You access this operating mode using the following menu steps: Main menu Imaging Ö Sub-menu 1 Fixed axis After selection the system analyses the object contour and automatically suggests a measuring procedure for carrying out measurements immediately. The measuring procedure used is displayed in the status window at the same time.
digiset 5 8.2.2 Maximum The measuring lines are created on the contour of the object to be measured. Both adjustment bars are hidden. The offset of the measuring lines and the fixed cross hairs in the X and Z direction is taken into account with the current position.
digiset 5 8.2.3 Preset The measuring lines are created on the contour of the object to be measured. Both adjustment bars are hidden. The offset of the measuring lines and the fixed cross hairs in the X and Z direction is taken into account with the current position.
digiset 5 8.2.4 Measure centre Here the TCAM2 determines the edge pixel next to the cross hair origin point. This is done using the pointers in the adjustment bars that should, ideally, both be in the middle. The edge point is next to the cross hair origin point when both pointers are in the middle of the green area.
digiset 5 8.3 Measuring procedures 8.3.1 Principal procedures in contour analysis Digiset 5 has two main measuring procedures that are used for analysing an object contour. • Point measurement • Line or angle measurement 8.3.1.1 Point measurement Point measurement determines the highest deviation value in the corresponding axis. This is done in the "Fixed axis" measuring method by moving the object to be measured to the corresponding cross hairs axis so that the adjustment bar pointer is in the green area.
digiset 5 8.3.2 Detailed description of measuring procedures 12 detailed measuring procedures have been developed from the main measuring procedures. Digiset 5 uses these to analyse contours. The number of different measuring possibilities is, of course, significantly higher because the measuring procedure can be carried out in each individual quadrant.
digiset 5 8.3.2.1 "Line 1" measurement (L1) Linie 1 Line 1 is determined. (Light to dark border counter clockwise within the analysis window) 8.3.2.2 "Line 2" measurement (L2) Linie 2 Line 2 is determined. (Dark to light border counter clockwise within the analysis window) 8.3.2.3 "Point X" measurement (PX) Punkt X The maximum X deviation is determined. 8.3.2.4 "Point Z" measurement (PZ) Punkt Z The maximum Z deviation is determined. Urma AG, Switzerland www.urma.
digiset 5 8.3.2.5 "Line 1 - Point X" measurement (L1 - PX) The vertical axis is touched at one point and shown as a red measuring line. Line 1 runs through the cross hairs origin point. The contour is aligned to its optimum level when the pointers on both adjustment bars are exactly in the middle. Linie 1 Punkt X 8.3.2.6 "Line 2 - Point X" measurement (L2 - PX) Linie 2 Punkt X The maximum X deviation and line 2 are determined. The results then show the intersection point. 8.3.2.
digiset 5 8.3.2.9 "Line 1 -Line 2" measurement (L1 - L2) The intersection point of both measuring lines (line 1 and line 2) is determined. Linie 1 Linie 2 8.3.2.10 "Line 1 - Line 2 - Point X" measurement (L1 - L2 - PX) Linie 1 Linie 2 The vertical axis is touched at one point and shown as a red measuring line. The intersection point of the two other measuring lines is on the horizontal axis. The contour is aligned to its optimum level when the pointers on both adjustment bars are exactly in the middle.
digiset 5 8.4 Measuring programs / Measuring functions You access this operating mode with the "Measuring programs" menu item in the main menu: Main menu Meas. Programs Ö Sub-menu 1 Line Angle Radius With measure centre These measuring functions must be used regardless of the possible settings in "Measure method". 8.4.1 Line The "Line" measurement function is used to measure a line visually from point to point.
