Optodyne Inc., the leader in laser measurement, calibration and compensation systems, today has announced a new turn-key and compact LICS-100AP for lead screw pitch error measurement and compensation. The LICS-100AP will be displayed in the IMTS 2014 in Chicago at Booth E-5414.
It is a complete turn-key package, including a notebook PC using Windows 8 os and preloaded LDDM software. The software capable of automatic data collection, data analysis based on ISO 230 and ASME B5 standards and generates pitch error compensation files for most controllers such as Fanuc, Siemens, Forgo, Heidenhain, Mitsubishi, etc. The measurement range is 400” or 10 meters. The laser stability is 0.1 ppm. The measurement accuracy is 1 ppm and traceable to NIST.
The LICS-100AP is compact and fits into a small brief case. With only 2 elements to be aligned, it is easy to setup and operation and a machine operator can learn to operate the laser system in a few hours. It is ideal for calibrate and compensate the machine tool pitch errors.
