Straightness measurement optics kit
The straightness measurement optics are used to measure straightness
errors in a linear axis� Straightness errors are displacements perpendicular
to the axis of travel, either vertical or horizontal depending on the mounting
orientation of the optics�
The straightness measurement kit is available in two versions: short range
(for measurements from 0�1 m to 4 m) and long range (for measurements
from 1 m to 30 m)�

Flatness measurement kit
The atness measurement kit is used to measure the atness of surface
plates and granite tables�
The atness turning mirrors allow the laser beam to be directed along any line
of the surface plate without having to move the laser� A straight edge as long
as the longest measurement line is required (not supplied in the kit)�
1 Straightness reector
2 Straightness interferometer
NOTE: The following accessories are required when measuring vertical
straightness in a horizontal axis, or straightness in a vertical axis
of a machine:
• Straightness shutter
• Large retroreector
• Straightness base
• LS350 laser beam steering optic
• Fixed turning mirror
• Adjustable turning mirror
1 Turning mirrors × 2
2 Flatness base (50 mm)
3 Flatness base (100 mm)
4 Flatness base (150 mm)
NOTE: The angular measurement optics are also required where the angular
interferometer is attached to a turning mirror and the angular reector is
attached on top of the selected atness base.
