The windows software ELCOLEVEL
served to measure the straightness, squareness, parallelism, angle
of rolls and
flatness of guideways with angle capturing measuring systems like
e.g. electronical autocollimators and inclination scales. Measured
values of up to three measuring axes are simultaneously captured and
evaluated, whereby all measuring axes are free selectable with
available input device data channels. The data aqusition
is be made automatical and software controlled, but it is also possible
to input the measured values manually via keyboard.
Due the simultaneously measurement in three measuring axes e.g. it
is possible, with the integrated using of an autocollimator and a
inclination scale, to measure the straightness in two axes and the
angle of rolls of a guideway in a measurement process. The measuring priciple
The geometrical data are principally determined from the
location-dependent changes
of the tilt angles on the measuring object. The tilt angle
measurement itself is various for the different input devices. E.g.
at the using the auto-collimation method the location-dependent tilting of an
reference mirror to the optical axis of the measuring system will be
measured in two horizontal and vertical measuring axes. Inclination
scales consists of an measurement pendular with an integrated
inductive angle sensor.
All these input devices provides tilt angle measured values,
the input data for ELCOLEVEL. Depending
to the measurement problem ELCOLEVEL computed the straightness, squareness, parallelism or flatness of
the measuring object from these measured values. The accuracy of measurement is only determined
from the accuray of the input devices and
the enviroment influences. ELCOLEVEL – so that you can concentrate on the measurement
ELCOLEVEL is
characterized by a high ease of use and first class software
ergonomics. For different measurement problems you can create
custom-tailored measurement templates.
Furthermore
ELCOLEVEL enables the
editing, evaluation and storage of the measurement results as soon
as whose expressive representation in measurement records and free
configurable and scalable graphics. There are interfaces to edit and
evaluate the measurement results with additional applications (text
processing, spreadsheets etc.) via the MS-Windows clipboard or the
creation of textfiles.
For an customer-friendly using of
ELCOLEVEL and a easy
measurement design it is possible to save all measurement and
evaluation parameter in configuration files. The measurement process
takes place software-controlled as far as possible. Base of
all measurements are measurement templates wherein important
measurement parameter are saved (among others the measuring point
positions at the measuring object and the using measuring axes). The measurement status window
shows the progress of measurement. Here you can see all
essential informations of the current measurement like the measured
values, the using measurement template, the current or next
measuring position and so on. With the available functions you
start, stop, suspend and resume the measurements. During the
measured data aqusition incorrect captured values everytime can
corrected by repaeting the measurement at the belonging measuring position.
The measured data aquisition optionally takes place manual via
keyborad or remote control, automatical clock-controlled or via a
manual direct data input. The representation
of the measurement results takes place in free configurable
measurement records and graphics. ELCOLEVEL can save the
measured values and measurement records as textfiles in several
formats to processing the same with other applications.
To compare measurements ELCOLEVEL can represent the
results of any measurements in the same graphics, of course with
free selectable presentation parameters for each measurement. Compatibility
New interfaces for tilt angle measuring devices are always
developed. Please call OEG or ask by mail, so we can inform
you, which angle measuring devices are compatible with ELCOLEVEL.
If your device is not compatible yet, the OEG software
engineers also gladly develope a interface for your application. Download
