4.2 Calibration of Presetter
4.2.1 Set the camera’s working distance
The working distance is defined as the distance between the front edge of the camera tube shield and the object to be measured, for example a tool cutting edge.
This measurement is preset by the design and the production tolerances of the camera tube shield (lens).
The working distance must be set following the instructions in the
enclosed calibration log with a permissible tolerance of 100 ±
0.1mm. (3.937 ± .004”)

4.2.2 Check illumination
After the working distance is checked, the homogeneity and brightness of the illumination must be set. For this, you must not have anything in the camera’s visual field.
To check the illumination the greyscales are checked in the camera’s horizontal and
vertical alignment on both edges of the image as well as the middle of the image and
the results shown on 6 lines.
The illumination reaches its optimum setting if these lines are as horizontal as possible and within the horizontal tolerance range marked by 2 purple lines.
You access the operating mode for setting the illumination using the following menu
steps:

5.1.2 Live picture
The object to be measured and the various adjustment aids depending on the operating mode (cross hairs, adjustment bars, test LED, measuring lines, analysis window,
measuring results) are displayed on the live picture operating mode.
5.1.2.1 Cross hairs
The cross hairs give an overview of the position of the contour.
In the "Fixed axis" operating mode the measurements always refer to these cross
hairs with the origin at 0.0 mm or inches. In the "Preset" and "Maximum" operating
modes these cross hairs remain so that the tool reference for the whole measuring
structure is retained. Additional red measuring lines are created on the object’s profile depending on the measuring method determined or selected.
5.1.2.2 Adjustment bars
Adjustment bars are provided for both directions in the "Fixed axis" operating mode.
The pointer in the X adjustment bar gives the contour’s positive or negative deviation
from the measuring line in the X direction, the Z adjustment bar does the same in the
Z direction. The different colours on the bar show the distance of the contour from the
measuring line.
The different setting ranges have the following limits:
Colour Setting range
Grey ± (16 – 60) µm
Yellow ± (4 -15) µm
Green ± (0 -3) µm
5.1.2.3 Test LED
The test LED indicates whether the TCAM2 can correctly apply one of the implemented measurement functions to the object displayed.
Page 21
digiset 5
Urma AG, Switzerland www.urma.ch page 21
• If no measurement functions can be carried out correctly,
the test LED will be red.
Then the data cannot be analysed or further processed by the user.
• If the measurement can be carried out correctly,
the test LED will be green.
5.1.2.4 Measuring lines
The auxiliary lines determined by the TCAM2 using the object to be measured are
marked as measuring lines. They are shown in red.
In the "Fixed axis" operating mode the contour of the object must be aligned to these.
In the "Maximum" and "Preset" operating modes the measuring lines are attached to
the object.
The cross hair axes can also be shown in red as a measuring line
if the selected measuring function requires this, for example for
point measuring with the "Fixed axis" operating mode.
5.1.2.5 Analysis window
The analysis window is displayed as a square edged in red. It marks the area where
the TCAM2 carries out contour measurements so that the most interesting area can
be selected even with objects that have complex contours.
The size of the analysis window can be changed as required. After selecting the
"Range" operating mode, a new analysis window can be created by clicking anywhere in the live picture.
You access this operating mode using the following menu steps:
Main menu Sub-menu 1
Imaging
Ö
Range
When the contour of the object to be measured is clear (line - radius - line) select the whole object field as the analysis window. If
several edges or complex contours are visible, restrict the analysis
window.
5.1.2.6 Measuring results
The measuring results calculated will be displayed on the corresponding position of
the object depending on the measuring programs selected, such as line, angle, radius etc.
If a radius is detected when analysing an object contour, this will be shown as a red
circle and the length of the radius shown in the circle. If the radius on the object contour is smaller than 0.3 mm or larger than 20 mm this value will not be shown.

6.2 Imaging
6.2.1 Coordinate system (optional)
The names of the vertical and horizontal axes often vary with measuring instruments.
And so vertical and horizontal adjustment devices also differ in their axis assignment
for example.
This operating mode is therefore used for the axis assignment (X = horizontal or vertical, Z = vertical or horizontal) including the imaging axes with the counter module
axes.

Black/White
Here you can decide whether an object and its contour are displayed in colour (false
colours) or in black and white (grey scale).
The standard setting with false colours is used for the transmitted light application.
It gives optimum optical contrast for your observations and is the basis for precise
measuring results.
Incident applications, such as cutting inspections,
are carried out in the Black/White setting because
with this the user can check the surface of the object
visually very easily for any damage.
You can use the "Line" and "Radius" measurement
function to analyse edges on the surface of an object
very well geometrically.

Absolute zero point
The absolute zero point is the reference point for all stored tool references.
For this reason, before saving tool references, it is necessary to store the absolute
zero point as follows.
Procedure:
Select the "Absolute zero point" operating mode.
1. Enter the known dimensions of the setting pin.
2. Move the two measuring points in X and Z in any order and confirm the relevant positions by pressing the <Record > key.
3. After accepting the two measuring points the TCAM2 is in the "Measure centre" operating mode with 0 as the tool reference so that the measurement on
the calibration pin and thus the correct recording of the absolute zero point
can be checked.
The order of recording the measuring point doesn’t matter because Digiset 5 carries out the allocation by itself.

