Heidenhain: Evaluation Electronics (ND 1300 QUADRA-CHEK)

Evaluation Electronics for Metrological Applications

Evaluation Electronics for metrological applications offer numerous functions for measured data acquisition and statistical evaluation of measured values.

QUADRA-CHEK evaluation electronics for profile projectors, measuring microscopes, 2-D and video measuring machines as well as CMMs measure points on 2-D contours, depending on the version either automatically or manually by crosshairs, by optical edge detection or by video camera with real-time display of the live image and integrated image processing. For 3-D contours, such as planes, cylinders, cones and spheres, the measurement points are saved by probing with a touch probe.

In the optional CNC version, they also operate as full-fledged controls for axis positioning and can automatically execute measuring programs.

ND 1300 QUADRA-CHEK | The evaluation electronics for convenient 2-D measurement

The ND 1300 QUADRA-CHEKs are available in versions for up to four axes. They function as measuring computers with 2-D measurement of points, suiting them for measuring microscopes, measuring projectors and profile projectors, as well as for video measuring machines if the video edge detection option is installed.

Execution

The evaluation electronics of the ND 1300 series are characterized by the large color touchscreen. Their enclosures consist of robust, die-cast aluminum.

Functions

The innovative operator guidance provides self-explanatory information about the various functions. It already supports you while setting up the coordinate system (aligning the part and specifying the datum).

Predefined features (point, line, circle, slot and rectangle) are available for measurement. The “Measure Magic” function makes measurement especially easy. In addition, you can establish relationships (distances, angles) between features.

You can create or automatically record measuring programs for repeated parts. The evaluation electronics graphically take you to the next measuring position during program run.

Depending on the option installed, the ND 1300 probes the points of plane (2-D) contours either automatically or manually via crosshairs, optical edge detection, or a video camera. The integrated image processing function of the video option provides a special benefit: the video image is shown on the screen in real time, and can be saved and output via the data interface. The evaluation electronics even assume complete control of the illumination and the motor zoom.

Data interfaces You use the data interfaces to output measuring points as well as to read and transmit settings, compensation values and programs. The RS-232-C/V.24 serial interface enables communication with a PC. You can connect printers or memory media to the USB port. A list of possible printers is available online.

Clearly Structured Display

The large, color fl at-panel touchscreen enables simple operation with intuitive operator guidance, since in each mode only those functions actually available are offered for selection. The numeric keypad and the few basic function keys are located in ergonomically favorable positions.

Point Measurement

The ND 1300 readouts are designed for 2-D measurements. You are provided with various tools with which you can manually or automatically measure points. For automatic point measurement you simply move to the approximate position. The active tool (option) automatically finds the actual edge. This objective point measurement permits a high degree of repeatability. This makes it possible for you to work quickly, reliably and effortlessly, while at the same time maintaining a low degree of measurement uncertainty.

Integrated Image Processing

The ND 1300 with video option optimally combines in one unit the functions of an evaluation electronics unit with the capability of displaying the image of the measured object directly on the screen. The separate PC with a frame grabber or monitor with crosshair generator that you would normally need is not necessary. Video cameras with S-Video or composite interfaces can be connected.

Axis Positioning

The CNC option lets the ND 1300 work as a full-fl edged control, directly controlling the positioning of the X, Y, Z and Q axes. Servo motors and stepper motors can be connected. Amplifiers with two or three axes for stepping motors are available as accessories.
