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.
