Leica laser tracker cooperates with etalon to solve the calibration problem of large machine tools in one fell swoop

As the pillar of industrial production, machine tools need regular testing, verification and calibration to maintain geometric accuracy. Especially for large machine tools in many industries, they need to maintain their good machining accuracy, so as to reduce waste and improve quality and production efficiency in the production process. Geometric accuracy is a key performance index of machine tools. For machine tools, finding a fast, efficient and reliable geometric accuracy compensation scheme can effectively ensure the processing quality of parts, reduce equipment downtime and avoid production delay. Leica laser tracker cooperates with etalon calibration software to realize automatic verification. The solution adopts high-precision Leica laser tracker as calibration equipment and professional verification software from etalon. The perfect cooperation of the two solves the verification problem of machining machine tools (especially large machine tools) in one fell swoop, ensuring accuracy and improving measurement efficiency. Etalon & Leica laser tracker machine tool verification and measurement system provides an effective accuracy verification scheme for the manufacturing industry. It can realize accurate and complete geometric analysis of machine tools, continuously monitor and improve the accuracy of machine tools. It is suitable for many application fields such as machine tool manufacturing and measurement services. Leica laser tracker is a recognized long-distance and high-precision measurement system, which can automatically track the reflecting ball and identify geometric errors with high precision. As a derivative of PTB, a world-famous measurement and testing research institution, etalon focuses on providing calibration compensation solutions in the manufacturing industry, which can carry out accurate and complete geometric analysis. Leica laser tracker combined with etalon's trac-check software, according to iso230-2 / 6 and VDI 3441 standards, can realize the high-efficiency and high-precision test and verification of large machine tools. In addition to using ordinary mirror tools, hexcon can also provide SCE super cat's eye reflector and R120 wide-angle receiving target to ensure the light receiving angle to the greatest extent. The super cat's eye reflector has a wider receiving angle, which can minimize the problem of light interruption caused by excessive attitude change of the machine tool in the verification of the machine tool. When working, place the laser tracker on the machine tool and connect the computer and trac-check software at the same time. The CNC code required for measurement is generated in trac-check and the program is run, which can quickly "best fit" to realize the positioning of laser tracker in the space of machine tool. Trac-check can analyze the X, y and Z scale factors of machine tools and the perpendicularity between two axes. It supports mainstream control systems including Siemens, Heidenhain and Fanuc. The library files in the software can also be expanded according to customer requirements. According to the selected standard, the system can automatically generate CNC data for aligning measuring lines without manual alignment. By clicking the mouse, the measurement is automatically executed and a report meeting the standard requirements is generated. The combination of Leica laser tracker and etalon trac-check software provides an efficient and traceable verification method, which can be tested according to international standards, which can effectively save the required time, significantly reduce the shutdown of machine tools, and make the calibration of large machine tools simple, easy to use, fast and safe. At the same time, the operator can start the machine tool program at any time with minimal training and professional knowledge without additional preliminary planning or expert guidance.
