1 General Notes 1.1 Purpose The Smart-Pro IV with colour screen is an imaging system with touchscreen, integral camera and counter analysis for two axes. Because of its small dimensions it can be fitted directly to the measuring machine’s optical equipment carrier.
1. Do not expose the Smart-Pro IV to direct sunlight. 2. Do not expose the Smart-Pro IV to excessive damp and do not pour fluids over the equipment. 3. All maintenance work must only be carried out by authorised customer service personnel.
Unit type: Imaging 3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The Smart-Pro IV meets the conditions of standards EN 61000-6-4 (emission) und EN 61000-6-2 (immunity). These threshold values give sufficient protection against dangerous electromagnetic radiation for the environment. This applies as long as the product has been fitted and used in accordance with the instructions.
Aligning the Smart-Pro IV and the light on an optical axis Procedure: 1. Fix the Smart-Pro IV and the light in the measuring unit optical equipment carrier in such a way that, ideally, they face each other on an optical axis.
Smart-Pro IV 5 Operation and Display 5.1 Operating elements 5.1.1 Gestures The Smart-Pro IV is operated by gesture control via the integrated touch screen. Designation Presentation Description Example Start function Briefly touch surface Choose option with fingertip. Call up screen keyboard ...
Smart-Pro IV 5.1.2 Input window Typing or swiping gestures also opens input windows and list windows. The changes made to the Smart Pro IV settings in the input windows are saved when the window is closed. In windows, for example "Options", which because of the limited window size display only a subset of all entries, the window content can be scrolled up and down using vertical drag gestures.
Smart-Pro IV 5.2 Screen representation Resolution: 800 x 480 pixels The actual Smart-Pro IV screen layout may differ in colour and design from the illustrations given in this handbook as examples because any colour scheme is possible. However, the main layout of the screen interface remains unaffected by this.

Optical axis Working distance Aligning the Smart-Pro IV and the light on an optical axis 7.2 Setting the working distance The working distance is defined as the distance between the front edge of the camera lens and the object to be measured, for example a tool cutting edge. This measurement is preset by the design and the production tolerances of the camera lens and must be set when installing the optical components.
3. Loosen the camera lens clamping device on the optical equipment carrier and position the Smart-Pro IV in such a way that this position (indicated in colour) deviates as little as possible from the ideal setting. 4. Fasten the camera lens clamping device on the optical equipment carrier and make sure not to modify the working distance when aligning the camera.
Smart-Pro IV 7.4 Setting illumination After the camera is aligned, the homogeneity and brightness of the illumination must be checked and set (if necessary). To do this, check the brightness distribution across the camera sensor (top, centre, bottom). Three differently coloured lines must be visible.
Smart-Pro IV 8 Measuring with imaging In order to achieve exact measurement, the optical components must be aligned precisely. You'll find details on this in the "Basic settings (hardware setup)" chapter. For each measurement procedure ensure that the edges of the object to be measured are not dirty, because this could lead to incorrect measurement results.
Smart-Pro IV 8.1 Selecting a tool reference The system offers you the opportunity to create, save and manage tool references. The 0 (zero) tool reference is fixed and cannot be deleted. It cannot be edited and will therefore not be displayed in the tool...
Smart-Pro IV 8.2 Starting a measurement procedure When switched on, the system runs in accordance with the settings made during Setup. If a counter module is connected, the system waits for the reference marks of the connected measuring systems to be transferred.
Smart-Pro IV 8.3 Ending the measurement procedure When the measurement has been completed, the data can be sent to a printer or a 8.3.1 Printing the measurement results The formats (layout) for labels and lists are defined in the output format of the Smart- Pro IV.
Smart-Pro IV 9 Imaging To describe the image analysis, we distinguish between: Measuring methods Measurement procedures Measurement programs 9.1 Measuring methods Here there are two main measuring methods: fixed cross hairs flying cross hairs In the case of measurements with fixed cross hairs, all measurements relate to the original cross hair co-ordinates shown.
Smart-Pro IV 9.1.1 Measuring with fixed cross hairs Meas. programs Measuring After selection the system analyses the object contour and automatically suggests a measurement procedure for carrying out the measurements immediately. The measurement procedure used is simultaneously displayed in the status window.
Smart-Pro IV 9.1.2 Measuring at the centre of the fixed cross hairs Meas. programs Measure centre With this mode it is possible to position an edge point exactly in the cross hairs’ origin point. This is indicated by the adjustment bar. The edge point is exactly in the cross hairs’...
Smart-Pro IV 9.1.3 Maximum Meas. programs Maximum In this case, measurement is carried out using flying cross hairs. After selection the system analyses the object contour and automatically suggests a measurement procedure for carrying out the measurements immediately. The measurement procedure used is simultaneously displayed in the status window.
Smart-Pro IV 9.1.4 Preset Meas. programs Preset In this case, measurement is carried out using flying cross hairs. After selection the system analyses the object contour and automatically suggests a measurement procedure for carrying out the measurements immediately. The measurement procedure used is simultaneously displayed in the status window.
Smart-Pro IV 9.2 Measurement procedures Two main measurement procedures are used to analyse the contour of an object. Point measurement Line measurement Combining these two procedures further detailed measurement procedures are resulting. When one of the following measurement programs is started, the image processing automatically selects a measurement procedure and displays the corresponding symbol in the measurement procedure display in the status window.
Smart-Pro IV 9.2.2 Line measurement Line measurement analyses one or more of the object’s straight contour sections and determines the relevant angles. 9.2.2.1 Line measurement using fixed cross hairs Measuring lines which pass through the displayed fixed cross hairs' origin point and run parallel to the determined straight contour sections are drawn and their angles to the crosshairs displayed.
Smart-Pro IV 9.3 Measurement programs Meas. programs Total image Line Angle Radius Measurement programs perform specific measurement tasks of image processing. The measurement programs offered can be used, regardless of the measurement procedure selected. When setting a user-defined measuring point, the imaging program looks for an edge pixel in the proximity (see „Options>Capture edge“).
Smart-Pro IV 9.3.1 Total image The "Total image" function determines the outer contour of a measurement object and thus the effective contour of a rotary tool in the work piece. Symbol picture „Total image“ During the rotation of an object imaged in transmitted light, the outer edge profile is determined and displayed continuously.
Smart-Pro IV 9.3.3 Angle The "Angle" measurement function is used to visually measure the enclosed angle between two lines. When the user has defined two lines (by defining two or more points per line), the angle is calculated and displayed in the status window together with the x0 and z0 intersection point co-ordinates, for both lines.
Smart-Pro IV 9.4 Auxiliary functions 9.4.1 Analysis window (Range) The analysis window can be used to limit the contour progression relevant for a measurement. Contour sections outside the analysis window are then not included in the measurement. Procedure: 1. Move the object into the camera’s visual range.
