Heidenhain: Evaluation Electronics (IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK)
Evaluation Electronics for Metrological Applications
Evaluation Electronics for metrological applications offer numerous functions for measured data acquisition and statistical evaluation of measured values.
QUADRA-CHEK evaluation electronics for profile projectors, measuring microscopes, 2-D and video measuring machines as well as CMMs measure points on 2-D contours, depending on the version either automatically or manually by crosshairs, by optical edge detection or by video camera with real-time display of the live image and integrated image processing. For 3-D contours, such as planes, cylinders, cones and spheres, the measurement points are saved by probing with a touch probe.
In the optional CNC version, they also operate as full-fledged controls for axis positioning and can automatically execute measuring programs.
IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK | The universal PC package solution for measuring machines
IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK, the universal PC package solution for 2-D and 3-D measuring tasks, is equally suitable as initial equipment on a machine as well as for retrofitting. It is available in versions for three or four axes, and the optional expansions make it ready for all coordinate measuring technology applications and for video measuring microscopes. You can use it to measure two- and three-dimensional geometries and their relationships.
The IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK consists of the IK 5000 slot card for the PC as well as the additional necessary slot covers and the corresponding PC software. Once installed on your PC you will have a powerful measuring station.

Configuration Various versions of the IK 5000 are available. Please see the configuration table for the model designations and various functions supported.
The IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK screen shows various configurable windows and tool fields for clear and simple operation.The Part View window shows the measured features with the accepted measuring points. You can also define relationships here.In the Live View (only for versions with video evaluation) you can see a real-time display of the video image.The Template window lists all measured features, relationships and constructed features together with their values and tolerances in tables.The feature currently being measured is shown in the Feature Stamp window. The Results window contains all corresponding information.The DRO window shows you the current measuring position.