8 Imaging
For each measuring procedure ensure that the edges of the object to be
measured are not dirty because this could lead to incorrect measuring results.
8.1 Starting imaging
After it is switched on the Digiset 5 runs in accordance with the settings made in Options.
The object to be measured must be moved until it is in camera range and the contour
of the object, e.g. the tool cutting edge must be focussed sharply by turning the tool
on the tool support.
Procedure:
1. Move the object into the camera’s visual range.
2. If the relevant contour of the object is not clear, select the "Range" operating
mode and, using the mouse, make it the required size and drag it round the
relevant edge.
3. Turning the object to be measured on its support sets the greatest deviation
and thus the focus level.
4. While the object is being turned the test LED in the upper left corner turns
green as soon as the measurement is correct, i.e. the greatest deviation has
been determined. You must ensure here that the turning speed is not too
great.
It is vital here that the camera’s working distance has been set
correctly when commissioning the system (focussing).
If a counter module is connected the system waits for the reference marks of the
connected measuring systems to be transferred. The readings taken will be displayed directly after the reference trip.

Imaging
Ö
Fixed axis
After selection the system analyses the object contour and automatically suggests a
measuring procedure for carrying out measurements immediately. The measuring
procedure used is displayed in the status window at the same time. If an alternative
measuring procedure is required it is possible to enter the measuring procedure manually by pressing the button in the status window.
Procedure:
6. Move the object into the camera’s visual range.
7. Roughly set the picture focus by turning the object on its support to its
maximum deviation.
8. As soon as the object to be measured is within the focussing area, the adjustment bars are displayed. The TCAM2 automatically determines the best
measuring procedure and the test LED goes green.
9. Move the edge of the object as close as possible to the cross hairs so that
the arrow of the adjustment bar corresponding to the deviation direction is in
the green area.
10. The focus is finely adjusted by once again turning the object in the direction
of the focus level until the arrow shows the maximum deviation in the corresponding adjustment bar.
11. If the TCAM2 does not set the measuring procedure or the analysis window
to your requirements, change this manually.
The analysis window should always be around the co-ordinate origin point.
12. Align the contour on the measuring lines. Note the adjustment bars that give
you optimum support for this.
13. If the adjustment bar pointers are in the middle you have found the best
possible position for the object. You can now further process the data and
start measuring again.

3. Select the operating mode as described above.
4. Turning the object to be measured on its support sets the greatest deviation.
5. While the object is being turned the test LED turns green as soon as the
measurement is correct, i.e. the greatest deviation has been determined.
You must ensure here that the turning speed is not too great. When the
measurement has been made correctly the offset values are saved and
transferred through the serial port.
6. If the object is set to a specific size, the object must be moved again to the
greatest deviation position so that the arrow of the adjustment bar corresponding to the deviation direction is in the green area again.
7. Then the unit switches to the "Preset" measuring method.

middle. The edge point is next to the cross hair origin point when both pointers are in
the middle of the green area.

8.3 Measuring procedures
8.3.1 Principal procedures in contour analysis
Digiset 5 has two main measuring procedures that are used for analysing an object
contour.
• Point measurement
• Line or angle measurement
8.3.1.1 Point measurement
Point measurement determines the highest deviation value in the corresponding axis.
This is done in the "Fixed axis" measuring method by moving the object to be measured to the corresponding cross hairs axis so that the adjustment bar pointer is in the
green area.
In the "Maximum" and "Preset" measuring methods Digiset 5 automatically calculates
the highest deviation position and creates the red measuring lines vertically or horizontally.
8.3.1.2 Line or angle measurement
Line measurement determines and analyses one or more of the object’s straight contour sections.
In the "Fixed axis" measuring method, red lines which pass through the cross hairs
origin point are drawn parallel to these contour sections and their angles to the cross
hairs displayed. The distance of the object to be measured from the red measuring
line(s) is indicated by the adjustment bar pointers.
In the "Maximum" and "Preset" measuring methods the red measuring lines are
placed directly above the object’s straight contour sections. The imaging results and
the current position of the optical equipment carrier are taken into account together.

8.3.2 Detailed description of measuring procedures
12 detailed measuring procedures have been developed from the main measuring
procedures. Digiset 5 uses these to analyse contours.

8.4.1 Line
The "Line" measurement function is used to measure a line visually from point to
point. If the TCAM2 finds an edge near the selected point, the next edge pixel will be
taken as the display and analysis point. If there is no edge nearby, the precise position of the mouse pointer will be taken.
Procedure:
1. Select "Line".
2. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and left click. The TCAM2
sets the first analysis point on the next edge pixel.
3. Move the mouse pointer to the next position and left click. The TCAM2 sets
the second analysis point on the next edge pixel. The function is now closed
and angle, length and the orthogonal ∆x and ∆z difference of the line are
displayed in the status window.
The first analysis point is the origin point for calculating the angle
while the second analysis point marks the end of the line whose
angle is calculated on the horizontal axis.

The "Radius" measurement function is used to measure visually a circle or radius
from 3 points. Here too the TCAM2 looks for the next edge pixel as an analysis point.
Procedure:
1. Select "Radius".
2. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and left click. The TCAM2
sets the first analysis point here.
3. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and left click. The TCAM2
sets the second analysis point here.
4. Move the mouse pointer to the desired position and left click. The TCAM2
sets the third analysis point here and draws the circle calculated directly.
The radius and the x and z co-ordinates of the centre of the circle (x0, z0)
can be seen in the status window.
By moving the optical equipment carrier along an object contour it
is possible to measure larger radii too.
8.4.4 With measure centre
In the line, angle, radius, perpendicular measurement programs etc. the measuring
points are marked by default with the mouse pointer. The "With measure centre" operating mode enables you to define these measuring points with the original cross
hair co-ordinates.
