Laser Calibration System for PCB Drilling Machine Positioning
Optodyne’s single-aperture MCV-500 laser system is a complete laser calibration package for static calibration, compensation and dynamic measurement of CNC machine tools, CMMs, and large, five-axis machines.
For static measurement, the laser calibration system automatically collects data after each stop. For dynamic measurement, a small, lightweight retro-reflector or small, flat mirror can be used as a target to reduce the influence of additional mass on the spindle. Dynamic performance, such as settling time, resonance frequency, velocity and acceleration, can all be determined.
