Page 4: Regulatory Compliance
CE mark. As of November 2015, testing by an independent test lab remained to be done. HDV500 systems are certified by Starrett to be free from hazardous materials per 2002/ 95/EC RoHS. -
Page 5: Hdv500 Description
The system comes with MetLogix M3 vision metrology software with the M3 DXF/FOV option pack. With this software, the HDV500 can import DXF CAD files over a network and make auto- matic 2D go-no-go comparisons to an engineering design by using video edge detection (VED), with no need for the screen overlays that would be required with an optical comparator. - Page 6 1.

Page 10: Manual Illumination And Position Controls
Manual Illumination and Position Controls The HDV500 allows fully automatic operation under program control for illumination, for right-left position of the stage (X-axis), for up-down position of the stage (Y-axis), and for in-out position of the stage (Z-axis, used for focus adjustment). The system also allows manual operation for setup, for quick individual measurements, and for short runs. -
Page 11: Keyboard Usage And Adjustment
Keyboard Usage and Adjustment The HDV500 keyboard is environmentally sealed. It is used for programming, data entry, and program operation. It includes and integral touchpad, which serves the functions of a mouse. Two keys below the touchpad serve the functions of the left and right mouse buttons. Note that the functions of the Enter key can be duplicated by the button at the top of the joystick, as defined in M3 software. -
Page 12: Changing Lenses
HDV500 systems are available with three telecentric lenses: 1) 0.24X magnification with a 35 x 29 mm (1.4” x 1.1”) field of view, 2) 0.16X with a 54 x 45 mm (2.1” x 1.8”) field of view, and 3) 76 x 64 mm (3.0”... -
Page 13: Environmental Considerations
Place unused lens assemblies in a sealed bag or enclosure for dirt protection. Store unused lenses in a safe place where they will protected from breakage. 3.5 Environmental Considerations HDV500 systems are factory calibrated under the standard laboratory environmental conditions shown below: Specification Requirement Ambient Temperature 20°C ±... -
Page 14: Safety Considerations
3.6 Safety Considerations General Starrett vision metrology systems are designed for safety and proper ergonomics Safety during normal use. Exercise caution when lifting, handling or moving the system to maintain equipment calibration and measurement performance. Consult Starrett if you have any question regarding transporting, using, or maintaining this system. -

Figure 13. Front alignment tab for side door. The main housing of the HDV500 system contains the system’s electronics, which include the system’s computer, M3 controller interface, and CNC amplifiers for the X, Y and Z axes. There are no user-serviceable components inside, and operators will normally never have to open the housing. -

The main unit can now be lifted by the rigging company using the four red bosses which extend from the base. 3. With the HDV500 main unit in place, remove three sets of metal shipping tabs. These are used to pre- vent unwanted stage motion during shipping. One set us used for the X-axis (shown), one for the Y- axis, and one for the Z-axis. -
Page 20: On-Site Functional Test, Calibration And Training
On-site basic operator training is provided following calibration. This typically takes 1 day for a CNC system like the HDV500. Many customers choose to augment basic CNC training with 1 or 2 days of specialized hands-on training, where new operators program actual parts of the type on which they will be working. -
Page 21: Measurement Strategy
5. MEASUREMENT STRATEGY Magnification Strategy HDV500 systems can be operated with any of 3 telecentric bayonet-mounted, fixed-focus, lenses with magnification of 0.24X, 0.16X or 0.11X. Since the CCD size is fixed, each magnification has a corresponding field of view (FOV), which is the CCD size divided by magnification. The higher the magnification, the higher the resolution, but the smaller the field of view. -

3. Use the calibration and shape correction algorithms available with M3 software, as described in MetLogix Tech Bulletin 080713. M3 Software Operation M3 software operation is outside of the scope this Starrett hardware-oriented user manual. Please refer to the separate MetLogix M3 software manual. - 22 -... -
Page 23: System Maintenance
6. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE HDV500 floor-standing digital video comparators are rugged machines that have been designed for years of superior service. Periodic maintenance outlined in this section should be performed to maintain your system in peak operating condition. Perform a daily inspection to ensure that the system is operating correctly and that proper safety guidelines are being followed. -
Page 24: Optics Squareness
Calibration should also be verified after the system has been serviced or moved. A chrome-on-glass calibration verification standard artifact, P/N 3649, is available from Starrett or its authorized distributors. This standard has a length of 300 mm and major calibration fiducials spaced every 25 mm. - Page 25 1. Place the calibrated verification along the X axis. Secure the standard to the stage with a holder (available from Starrett, P/N 5755). 2. Skew the center of the two end circles of the calibration standard. Refer to the M3 software manual for proper alignment procedure.

Page 26: Cleaning
To ensure a long, trouble-free service life, wipe down the system regularly to remove any dust or dirt from the system. Most critical components are covered and require no user service. Should the stage mechanics require service, please contact your Starrett representative. - 26 -... -
Page 27: Lubrication
Use a clean soft cloth or paper towel to wipe up any excess. NOTE: Use only approved lubricants, as inappropriate lubricants can damage system components. Approved lubricants may be obtained by contacting Starrett or an authorized Starrett representative. -
Page 28: Glossary
Axis A direction which allows movement and along which dimensions can be measured. In the HDV500, the X-axis is horizontal from left to right, and the Y axis is vertical from bottom to top. Blooming A condition where the parts of the video image are distorted by oversa- turated bright regions, making objects appear larger than they really are. - Page 29 Magnification, Image Image size on the video monitor divided by the corresponding object size. Same as lens magnification in a properly adjusted optical comparator. Parcentricity The condition where a feature remain at the optical center of the video image throughout the magnification range of zoom optics. Parfocality The condition where the video image remains in focus as the magnification is adjusted from highest to lowest with zoom optics.
