Leica-Geosystems’ LTD500 is a portable co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM)
for situations where the item to be measured can be touched or a
reflector attached to it. The "Tracker" is leading edge technology for
applications where the item to be measured is too large
for a conventional co-ordinate measuring machine or is not able
to be taken to a CMM. Axyz software provides many of the functions
common to CMM software including: GD&T (geometric dimensioning and
tolerancing), inspection and CAD to part comparison.
LTD500 is a very high accuracy tracking 3D laser interferometer
and high precision absolute distance meter. Hand held spherical
reflectors are used to measure to individual points or to scan
whole surfaces. The LTD500 is ideal for the rapid calibration
of robots, machine tools, assembly jigs and fabricated components.
Reproducibility of a co-ordinate is ±0.005mm/m (2
s ) within a 35 metre sphere from a single instrument
position. By measuring to reference targets multiple instrument locations
can be accurately related to enable large or complex items to be completely
measured.
The high speed capabilities of the system mean that 1000 points
per second can be recorded at a tracking speed of up to 4 metres
per second.
This system has been developed and well proven in the aircraft industry
over many years.
|
· Accuracy - When fully calibrated this instrument will measure three dimensional
coordinates to 0.005mm/m. While tracking the three dimensional co-ordinate
accuracy is 0.01mm/m.
· Speed - Up to 1000 points per second can be recorded to the target moving
at no more than 6m/sec.
· Target - Reflectors all in spherical housings
- Corner cube reflector in 1.5inch.
- Cat eye
- 1/2inch tooling balls
· Determination of level - the tracker co-ordinate system can be leveled
to gravity using our precision tilt sensor.
