The challenge in measurement technology: simultaneous length and angle measurement
In precision measurement technology, there is a central challenge for measurement technicians, engineers, and production managers: the measurement of lengths and angles must not only be precise, but must also function efficiently and reliably under real conditions. Thermal influences in particular, which often occur in production environments, present a challenge. Temperature changes can distort measurements and lead to incorrect results. It is crucial that changes in length as well as pitch and yaw angles are recorded simultaneously in order to obtain reliable data - a standard that is essential for high-precision applications today.
The solution: Simultaneous measurement of lengths AND angles
The SP 5000 TR laser interferometer from SIOS solves this challenge. With the triple beam technology, changes in length as well as pitch and yaw angles can be measured simultaneously with maximum precision and low measurement uncertainty. The simultaneous acquisition of all relevant measured values in a single measurement setup not only minimizes time and effort, but also effectively compensates for thermal influences in the measurement environment.
One advantage: The SP 5000 TR delivers measured values in real time, enabling immediate corrections to be made during the measuring process. This is particularly advantageous for applications with the highest demands on precision, efficiency and traceability, such as the calibration of measuring machines and machine tools or laser interferometric measurements on guides, measuring, microscope and positioning stages.
Case studies: Application examples from practice
In our white paper, we take a detailed look at eight case studies that show how the SP 5000 TR is used in real applications. Each of these case studies presents the challenges of simultaneous length and angle measurement under a wide range of conditions and offers insightful insights into the practical benefits of this technology.
The case studies show how the SP 5000 TR triple beam laser interferometer works reliably and precisely even under the most demanding conditions and offer valuable insights for metrologists and engineers looking for innovative solutions to their daily challenges.
