The patented ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK software significantly reduces the time required to ensure that machine tools comply with important international precision standards.
To enhance measurement speeds and ensure the highest levels of accuracy during the calibration, compensation, and verification of machine tools, the ETALON system utilizes multilateration—a spatial measurement technique employed by satellite navigation systems. This approach allows manufacturers to decrease measurement times by up to 80% compared to traditional laser interferometers, providing results in just one to two hours instead of one to two days.
The ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK system relies on a single self-tracking laser interferometer, either from ETALON or the Leica Absolute Tracker AT930/960. This setup not only reduces maintenance and recalibration costs but also enhances measurement accuracy and traceability.
Features & Benefits
Unmatched Precision
Unlike traditional measuring devices, the ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK employs multilateration techniques to perform repeated length difference measurements with sub-micrometer precision.
Quick and Efficient
The ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK calculates and analyzes machine variances to within fractions of a micrometer, ensuring extremely precise measurements.
Cost-Effective
The speed and accuracy of the measurement software significantly reduce machine tool downtime.
ETALON TRAC-CAL: Machine Tool Calibration
The ETALON TRAC-CAL software identifies all systematic geometric deviations in measuring devices and machine tools when used in conjunction with tools like the ETALON LASERTRACER, the ETALON X-AX LASERBAR, or the Leica Absolute Tracker AT930/960.
ETALON TRAC-CHECK: CMM and Production Machine Testing Compliant with Standards
The unique process for automatic alignment of the measuring beam significantly reduces measuring time. According to ISO standards, this allows for determining whether a manufacturing or measuring machine meets specifications, or if maintenance is needed, in less than 30 minutes.
The ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK program supports various hardware options.
It is compatible with the Leica Absolute Tracker for large machine tools, the ETALON X-AX LASERBAR for small to medium-sized machines, and the ETALON LASERTRACER for all machines.
