Electronic autocollimators are highly precise optical angle measurement instruments. They are used for the measurement of the most minute angle variations as well as angle adjustments of mirrors and other optical components. This makes them ideal for angular position monitoring or adjustment of reflectors in the optical, laser and semiconductor industries. They are also widely used in mechanical engineering to measure the straightness/parallelism of machine beds, to measure the pitch and yaw movements of machine axes, and to determine the position uncertainty of rotary and index tables.
The new electronic autocollimator ELCOMAT® 5000 of MÖLLER-WEDEL OPTICAL GmbH combines the best of the internationally renowned ELCOMAT® 3000 with a totally new hard- and software design. Due to a direct digital signal conversion in the sensor head the signal to noise ratio has been significantly improved. In comparison to ELCOMAT® 3000, the ELCOMAT® 5000 is characterized by a tenfold increased measuring frequency and wider dynamic range (measuring range/ measurement uncertainty). An integrated alignment aid allows a simple, fast and precise adjustment of the autocollimator. The ELCOMAT® 5000 enables an ease of handling even for non-specialized skilled employees.
The ELCOMAT® 5000 consists of a sensor head and an intelligent display unit. Thus, the autocollimator can be operated independently without a PC/Notebook.
For the first time, straightness measurement software has been integrated into the display unit, which allows for an easy and fast “on-the-fly” measurement. In particular, during the production process of guideways a significant amount of time is saved.
Since the 28th of August 2017 MÖLLER-WEDEL OPTICAL GmbH is a DAkkS accredited calibration laboratory for the dimensional measurand: Angle (DAkkS accreditation number D-K-20592-01). Thus, MÖLLER-WEDEL OPTICAL GmbH can supply the ELCOMAT® 5000 with a calibration certificate according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
The well-known ELCOMAT® 3000 is still available and will be maintained, repaired and calibrated by us. Also, here it is possible to obtain a calibration according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
