Making Spindle Parallelism Measurements
Making Spindle Parallelism Measurements
In spindle parallelism measurements, you make four sets of
measurements with the reflector oriented as follows:
1
In the first set, the reflector is oriented either horizontally or vertically.
2
In the second set, the reflector is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first
set.
3
In the third set, the reflector is rotated 90 degrees relative to the second
set.
4
In the fourth set, the reflector is rotated 180 degrees relative to the third
set.
It does not matter whether you begin with the horizontal or vertical
measurements.
You make manual measurements as you advance the machine's moveable
part. The instructions explain how to make measurements using either
the Record button displayed on the screen or the optional remote control
unit. See Chapter 1, "Planning Your Measurements," for a description of
other triggering methods.
