MCV-5000
Aerospace Laser Calibration System for Volumetric Calibration,
Compensation, and Dynamic Performance of Large 5-axis Machines
OPTODYNE's MCV-5000 Aerospace Laser Calibration System is designed for a complete volumetric calibration and
compensation of large 5-axis machines. Both the static positioning errors, the angular errors, the rotary axis errors and the dynamic
performance can be measured. The volumetric positioning errors include 3 linear displacement errors, 6 straightness errors, and 3 squareness errors.
The angular errors include pitch, yaw and roll angular errors of each axis. The rotary axis errors include the rotary A, B, and C axes of a 5-axis
machine. The dynamic performance, including the circular and non- circular contour measurement is designed for the tuning of servo parameters, feed
forward, look ahead, velocity, acceleration and mechanical vibrations.
The Aerospace Laser Calibration System uses the latest laser vector technique for the measurement of volumetric positioning errors. It is very easy to setup and operate. It is also compact, efficient and time saving. For a 5-axis machine, a motorized turntable can be used to calibrate the rotary, A, B, and C, axes. With two single- aperture laser heads, two flat-mirror targets, and fast interface cards, the circular and non-circular contours can be measured in one setup. The actual feed rate and acceleration can also be determined.

MAJOR FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Two long range laser heads with automatic, fast and synchronized data collection for the master and slave axis, pitch and yaw angular errors
Single-aperture laser head and a flat- mirror target for the measurement and compensation of volumetric positioning error
Calibrating rotary A, B, or C axes by using a motorized turntable and dual laser-head mounting accessories
Measuring circular and non-circular contours, feed rate, acceleration, and vibrations for servo tuning or dynamic performance
Windows software, to collect data automatically or on-the-fly, and to correct the speed of light and material thermal expansion
Measurement is non-contact, the diameters of the circular contour may be varied continuously

Specifications:
The laser vector technique is a major break through in laser measurement. It is easy to setup and to operate. It is very efficient and time saving. Usually, the volumetric positioning errors, 3 displacement errors, 6 straightness errors and 3 squareness errors, in a working volume of 1 to 3 cubic meters can be measured in 2-4 hours. The volumetric positioning error compensation files can be generated automatically for most of the major controllers. Even for a large gantry machine, most of the measurements can be done in one day instead of one week by conventional interferometers. The equipment is compact and can be fitted into 2 small carrying cases. For various applications and requirements, there are 4 models MCV-5002 to MCV-5005 to choose from.
