Cómo puedo sacar mis coordenadas de 5 barrenos el diámetro de centro de barrenos es de 5"

To obtain the coordinates for 5 holes with a center diameter of 5" using the Newall NMS 300:

1. Enter the center coordinate (refer to using set mode, page 22).
2. Enter the PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) value, which is 5 inches (convert to millimeters if needed).
3. Enter the number of holes, which is 5.
4. Enter the start angle (refer to using set mode, page 22).
- Important: The PCD is calculated from the 3 o’clock position, moving anti-clockwise.
- If the start angle is given clockwise from 3 o’clock, enter it as a negative value.
5. Navigate through the sequence of holes using the controls or numeric keypad.

The NMS300 will calculate and display the distance to each hole.

  • Page 10: Direction Of Travel Setup

    The first step in determining the source of error is to check the DRO system. To do this compare the movement of the Newall reader head to the position reading shown on the display. A high accuracy standard, such as a laser interferometer is required. A dial indicator can be used to check short distances, but a laser provides the best results.
  • Page 11 To check the accuracy of the DRO system: 1. Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head. It is absolutely critical that the readings are taken directly from the Newall reader head. If a dial indicator must be used, be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled.

  • Page 14 Setting up the unit Program Mode Program mode allows the linear compensation to be calculated manually and then entered as a PPM val- ue into the NMS300 display. The procedure to do this is shown below: To illustrate the calculation an example is being used where the standard distance is 500.000mm and the measured distance is 500.200mm.

    Setting up the unit Segmented Error Compensation The scale travel is broken down into as many as 200 user-defined segments, each with their own correc- tion factor, measured against a high-accuracy standard. The following parameters need to be identified: Each Correction Point is measured with respect to the Starting Point - zero - which is usually set close to one end of the scale.
