SQUARE-master

The measuring unit comprises a vertical column of fine-grain hard stone, and a saddle with vacuum air bearing. The base and guideway surfaces are lapped to the highest precision. The entire saddle unit is servo-operated under PC control.

With the appropriate accessories, envelope measurements can be carried out with SQUARE-master. This is the most accurate method for squareness measurements ever.

 

Advantages:

  • Complete integrally balanced squareness measuring system for ultra-high precision
  • Extremely high repetition accuracy thanks to the patented vacuum air bearing system
  • SQUARE-master is easily and precisely positioned on the test plate by valve-controlled air cushioning
  • Programmable dynamic measuring sequence.
  • The workpiece is measured on its base surface as in practice. Test measurement is therefore truly functional
  • Fast test results: absolute squareness is dynamically measured in a single sequence
  • The software incorporates automatic tabulation and logging of error compensation data
  • Geometrical deviations caused by temperature and/or humidity fluctuations can be compensated by the reverse calibration method (workpiece orientation 0° and 180°)

*Squareness according to ISO: The squareness measurement value applies to a theoretical line approx. 60 mm centrally in front of the guideway surface.

The accuracy values apply to 20 °C and stable temperature conditions (ΔT ≤ 0.2K / 24h).

Calibration Set for Knife-Edge Squares

Kunz precision presents a simple but unique solution for measuring knife-edge squares: Hereby the new developed lever gauge GT 31-TK is employed. The measuring probe shows a cylindrical touching surface with two markings in between which the test piece is being probed. In this way, the inner and outer leg of the test piece can be measured quickly and straightforward.
