy setup and operation.
  • Measures linear, straightness, and squareness errors quickly and efficiently.
  • Automatic environmental compensation.
  • High accuracy and repeatability.
  • Compact and portable design.
Major Applications
  • Calibration of CNC machine tools and CMMs.
  • Checking squareness of machine axes.
  • Quality control maintenance.
  • Quick checks of volumetric accuracy.
  • Identifying error sources.
Unique Properties
The MCV-500 Laser Calibration System features a single aperture optical arrangement, allowing for the 'Vector' measurement method. This method enables the measurement of all linear error components, overcoming the limitations of conventional interferometers.
Technical Specifications
  • Laser Stability: 0.1 PPM
  • Linear Accuracy: 1 PPM
  • Resolution: 1 microinch (0.01µm)
  • Measuring Range: 40”x40”x40” (1 cubic meter), with larger ranges available.

Volumetric Calibration-2

OPTODYNEs SD-500 Volumetric Calibration Package, (Patent Pending) is an add-on package to OPTODYNEҒs MCV-500, Linear-Machine Calibration System. The combined system provides a rapid and efficient way of measuring a machines volumetricaccuracy over the working volume. The system can be used to calibrate CNC machine tools, and CMMҒs (Coordinate Measuring Machines). Based on the Laser Doppler Displacement Meter (LDDM ) technology, and the VectorӔ measurement technique, the volumetric errors including three displacement errors, six straightness errors, and three squareness errors can be measured...

Volumetric Calibration-3

The unique property of the MCV-500 Laser Calibration System is the single aperture optical arrangement. With the VectorӔ measurement method the laser beam direction is not parallel to the direction of movement, hence all linear error components can be measured. The lateral displacement tolerance of a conventional interferometer is too small to perform the VectorӔ measurement. But with Optodynes MCV-500 and a flat-mirror as the target, large lateral displacements of the ғVector measurement are possible. >
