ADVANCED STRAIGHTNESS

MEASUREMENT

INTRODUCTION

In the Advanced Straightness Measurement program straightness can be

measured in two axes. The laser beam is used as reference and the deviation

in distance between the laser beam and the measurement object is measured

in two or more positions, with the use of the receiver.

Measurement methods

In the Advanced Straightness Measurement program there are different

measurement methods. Measurement method is selected in the application

set-up.

Standard Straightness. The laser beam is set roughly

parallel to a surface or an object. Two points are used

as references.

The laser beam is set to level. One point is used as

reference.

Straightness with rotational center as reference (rotate

laser transmitter). The laser beam is representing an

axis of rotation. One point is used as reference. The

laser transmitter is rotated 180 degrees in each

measurement point to find the axis of rotation.

Straightness with center of bore as reference (rotate

receiver). The laser beam is set roughly parallel to a

center line. Two points are used as references. The

receiver is rotated 180 degrees in each measurement

point to find the center of the measurement object.
