The GONIOMAT M series, with its combination of manually rotatable precision rotary table and software-supported evaluation of the angle encoder signals in relation to the autocollimation image, enables easy handling with frequently changing test specimen types and, at the same time, low measurement uncertainty. The goniometers are ideally suited for in-process production monitoring as well as incoming and outgoing inspection.
Measuring Principle
The GONIOMAT M consists of a mechanically mounted rotary table (1), an angle encoder (2), an electronic autocollimator (3) with USB connection and the GONIOMATIK software (4). The calculation of the position of the autocollimation image with the corresponding rotary table position is done by the software. Precise positioning of the test specimen surfaces to the optical axis of the autocollimator is not necessary.
Measuring Procedure
• Operator places the test specimen on
• Align surface 1 to the autocollimator
• Select measurement mode
• Set the measured value of the first surface to zero
• Rotate table and align surface 2 to the autocollimator
• Software displays angle measurement value
