Introduction

U/V Rotary TableGeomet Versions - 6.66.006.001

The U/V Rotary Table is designed to integrate with DCC style CMMs adding the capability to measure an artifact on all sides, and all access directions while maintaining single part coordinate system integrity.

By maintaining coordinate system integrity, all measured features, scanned data clouds and constructed geometry retain their position integrity eliminating the need to establish multiple coordinate systems and casting features between coordinate systems.

The U/V Rotary Table is manual in its operation and requires the operator to position the table to various positions. The supplied locks keep the table in position.

The rotary table requires a one-time setup procedure that identifies the individual axis of rotation. The Geomet CMM software contains the necessary tools to guide the operator through the setup process.

Once the setup has been completed, Geomet retains the axis parametric data in it's System Options for retrieval after system restarts. The setup data is valid as long as the U/V table has not been moved. If the table has been moved, repeat the setup procedure.

Integrating the U/V Rotary Axis Table

The U/V Rotary Axis Table can be added to Helmel CMMs running the UCC2 style motion controller. The rotary table utilizes the Helmel ProCounter II CMM Interface to obtain the position readings of the rotary axis.

The basic requirements to add the rotary table support are:

Installing the CMM Interface

Activating the table in System Options

Adding the encoder scale factors

Calibrating the rotation axis parameters

Adding the position updates to the Digital Readout

Performing an inspection with the U/V Rotary Axis Table
