OPERATIONTo 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.

Episcopic illuminator
The Episcopic illuminator provides through the lens illumination for measuring deep surface features, holes and blind
bores. The light follows the optical path through the objective lens. The following adjustment can be made:
• 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 intensity by rotating the dial control on the light power supply unit.
• 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 contrast fully engage the beam split mirror control lever.
LED Ringlight
The Ringlight illuminator is used as follows:
• To il lu mi nate op ti cally dif fi cult sur faces/sur face fea tures.
• For use with Macro ob jec tive lenses.
• The Ringlight gives a shadow free im age.
• Can be used with Episcopic and Substage il lu mi na tion.
To adjust the light intensity rotate the dial control on the control box (see page 22).

Controls
The LED ringlight, which can be used with substage
illumination, provides above stage il lu mi na tion and is used
for illuminating sur face fea tures, blind holes, etc.
u Switch the unit on u and adjust intensity by
rotating the dimmer control v.
u The LED illuminator is provided with a temperature
protection system w to ensure long term LED
performance is not compromised by overheating.
u If the temperature protection indicator illuminates,
the power to the LED's will gradually reduce until the temperature
stabilises. If the indicator remains illuminated, remove the illuminator and
ensure neither the air inlet around the objective, nor the fan outlet are obstructed.
LED illuminator specification
The LED illuminator unit has an integral power supply with the following specification:
Input voltage: 110 to 240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.9A max
Fuse rating: 110v 1.0A anti-surge
230v 0.5A anti-surge
The fuse is located in the IEC mains connector on the rear of the control box (see page 13).

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.
Taking a measurement (QC-200)
Select the correct lens for the component being measured, based on the size of the component and field of view
requirements (refer to magnification tables on page 20).
Focus on the component or feature being measured, firstly use the Z axis coarse control and then the fine control until
the component or feature is in focus.
A measurement is made by moving the stage and subject under the cross-line graticule, visible through the
dynascopic viewing head.
Features and dimensions are measured by aligning the cross-line with the desired feature and entering the preset
number of points evenly distributed around the feature.*
A point is measured by aligning the cross-line on a single point.
Lines can be measured by aligning the cross-line at a minimum of two points.
Circles can be measured by aligning the cross-line at a minimum of 3 points on its circumference.
The software will calculate the result based on the points entered and display in the results window. Distances are
calculated by selecting relevant features and selecting the distance function.
The accuracy of the stage movement is achieved by the application of NLEC (Non Linear Error Correction) which
compensates for any mechanical stage errors across the calibrated stage area. The unique NLEC file, relating to the
relevant stage is stored in the Quadra-Chek.
*Further Details on taking measurements can be found in the relevant Quadra-Chek user guide.

Thumbwheel
Taking a measurement (QC-300/QC-5000 VED)
Select the correct lens for the component being measured, based on the size of the component and field of view
requirements (refer to magnification tables on page 20).
Focus on the component or feature being measured. Use the Z axis control until the component or feature is in focus.
A measurement is made by moving the stage so that subject or the start of the subject is within the field of view,
dependent on the feature being measured.*
A point is measured by aligning the simple tool on a single point. Lines can be measured by aligning the simple tool
on two points (minimum) on the line. Circles can be measured by aligning the simple tool on three points (minimum)
around the circle. A point can also be measured by selecting the single or multipoint tool on the QC-300 and probing
single or multiple points on selected features.
Features and dimensions are measured by selecting the appropriate QC-5000 video tool, from the toolbar, aligning
the tool over the feature being measured. After performing a simple tool teach the tool is fired and the
predetermined number of points will scan across the tool area and find the edge of the feature.
The software will calculate the result based on the points entered and display in the results window. Distances are
calculated by selecting relevant features and selecting the distance function.
*Further Details on taking measurements can be found in the relevant Quadra-Chek user guide.
Good working practices
When selecting points on features the point should always be approached in the same fashion, e.g. always work
towards a point in the X axis first, moving from left to right and then move towards a point in the Y axis, moving from
top to bottom.
This procedure will increase repeatability. If looking to measure the form of a feature, it is best to take at least eight
points to achieve the most repeatable result.
Note: Contact your local Vision Engineering representative for full details of available training
programs.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is important for the longstanding of the Hawk Measuring System. For more complex
maintenance contact the local Vision Engineering representative.
Graticule adjustment
u Undo the securing clip at the base of the front cover and lift the cover off.
u To focus and centralize each graticule, loosen the appropriate retaining knob and move the graticule up or down
to focus. Re-tighten the retaining knob.
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.
