HAWK EQUIPMENT – WARNING
This warning refers to CNC systems
Warning – hazardous moving parts.
To avoid entrapment, keep fingers and other body parts
away from moving parts
To stop all CNC movement in an emergency situation move the joystick in ANY direction.
This will interrupt the CNC programme and stop any movement.
In the case of a system failure or crash, to stop the CNC movement switch the Control Power Supply off or switch off
the mains power to the system.

OPERATION
OPERATIONWARNING: ENSURE THE RELEVANT START UP AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES ARE ALWAYS FOLLOWED
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO SYSTEM (SEE PAGE 15).
To achieve the optimum results from the Hawk Measuring System, the illumination and optics need to be adjusted to
provide the best possible image to the operator. Certain lighting options are better for some applications than others.
Illumination and focus should be adjusted until the image is clear and bright, with good contrast. Maximum contrast
gives the best image resolution and allows for the highest level of accuracy and repeatability.
Contact the nearest Vision Engineering branch/distributor for further advice.
Objective lens
Iris control
Each Macro objective lens has an adjustable iris which restricts the aperture of the lens. By rotating the control ring
on the bottom of the objective lens, the iris opens and closes. Adjusting the objective lens aperture slightly increases
or decreases the depth of field. This feature is useful for subjects where greater surface definition is required. The
same results can be achieved with a Micro objective lens by adjusting the iris wheel in the Episcopic illuminator.
Closing the Substage Iris improves ability to locate an edge on a cylindrical component/raised profile.

• Ad just the sur face light ing to suit the com po nent by us ing the thumbwheel and the beam split mir ror.
• Adjust light in ten sity.
• Adjust the depth of field of the objective lens by rotating the iris control thumbwheel (a smaller iris increases
the depth of field).
• To change the image con trast, fully engage the beam split mirror control lever.

OPERATION
Ringlight control
The LED Ringlight, which can be used with Sub-stage illumination, provides above stage illumination and is used for
illuminating surface features, blind holes, etc.
u Switch the unit on and adjust intensity as required (QC or PC software).
u The LED illuminator is provided with a temperature protection system to ensure long term LED performance is not
compromised by overheating.
u The Ring light status LED u operates as follows:
Solid Green: The controller is fully operational
Off: The LED Ringlight is not connected
Flashing Green/Amber: The unit is in thermal protection mode, the LEDs will gradually reduce until the temperature
stabilises. Once stabilised the LED will return to green but the maximum brightness level will remain limited, protecting
the Ringlight, until the unit is switched off. If the status persists, remove the illuminator and ensure neither the air inlets
nor the fan outlet are obstructed. If operating the Ringlight under PC control changing the quadrant status will return
the Ringlight to full brightness, ensuring sufficient light under all options.
Solid Red: The unit is in thermal shutdown mode to protect the life of the LEDs. The LEDs have reached a critical
temperature and the controller is unable to stabilise them. The unit will remain in shutdown until a safe
temperature is reached, at this point it will return to normal operation (indicated by the status LED being green).
If the problem persists allow the Ringlight to cool down, remove the illuminator and ensure neither the air inlets
nor the fan outlet are obstructed. If the problem cannot be resolved please contact your nearest representative
(see back page).
u In the above Solid Red condition, remove the illuminator and ensure neither the air inlet v around the
objective, nor the fan outlet w are obstructed.

Substage
The Substage illumination is used for the accurate measurement of
through holes, profiles and edge features etc. The depth of field is
adjusted by rotating the thumbwheel on the Hawk base.
The illumination can be used with spotlight, ringlight and
EPI illumination systems.
Adjust light intensity by rotating the dial control on the
illumination power supply unit.
Best practice
To ensure the most accurate measurements are taken it is recommended that during the measurement process these
following guidelines are followed:
• When se lect ing points on fea tures the point should al ways be ap proached in the same fash ion, e.g. al ways
work to ward a point on the X axis first, mov ing from left to right and then move to wards a point in the Y axis,
mov ing from top to bot tom. This pro ce dure will in crease re peat abil ity.
• If looking to measure the form of a feature, it is best to take at least eight points to achieve the most
repeatable re sult.
• En sure fans exhaust areas are not blocked or ob structed.
• Do not lean on or shake the upper arm of your Hawk product.
Note: Contact your local Vision Engineering representative for full details of available training
programs.
Note: To achieve the very best from your Hawk non-contact measuring system, you should carry out
regular routine maintenance as well as undertaking a schedule of service and calibration (see
service and calibration record, at the end of this user guide).

u To adjust the graticules, place a known 90º gauge (slip gauge or crossline) on the stage and focus the image.
Close one eye and locate the crossline on the corner of the gauge by unlocking and adjusting the grubscrews.
Once the image is located, lock the grubscrews with the locking nuts.
u Repeat the procedure using the other eye. Make the adjustment so that the graticules overlay each other.
Note: If the image is uncomfortable to the eyes, repeat the above procedure.

Environmental conditions
Hawk is an accurate, industrial gauging instrument. To achieve the optimum accuracy and repeatability, the following
considerations should be taken into account:
• Po si tion the Hawk on a firm, rigid ta ble.
• Do not position the instrument near any source of vi bra tion.
• Ensure that the illuminator power supplies have sufficient ven ti la tion.
• Do not position the instrument close to a radiator or similar heating sys tem.
• Do not position the instrument in direct sunlight, or where bright reflections will prevent a com fort able viewing
position.
