Laser calibration system LICS-100AP

The LICS-100AP is compact and fits into a small brief case. With only 2 elements to be aligned, it is easy to setup and operation and a machine operator can learn to operate the laser system in a few hours. It is ideal for calibrate and compensate the machine tool pitch errors. A typical setup to calibrate the Z-axis is shown in Fig. 1 below. Fig. 1, Photo shows the LICS-100AP measuring the Z-axis of a CNC machining center. The major features are: • Complete turn-key package fits into a small brief case. • Single-aperture laser head for easy alignment and setup. • A machinist can be trained to operate and generate compensation files. • Using a 90 degrees beam bender to point laser beam in up/down and left/right 4 directions. • Notebook PC using Windows 8 and preloaded LDDM software. • Automatic barometric pressure, air and material temperature compensation. • Automatic data collection and generate pitch error compensation files for most controllers. • Data analysis based on ISO 230 and ASME B5 standards. • Laser stability is 0.1 ppm
