Precision hand tool with digital display for the alignment of machine tools
nivelSWISS-D is mechanically the same instrument as the nivelSWISS, but features a digital display as opposed to the analog display on a galvanometer, which characterizes the nivelSWISS. The mechanical properties, like the excellent zero-point stability, remain the same, but the digital display allows a higher resolution that is 10 times better than the nivelSWISS.
For the nivelSWISS-D the same two options with a horizontal or an angular base are available, as with the analog nivelSWISS. The measuring surfaces are scraped to ensure the high precision of the instrument.
MACHINE TOOLS / CHECKING OF ROTATION ERRORS
Subject:
Machine tools must be checked periodically for geometrical deviations, since changes of the geometry have a direct influence on the quality of the parts manufactured on that machine.
It is very important that during the displacement in one axis the tool will follow a straight path compared to the table. On machines of light-weight construction the table can show a deformation due to its own weight.
If the complete machine construction is tilting during the displacement of the table this is a sign for insufficient stability of the foundation or for a flexibility of the stand (damping elements).
Measuring task:
The geometry of a machine tool must be verified. The check must show rotational errors of the table during displacement. The measurement should be made reliably and efficiently.
