Machine tool and 3-dimensional measuring machine control
Metrology - calibration
The Laser-Tracer : a technology intended to improve machine tool and 3-dimensional measuring machine control
With respect to your machine tools or 3D machines, you want:
- To monitor deviations by periodic checks
- To characterise errors as per standards ISO 230 or ISO 10360
- To compensate for machine defects
- To minimise machine downtime due to inspections
The patented Laser-Tracer technology has been developed in order to better control machine tools and 3-dimensional measuring machines. This technology provides:
- A cartography of your machine, from the simplest (biased axes) to the most complex machines (21 errors + rotary axes).
- An uncertainty of measurement at micrometric scale.
- The issuance of a compensation matrix structured in accordance with the brand of the digital control.
- A measurement time significantly shorter than that of conventional measuring instruments.
- Operational flexibility, irrespective of the machine size (0.5 to 15 metres).
- The measuring strategy allows a comprehensive survey of your machine’s working volume.
- Errors on linear and rotary axes are detected with a single instrument.
- Reduced machine downtime compared to conventional measuring instruments.
- Possibility to correct the errors detected through the automatic issuance of a compensation matrix.
