Select Optimal Laser Metrology Solution Based On Actual Measurement Demands
In the field of guideway geometric accuracy calibration for precision machine tools, semiconductor and laser processing industries, the G600 and G400 series of measuring instruments, with their consistent core accuracy performance, cover the full range of long and short distance inspection scenarios. Both devices feature a system accuracy of 1 micron, a resolution of 100 nanometers, and retain all inspection functions for straightness, parallelism and squareness; the only difference between them lies in the maximum measuring stroke: the G600 is adapted for calibrating long-distance equipment within 50 meters, while the G400 focuses on inspecting compact precision production lines within 5 meters, and both can output traceable, non-attenuated micron-level measurement data under both long and short range working conditions.
Currently, the high-end precision manufacturing industry has been continuously raising the standards for guideway geometric accuracy inspection, and both large gantry equipment and small semiconductor automated production lines require stable and reliable micron-level calibration tools. To address the industry’s differentiated measurement needs for long and short strokes, the G600 and G400 series precision measuring devices adopt a homogeneous core measurement architecture, featuring consistent high-precision performance while covering different industrial scenarios with varying measurement ranges, thus solving the pain point of “accuracy degradation over long distances and excess performance of short-stroke equipment” that plagues enterprises during model selection.
I. Unified core measurement parameters with consistent accuracy for both long and short measurements
The G600 series and G400 series are equipped with the same measurement system, with fully identical core hardware specifications, and there is no issue of reduced accuracy for long-range models.
System measurement accuracy: 1 micrometer (1μm)
Device base resolution: 100 nanometers (100nm)
Whether for inspecting 50-meter ultra-long guide rails or short-stroke equipment within 5 meters, the two sets of equipment deliver consistent output data in terms of stability and traceability, with their measurement results enjoying equal credibility, and fully meet the metrological requirements for the whole process of machine tool factory acceptance, regular production line calibration and equipment troubleshooting.
II. Full-dimensional geometric detection function, fully compatible with both models
The G600 and G400 testing items fully cover the conventional accuracy verification of industrial guide rails, with no functional limitations whatsoever:
Guideway Straightness Detection
Parallelism Detection for Small-span Guide Rails
Parallelism Detection for Long-Span Multi-Guide Rails
Equipment Verticality Calibration
A single device can complete multi-dimensional geometric error measurement in one stop, eliminating the need to match multiple testing instruments, thus reducing the equipment procurement and operation & maintenance costs for enterprises.
III. Clear range division to precisely match segmented application scenarios
The core difference between the two devices lies in their maximum measuring stroke, as they are developed specifically for different segments of the precision manufacturing sector:
- G600 Series: Specialized for large-scale long-distance equipment within 50 meters
It is adapted to the precision calibration of long-stroke heavy-duty processing equipment, with typical application scenarios including ultra-long guide rail working conditions such as general gantry CNC machine tools, PCB drilling and milling equipment, laser processing equipment, semiconductor processing equipment, and semiconductor testing equipment, and supports full-range synchronous measurement up to 50 meters. - G400 Series: For compact precision equipment within 5 meters
Focusing on small-sized precision production lines with limited space, it is compatible with compact CNC machine tools within 5 meters, semiconductor micro-equipment and various automated tooling equipment. Featuring a lightweight body and flexible deployment, it is suitable for rapid inspection and calibration of a single machine.
There is no distinction in accuracy class between the G600 and G400, and their application scenarios are solely divided by measuring stroke. Enterprises can select the appropriate model based on the length of their own equipment guide rails: the G400 series is for compact precision equipment with a stroke of less than 5 meters, while the G600 series is for large long-stroke processing equipment with a stroke of less than 50 meters. Both models are backed by the unified underlying micron-level high-precision technology, and can deliver stable and reliable measurement data for guide rail geometric accuracy under different measurement working conditions, fully meeting the metrology and quality control requirements of high-end precision manufacturing.
