概要 The Keysight 10768A Diagonal Measurement Kit is designed for use with the Keysight 5530 Laser Calibration System. It allows linear measurements to be made on the four body diagonals of a machine tool's working volume. These measurements document the machine's capability and quickly perform a complete check of volumetric positioning performance. In addition, long-term drift tests can be performed over hours or days, showing possible effects of temperature on geometry.
When the Keysight 10768A is used with the Keysight 5530 to achieve an individual signature for several machine tools, the repeatability of diagonal measurements is optimized. This is because the laser beam is aligned to the machine rather than the machine to the laser by virtue of changing the machine program. By using the identical machine movement, you can determine if the machine meets spec and you can predict change in performance, even when volumetric performance is adequate.
