The HDV300 and HDV400 systems include the following features:
A 5-megapixel digital video camera.
•
• Available with a choice of seven telecentric lenses that provide micron-level resolution and optical distortion as low as 0.001% across the field of view (depending on the lens) for accurate field-of-view (FOV) measurements. • The APT60 rotary stage option. The APT60 stage provides numerous benefits including increased radial load stability and moment load rating. • Available in a manual version, where X-Y-Z positioning is by means of handwheels, and in a CNC version, where motion is motorized and under computer control. With the CNC version, X-Y motion can be under full software control, or under manual control by means of a joystick unit. X-Y travel is 11.81 x 5.9 inches (300 x 150 millimeters) with HDV300 systems and 15.75 x 5.9 inches (400 x 150 millimeters) with HDV400 systems. • MetLogix M3 touch screen software with the M3 DXF/FOV option pack. With the M3 software, users can import DXF CAD files over a network and make automatic 2D go-no- go comparisons to an engineering design by using video edge detection (VED), with no need for the screen overlays that would be required with an optical comparator. 2D geometric functions include points, lines, circles, arcs, rectangles, distances, slots, angles, and skew.
• Rugged benchtop machines that can be operated in a quality lab or on the shop floor.
• The system housing is built of welded steel.
• The stage is made of machined hardened aluminum and has two dovetail slots to allow the clamping of parts and fixtures. Maximum workload capacity is 50 kilograms (110 pounds). The stage is the same as Starrett’s HB400 horizontal optical comparator.
• Linear glass scales provide 0.5 µm (0.00002 inches) of resolution to read stage motion.
• The computer and M3 controller are located inside the comparator housing, resulting in a clean design with minimal external wiring.
• Air circulation and a slightly positive pressure are maintained inside the housing by a filtered fan. The system’s standard 24V fan system is designed to provide cooling in relatively clean environments. An optional Clean Air Kit comes with a more powerful 12V fan system and a large 120 x 120 millimeters (4.7 x 4.7 inches) filter designed to trap dust and oil particles in dirtier environments, such as machine shops. • The main operator interface is a 24-inch touch screen video monitor, which displays a live video image of the part in addition to geometry tools and digital readings. The image of the part can be resized using pan and zoom, and measurements are taken by simply tapping a feature on the screen.

The HDV system or HDV system and cabinet stand are shipped in a single wooden shipping crate, which is designed to be moved by a forklift or a pallet cart. Use a forklift or pallet cart to move the crate within the building to the final location where the system will be installed. Exercise care in handling the unopened shipping crate, as excessive force or a drop might damage its contents.
5.3 Uncrating the Equipment
To uncrate the equipment, refer to the following figures and perform the following steps:
1. Use a reversing battery powered drill with a Phillips bit to remove all wood screws from the top of the crate.
2. Remove the top of the crate.
3. Remove all wood screws from the side panels of the crate, then remove the panels. This action exposes the HDV system and cabinet stand (if ordered) on the pallet base of the crate.
Figure 7. Removing the Screws from the Crate
4. Remove any additional items from the cabinet to decrease the weight.
5. Using at least two people, lift the cabinet stand (if ordered) off the pallet base. Bend your knees when lifting heavy items, not your back.
Figure 8. System on Wooden Pallet
6. The system is secured to the wooden pallet by four mounting tabs and bolts. Use a crescent wrench to loosen the nut of each bolt, then remove the nuts. This allows the system to be lifted off the pallet.
Figure 9. Wooden Pallet Secured by Mounting Tabs and Bolts
7. To lift the metrology unit, insert two 5-foot (1.2 m) long sections of ¾ inch (20 mm) plumbing pipe through the mounting holes provided for that purpose at the front and back of the base, as illustrated in the following figure.
8. Using four people, lift each section of pipe and carry the metrology unit, which weights approximately 250 pounds (113 kilograms).
Figure 10. Lifting the Metrology Unit
9. Once the system is lifted off the pallet, use a 5 millimeter Allen wrench to loosen the mounting tabs and rotate them by 90 degrees so that they no longer protrude.
5.4 Leveling the Cabinet Stand and Metrology Unit
Locate the cabinet stand so that it has a clearance of at least one foot (30 cm) on the sides and in the back for installation and maintenance. The cabinet should be leveled before the sytem is placed on top. In addition, the weight on each of the four feet of the cabinet should be made about equal to avoid deformation of the cabinet under the load.
To level the cabinet, refer to the following figure and perform the following steps:
1. Place a bubble level on the top surface in the right-to-left and front-to-back directions.
2. Adjust the height of the feet until the top surface is horizontal as follows: a. On each foot, turn the locknut counterclockwise to its lowest position. b. Use a crescent wrench to rotate the bolt clockwise to achieve the desired corner height. c. Assess the force required to rotate each foot to ensure that each foot bears about the same weight.
d. Rotate the locknut clockwise to prevent the bolt from further rotation.
e. Repeat the previous steps after the system has been placed on the cabinet stand. Ensure that unit is level and that each foot bears about the same weight.

5.5 Removing the Stage Locks
HDV systems use two steel stage locks to prevent movement of the stage during shipment. One stage lock is located directly below the stage. The second stage lock is located underneath the stage. See the following drawings. Remove these retainers once the equipment has been placed in its final position. Also remove any tape and packing materials that might have been added protect the equipment during shipment
To remove the stage locks, perform the following steps:
1. Using a metric hex wrench, remove the two M4 socket head cap screws that secure the retainer at location 1.
2. Using a metric hex wrench, remove the two M5 socket head cap screws that secure the retainer at location 2.

5.6 On-site Functional Test, Calibration and Training
All Starrett vision metrology systems and optical comparators are calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; however, it is possible that components might have moved during shipment. A complete functional test and calibration are recommended following physical installation. Professional system installation is normally provided by Starrett Factory Service Technicians or Starrett Authorized Service Technicians for all new vision metrology systems and optical comparators sold in North America. Installation can include equipment setup, on-site calibration and on-site operator training. While professional installation, calibration and training are separately quoted line items, these services are highly recommended and are purchased by most users. As part of its setup services, Starrett can oversee the equipment’s in -plant transportation to its permanent location and uncrating. Starrett can then perform the physical setup and electrical connection, followed by a completed functional checkout. This typically takes half day for a HDV system. The system should then be allowed to temperature stabilize overnight prior to calibration. On-site calibration normally takes place on the day following setup. Starrett offers ISO 17025 accredited calibrations. Calibration uses NIST-traceable glass grids, linear standards, and gage blocks. Calibration typically takes half day for a system like the HDV. If a motorized rotary stage is purchased with the system, then additional installation, set-up and calibration is required which can add another two hours of technician time plus the appropriate calibration equipment. On-site basic operator training can be provided following calibration. This typically takes half day for a system like the HD300 and HDV400. Many customers choose to augment basic training with one or two days of specialized hands-on training, where new operators program actual parts of the type on which they will be working. Training is with the new equipment and
is usually limited to one to three people, so that these can all get hands- on time. Starrett’s objective is to create power users, who can then train other users when needed.
Technical services in North America (USA, Canada and Mexico) are provided by professional installers and service technicians operating out of the Laguna Hills, CA, headquarters of Starrett Kinemetric Engineering, its regional sales offices, and its Starrett Authorized Service Partners. Outside of North America, Technical services are provided by Starrett subsidiaries in Brazil (for South America), Scotland (for Europe and Africa), China (for Mainland China), and Singapore (for Southeast Asia and Australia).
