Page 81: Features Of Hl-D3 Series
The HL-D3 series divides the measuring range into segments. The sensitivity is controlled for each segment zone (beam power control unit) for optimiz a- tion.
Page 82 Chapter 4 Description of Functions In the multi-zone beam control measurement mode, the sampling cycle (measurement cycle) is determined according to the conditions such as beam power control unit, number of beam power controls, etc. Since measurements are sequentially taken for the zone segmented in width, be careful for misalignment of the measuring point for high speed traveling workpiece.
Page 83: Various Types Of Measurement Mode
Chapter 4 Description of Functions 4-1-2 Various Types of Measurement Mode The HL-D3 series has four large measurement modes shown below: Controls the light intensity by dividing the measuring Multi-zone beam control range into multiple zones and measures the displace- (MZBC) measurement ment sequentially at high precision.
Page 84 Chapter 4 Description of Functions  Whole-synchronizing measurement mode (MZBC not allowed) The whole shape in width is measured at the same time. The whole measuring range is measured with the same radiation level. The multi-zone beam control (MZBC) function cannot be used. There is no mixture of different reflection rates.
Page 85 Chapter 4 Description of Functions  Multi-Select Displacement Sensing (MSDS) mode (MZBC allowed) It is the mode to specify multiple desired positions for width (X) and measure only the displacements at the specified positions at a high speed. This is called Multi-Select Displacement Sensing (MSDS) mode.
Page 86 Chapter 4 Description of Functions Position misalignment of width The measuring position [mm] of the width (X) in the "multi-select displace- ment sensing mode" shifts when the displacement is changed. The farther the width of the field is from the center, the larger the position misalignment for the displacement is.
Page 87: Various Types Of Acquisition Data
4-1-3 Various Types of Acquisition Data The data that can be acquired in the high speed multi-point laser displacement sensor HL-D3 series are the following three types: ・ Detected light intensity image (acquired from the detected light intensity screen) ・ Displacement shape waveform (acquired from the detected light intensity screen or the buffering function) ・...
Page 88 Chapter 4 Description of Functions For details, refer to "4-4-8 HL-D3SMI System Settings". System setting screen The example below is described based on "Interpolation method = None, Graph display method = point". ●For whole-synchronizing measurement mode and multi-zone beam control measurement mode For the specified width measuring range, the displacement data is obtained every 25 μm.
Page 89 Chapter 4 Description of Functions ●For multi-select displacement sensing mode It is the displacement data at the position specified in the setting for each mode. Example) The figure below is the waveform when the measure ment is taken at three points in the multi-select sensing mode, and "Point" is selected from the "Graph display method"...
Page 90 Chapter 4 Description of Functions  Shape waveform measurement value The calculation zone is specified from the displacement shape waveform to calculate step, width, cross-section area, etc. The calculation value acquired from the measurement value is called "Shape calculation measurement value (or simply "measurement value")".
Page 91: Setting Items And Data Flow
Chapter 4 Description of Functions 4-2 Setting Items and Data Flow Maximum two sensor heads can be connected to the controller. According to the num- ber of sensor heads connected, shape calculation for each head or two output calcul a- tion for one head can be performed for judgment.
Page 92 Chapter 4 Description of Functions 4-2-1 Relation Between Setting Condition and Sampling Cycle The sampling cycle (=measurement cycle) varies depending on some setting conditions. The following conditions that affect the sampling cycle are available: 1) Measurement mode: Whole-synchro/multi-zone beam control/constant pitch/multi-select displacement 2) Measuring range: Width (X), height (Z) 3) Number of multi-select measurements (at multi-select displacement sensing)
