1. INTRODUCTION

Laser measurement system HPI-3D is a two frequency laser interferometer
intended to be used mainly in machine geometry measurements. Its small size and
low weight simplify transportation and make the instrument especially useful for
service applications. Software version for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and automation of
many measurement processes make the interferometer easy to use. Software,
compliant with ISO 230-2 and similar norms, enable making rapports and diagrams.
It is possible to choose statistical results processing according to norms: ISO 230-2
(European), VDI/DGQ 3441 (German), NMTBA (USA), BSI BS 4656 Part 16 (British)
and PN-93 M55580 (Polish).
Laser Measurement System HPI-3D is highly configurable device although
already in its basic configuration it allows performing the complicated measurements
at highest possible precision. Available options will be described below in this user
manual.
Very good technical parameters of the interferometer allow using it in scientific
laboratories, for precision positioning, for scaling optical and magnetic measurement
systems, etc.

a. Safety considerations

The Laser Interferometer HPI-3D is a Safety Class I product designed and
tested in accordance with international safety standards. It is also a Class II Laser
product conforming to international laser safety regulations. The instrument and the
manual should be inspected and reviewed for safety markings and instructions
before operation.
INTRODUCTION

b. Warnings

Although the laser measurement system HPI-3D is design to be used in harsh
environment, the following conditions must be met:
The Laser Head must not be put near strong magnetic fields.
The head should not be unscrewed from its base and if it is, it may not be put
on a heat sink (e.g. thick metal plate).
The head must not be thrown or dropped.
Keep the optical components clean and avoid scratching them.
When the optics is dusted, clean it with pure alcohol.
Do not use the system beyond its work conditions.

2. QUICK START

The information presented in this chapter is only for quick start. More detailed
information can be found in the following chapters.

a. Main features

The HPI-3D is a device for contact measurement of the velocity of the moving
object.
The device operates according to the laser interferometer principle (see
Principles of Operation chapter). The Doppler shift phenomenon is used.
The basic measurement unit is the wavelength of the laser, i.e. 632nm.
The functionality of the instrument depends on the type of used optical
components.
The HPI-3D is can be used either as a stand alone device or with a PC
computer and the dedicated HPI Software.

b. How it works

The HPI-3D measures shift of the moving element in relevance to the reference
element as shown in the figure 2.1. It is important to notice, that the relative
movement and not the absolute position of any of the elements is detected!

FIG. 2.1. ILLUSTRATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION - LINEAR OPTICS

i. Linear optics

i. To the linear optics belong Linear Interferometer IL1 and Linear
Retroreflector RL1.
The operation of the HPI-3D with the linear optics used is shown in the figure
2.1. The laser outputs the laser beam consisting of two polarizations: Horizontal (H)
and Vertical (V). The Reference element (IL1) splits the beam into two parts. The H
polarized beam is reflected back to laser and the V polarized beam is directed into the
measurement path. The frequency of the V beam is changed according to the Doppler
Effect when the moving element is in motion.
The linear optics is mainly used for measurement of:
Shift Velocity Acceleration Vibrations Straightness with 3D method Squareness with 3D method (RE3D element required) Parallelism with 3D method (RE3D element required)

ii. Angular optics

To the angular optics belong Angular Interferometer IK1 and Angular
Retroreflector RK1.
QUICK START
2
The operation of the HPI-3D with the angular optics used is shown in the
figure 2.2. The laser outputs the laser beam consisting of two polarizations:
Horizontal (H) and Vertical (V). The IK1 splits the beam into two parts. Both beams
are directed into the measurement path but are parallel shifted by 50.8 mm. The
frequency of both beams is changed according to the Doppler Effect when the RK1
element is in motion.
The frequency change of both beams is the same when RK1 and IK1 are shifted
linearly. In this case no measured signal is detected by the laser head.
The laser detects movement only when the IK1 and RK1 are rotated against
each other. In this case the frequency change of the H beam is different from the
frequency change of the V beam.

iii. Wollaston optics

To the angular optics belong Wollaston Prism WP2 and Wollaston
Retroreflector WRP2.
The operation of the HPI-3D with the Wollaston optics used is shown in the
figure 2.3. The laser outputs the laser beam consisting of two polarizations:
Horizontal (H) and Vertical (V). The WP2 splits the beam into two parts. Both beams
are directed into the measurement path. There is a certain angle between the beams.
The frequency of both beams is changed according to the Doppler Effect when the
WP2 element is in motion.
The frequency change of both beams is the same when WP2 and WP2 are
shifted linearly. In this case no measured signal is detected by the laser head.
The laser detects movement only when the WP2 is moved perpendicular to the
beam from the laser. In this case the frequency change of the H beam is different from
the frequency change of the V beam, because the lengths of beam paths 1 and 2 are
different – see figure 2.3
The laser head with Wollaston optics is insensitive to linear
movements.
