1.1 ND 1200 Overview
®
The ND 1200
is an advanced digital readout (DRO) system for
performing high-precision 2, 3 or 4 axis measurements using analog or
TTL encoders. The ND 1200 can be used with optical comparators,
toolmaker's microscopes or video measurement systems as part of in-
line production or in final quality inspection.
The following functions are available in the ND 1200:
Reference mark evaluations for distance-coded and single reference
encoders
Linear, segmented linear and optional nonlinear error correction
Scaling factor for parts that expand or shrink
Multilingual LCD user interface: language is selected by the user
soft key functions under LCD change to support different user
activities
Arrow cursor keys for easy navigation of lists and menus
Measurement support function keys clearly marked with:
Unit of measure: mm or inch
Datum 1 or datum 2
Cartesian or polar coordinate system
Skew compensation for part alignment prior to measurement,
eliminating the need for time-consuming fixturing
Two datums for absolute and incremental measurements
Axis zero and preset keys for establishing datums
Easy selection of feature measurement type using clearly marked
measure function keys:
Points, lines, circles, distances, angles
Skew for part alignment
®
Measure Magic
for automatic feature type identification
Feature measurement can include:
Dimensional measurements of geometric part features
Creation of features by entering dimensional data
Construction of new features from existing features
Applying tolerances
