Upgrade for spindle error analyser

The Lion Precision spindle error analyser, an industry standard for nearly ten years, has been updated with added capability and automated configuration.

The Lion Precision spindle error analyser, an industry standard for nearly ten years, has been updated with added capability and automated configuration.

Previous versions required the manual entry of sensor serial numbers, calibration details and the like.

The new SEA Version 8 has automated the process.

Using TEDS (transducer electronic data sheet) technology, the software acquires all of this information automatically when connected to the new Elite Series capacitive sensors.

In addition to being easier, the opportunity for operator error is greatly reduced.

When the new software is used with older capacitive sensors which do not support TEDS, calibration details are provided in text files which can be loaded into the system.

The calibration is then acquired from the text files instead of directly from the electronics.

Shift versus speed is a new test added in Version 8.

This test acquires data in five axes plus tilt measurements over a range of spindle speeds.

The results are presented in a chart showing shift in spindle position in all axes as a function of spindle speed.

Most existing tests have also added expanded features.

SEA 8 now speaks English, German, French, Japanese and Chinese.

Once a language is chosen, the system will default to the selected language until a different language is selected.
