4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Installation Overview
Starrett Kinemetric Engineering Vision Metrology and Optical systems are normally installed by a factory-trained technician who also provides operator training. The following information covers basic hardware installation if an installer is not available.
Installation on the system requires the following overall steps:
• Planning placement of the system
Moving the system
•
Unpacking the system
•
Setting up the system PC
•
Setting up the metrology unit
•
• Verifying the system is operational
4.2 Planning Placement of the System
Prior to unpacking the system, refer to the following guidelines to ensure an adequate operating environment is established.
A clean operating environment is recommended to minimize the accumulation of dirt on the optics and on precision mechanical parts, such as lead screws and encoder sca les.
HVR systems are designed to be installed on a benchtop at a height of approximately 85 cm (33.5 inches), which is the height of Starrett’s ergonomic workstation. A level work surface, as checked with a bubble level, is recommended, but is not essentia l. Allow 60 cm (24 inches) to right or left side of the metrology unit to position the system PC. An additional clearance of 30 cm (12 inches) on both sides is recommended for general access. Allow a minimum of 5 cm (2 inches) behind the unit for air flow, as the electronics compartment only uses convective air cooling. Refer to the following figure for dimensions of the HVR100 metrology unit. Completely opening the hinged door at the back of the metrology unit for service access requires an additional 50 cm (20 inches) of space. The metrology unit can be moved as needed for service.
