HEIDENHAIN Digital Readouts & Metrology Tools
Simplifying and enhancing the measuring process is what the IK 5000 is all about. Its’ unparalleled, easy to use function reduce the learning curve.
Measure Magic
Probe any 2D or 3D feature and the IK 5000 knows, automatically, what type of feature you are measuring. Datum Magic, an extension of our patented Measure Magic technology enables automatic part alignment to be performed by probing a sequence of datum features. Now you can inspect features as fast as you can think of them-and push the work, not the buttons. With our auto repeat mode and a remote finish key, the operator can inspect an entire part without ever looking at or touching the computer. This is ideal for large CMMs, where the inspector isn't close to the readout...a real time saver, from the leader in innovative metrology solutions.
Sensible Constructions
Do you want the line that intersects two planes? Or the circle that's created form the intersection of a plane and a cone? A distance between a 3D point and the center of a sphere? The IK 5000's intuitive user interface allows you to choose the construction and then select the features for use in the construction directly form the graphical part view. There is no need for multiple pages of different construction icons.
Easy Probe Selection
The user can select from a library of qualified probes and install the ones used most frequently in the toolbar. Just click the mouse to select them. The user can select probe tips from a star probe simply by moving the probe in the direction of the tip to be activated...the operator doesn't have to touch...or look at...the computer!
Multiple Options Part Views
Multiple-Plan Views: The IK 5000 offers true graphical part representation. Its Graphical Interface provides all the information you need in an intuitive format with four independent views: 3D modeling, XY, YZ or ZX plan view. Tolerancing or construction features may be selected from any of the views.
Self-Programming
Measure your first part and the IK 5000 learns the datums, measuring sequence, tolerances, and reporting functions and then visually leads you through subsequent part inspections by following the flashing cursor. You simply select the program from an icon on the toolbar.
Part View Controls: Zoom in, zoom out, zoom to fit, zoom in on a selected area, pan and rotate functions, make the IK 5000 the most complete CMM readout available.
Quick View: Toolbar buttons allow the operator to view the part from any of a number of preselected orientations and elevations.
View From Probe: The IK 5000 allows you to view the graphical part representation as if you were viewing the part from the tip of the touch probe.
