Ofda - MA

OFDA MA

The OFDA MA is a multi axes optical measurement system measuring diameter and roundness. Each unit acquires the measurements using three axes, with each axis at 60 degrees. A configuration with two units can measure up to six independent axes simultaneously, providing even higher accuracy and detail. The OFDA MA is a robust and compact unit, designed for online operation, it utilises solid state components and no moving parts.

Roundness Errors The accuracy of the measured diameter of an ellipse is determined by the number of cross sections taken at equidistant angles. The more cross sections taken the better the accuracy. Roundness is calulated by dividing the difference of the maximum and minimum diameter.. Below are a set of graphs illustrating the results using 2, 3 and 6 cross sections of an ellipse rotated over 180 degrees.
