Talyvel 5 Electronic Levels-1

Talyvel 5 Electronic Level Fast, Accurate and Versatile Universally accepted as the best in their field,Taylor Hobson’s Talyvel Electronic Level systems provide versatile and precise measurement for a wide variety of industrial, optical alignment (when used with Taylor Hobson Micro Alignment Telescope), civil, marine and construction engineering applications.They combine exceptionally high accuracy, stability and repeatability with fast response and operational convenience. Used for measuring straightness, flatness or absolute level,Talyvel 5 can also function as a comparator to detect departures from a preset attitude, which may not necessarily be level. Incorporating its world renowned, compact, highly stable, pendulum transducer in the Level Unit and a rechargeable battery or mains powered Display Unit, Talyvel 5 provides rapid and simple reading of angle of tilt and measurement relative to gravity. It is simple to calibrate and operate, with a fast measurement response time. The Talyvel’s Level Unit can be positioned remotely from the Display Unit - for instance in hard to see or confined places with the Display Unit located where it can be easily read. Measurement results from the basic Talyvel 5 system are displayed on a digital LCD screen. In addition, results can be recorded and analysed further by interfacing to a computer. Quick, accurate and simple setting to gravity, or measurement of level Fine ±10 second range available on the built in analogue meter Unmatched stability of measurements Unrivalled accuracy of 0.2 arc second over the centre measuring region Readout in gradient (mm/m or 0.001in/in) or seconds of arc Small Level Unit, enabling the system to be used in difficult to reach locations RS232 and analogue as standard output from the Display Unit Damping button Some applications for which Talyvel systems have become universally accepted: CIVIL ENGINEERING MACHINE TOOLS MARINE ENGINEERING Checking slideways for straightness and twist Checking columns for squareness to slideways Checking surface plates for flatness Monitoring the settlement of large machinery OPTICAL ALIGNMENT Remotely monitoring the tilt movement of structures Checking bridge arches for movement before and after construction Checking foundation settlement and levelling foundation pads Levelling radar, gyro and weapon platforms Checking level and straightness of rails Measuring the camber on rolls Checking the twist of marine engine bed plates Alignment of weapon mountings to reference platforms Checking the parallelism of crankpins to main bearings on marine crankshafts Mounted on a Micro Alignment Telescope to establish a truly horizontal line of sight
