Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series

Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series Safety precautions · · · · · All specialists must study this User's Manual before operating the machine. Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the machine specifications. In connection/disconnection of cables, the power must be switched off. Do not use the machine in locations close to powerful light sources. To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after powering the machine to achieve the uniform warm-up of the micrometer. · During the measurement procedure, the protective doors of the machine must be closed. The machine has...

Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series A two-axis optical micrometer contains two identical micrometers (in accordance with the scheme in Fig. 1) in one housing, placed at an angle of 90 degrees to each other, which makes it possible to control the diameter of the object in two mutually perpendicular directions, Fig. 2. Micrometer specifications Optical micrometer, RF656XY-35 model Measurement range, mm ±6х35 Minimum size of the object, mm 0.25 Maximum size of the object, mm 35 Accuracy, m ±1 Repeatability, m 0.5 Maximum scanning frequency, Hz Maximum update frequency, Hz Light source...

Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series The structure of the machine (without protective doors) is illustrated in Figure 3. The machine contains a frame (1) on which a linear guide (2) of the linear translation system is installed. The linear guide has a carriage (3) driven by a stepper motor (4). An optical micrometer (5) is installed on the carriage (3). The end sensors (not shown) are used to monitor the end positions of the micrometer. A table with two Morse tapers (6 and 7) is used to install the controlled shaft. The Morse tapers are mounted on a bar (8) located along the the...

Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series Operating principle After the measurement algorithm has been programmed (position and number of controlled zones along the shaft, tolerances, etc. - see the software description), the operator installs a shaft into the machine. After a command from the operator (by the foot switch, or by the soft key on the touch screen), the linear translation system moves the micrometer along the shaft. The data from the micrometer (shaft diameters in two mutually perpendicular cross sections) synchronized with the linear position of the micrometer comes to...

Shafts Geometry Measurement Machine. RF800 Series 13 Enter the diameter value and the tolerance value into the Diameter field and the Tolerance field respectively. Enter the parameters of the controlled zone, namely, the position of the zone on the shaft (Size A) and the zone length (Size L). In addition, it is necessary to enter the number of controlled sections (Sections d): 2 or 3. When "2" is selected, the measurements are performed in two sections spaced from the edges of the zone for 3 mm. When "3" is selected, an additional measurement is made in the center of the zone. The diameter of...
