Chapter 7 Squareness Measurements in a Vertical Plane
Mounting and Aligning the Optics for the First Axis Measurement
Measurements Reference Guide 7-7
Before you begin to assemble and mount the optics, you must position the
laser head and move the moveable part of the target machine to its start
position. Follow these steps:
NOTE
This chapter uses a machine with a spindle as an example for making
squareness measurements. Although your machine may be different, the
general procedures described here still apply.
1 Position the laser head for the first axis measurement (Figure 5-3).
2 Adjust the laser head to the approximate height at which you will mount
the optics.
3 Determine how to position the optics. See Figure 5-3 for an illustration of
the optics setup, and use the following guidelines:
• Mount the combined retroreflector/interferometer where the tool
mounts.
• Mount the reflector where the work piece mounts.
You are now ready to mount and align the optics for the first axis
measurement.
Mounting and Aligning the Optics for the
First Axis Measurement
This section explains how to assemble, mount, and align the optics for the
first axis measurement. Follow these steps:
1 Complete steps 1 through 5 in “Mounting and Aligning Optics for X-Axis
or Y-Axis Measurements” in Chapter 5.
Keep in mind that the first axis measurement is a measurement in a
vertical plane along the X-axis.
