A precise calibration is the foundation for any accurate mechanical or optical inspection. Only after a proper calibration can accurate and repeatable inspection results be obtained.
All PG1000’s are delivered having been factory calibrated, using proprietary certified glass reticles and a calibration process that is integrated in our REACTION software. PG Inspection Technologies recommends recalibrating PG1000 systems once every two years for light use, annually for regular use and as often as monthly or quarterly for heavy or multishift use.
The PG1000 systems can be calibrated with either a standard or linear calibration reticle. Both reticles calibrate the system at each zoom magnification.
The standard 1000-443 reticle will also calibrate the scales on the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) over a 50x50mm area. This reticle works well for applications that require a relatively small designated measuring area.
When a larger measuring area is routinely used, it is important to calibrate at more points along the X- and Y-axes. The larger 1000-645 linear calibration reticles calibrates the scales over the entire measuring range.
For both reticles, accurate distance compensation values are saved and applied during tool inspection for each axis, assuring accurate distance measurement.
