Contour Measuring System

CONTRACER CV-2100 Series

Catalog No.E15020(5)Functions are redesigned based on thorough analysis of all contour
measurement operations, enabling measurement that is fast, accurate,and surprisingly easy.

23New functions to reduce operator workload are actively pursued
and functions are blended to deliver a speed performance
unimaginable for a standard model.

Easy operation with X-axis jog shuttle

A quick-vertical-motion stand with remarkable operability

Outside: Coarse feed
Inside: Fine feed

Speed range: 0.02 - 20 mm/s

A jog shuttle covering a wide speed range is equipped as standard.
The drive unit can be moved easily to the measurement position by using
the jog shuttle.

HandleFine-feed knob

UpsideBottomThe quick-vertical-motion stand allows operators to swiftly and easily move the drive unit to andfrom the measurement height without having to push or pull.
Moreover, this stand is equipped with a stop for quick repositioning to the measurement height,
which ensures an easy and highly efficient measurement flow.

Centralized front control panel
Highly efficient measurement

The operation flow is significantly shortened by arranging the switches for stylus position change,measurement start/stop, and return on the front of the drive unit. These operations are required forevery single operation cycle. This centralized panel can therefore reduce the workload of operatorsand improve measurement efficiency.

4

By enabling faster X-axis movement and enhancing the stylus up/down functions, the drive unit
can return to the measurement start position after auto-displacement of the stylus. This is especially
useful when multi-location (multiple-unit) measurement is being executed by a part program.

The combination of high accuracy and excellent operability allows
flexible support of a wide range of measurement needs.

"Pursuing high accuracy is our mission"
Introducing a new highly accurate digital scale

X-axis inclination mechanism is a standard feature
The CV-2100 series* is equipped with a drive unit inclination mechanism that enables inclined-plane measurement without changing settings.

The detector unit (Z1 axis) is equipped with a highly accurate arc scale. This scale directly tracks the arc locus of the stylus tip so that the mostaccurate compensation can be applied to the scale output, which leads to higher accuracy and resolution.

* For CV-2100N4, a manual column stand No.218-042 (refer to P13) isrequired (optionally available.)

Measurement range of detector: 50 mm
Accuracy: ±(2.5+|0.1H|) μm*
Resolution: 0.1 μm (over entire measurement range)* H = Measurement height from horizontal position
within ±25 mm
Inclination angle (MAX): ±45 °(For CV-2100M4)

Easy setup for highly accurate and efficient measurement

A range of options available according to the application

The highly accurate digital arc scale not only improves measurement accuracy, but can also be set up easily.

Contour Analysis Software: FORMTRACEPAKFORMTRACEPAK functions offer total support for measurement system control, surface
roughness analysis, contour analysis, contour tolerancing, and inspection report creation.

Measurement control
To make only a single measurement, you can create a part programin the single mode. To measure multiple workpieces of an identicalshape, you can use the teaching mode.
Since you can embed the entire flow, from making measurement
to printing a report, into a part program, you can efficiently makemeasurements, analyze data, and output a report. A function is
also provided that enables you to insert comments accompaniedwith photographs at desired timings, enabling you to embed
the roles described in a measurement procedure document thatspecifies important points such as work settings.

Contour Analysis
Contour analysis function
A wide variety of commands, which form the basic
elements for analysis, are provided, including those forpoints (10 kinds), lines (6 kinds), and circles (6 kinds).
A rich set of commands that combine these elements
to calculate angles, pitches, and distances, a contour
tolerancing function, and a design value generation
function are also provided as standard features. These
functions, combined with the function that allows
you to customize the calculation command buttons byhiding less frequently used commands, let you tailor
the window according to the user environment.

Circle and line automatic determination function
Using the circle/line auto-fitting command, you can automaticallycalculate all circles and lines contained in the data without having
to click the command button each time.

Removal of abnormal points function

To make immediate measurements, you can use the pull-downmenu to easily select and call up the desired operating procedure.

Multiple language support (18 languages)

Text output of the calculation result and graphics data
You can output the calculation result as text (in csv or txt format),
output graphics data obtained from measurements as point-string
data to a text file or CAD file (in the DXF or IGES format), or copy
the data to the clipboard. Combined with commercial document
or statistical processing software, this feature can be used to sharedata with computers that do not have dedicated analysis software
installed or execute CAD-based reverse engineering.

You can switch the language* to be used in the measurement,
analysis, and layout windows.
After measurements have been made, you can switch to anotherlanguage and create a report in that language. This function canbe used worldwide.
* Supported languages: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Polish, Hungarian, Swedish, Czech, Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Thai.

Button-editing function

Online help function*

You can hide buttons that are not used frequently. For example,
you can choose to display only those buttons that are usedfrequently and increase the size of the displayed graphics window,
thereby customizing the window to suit your needs.

Online help that can be viewed any time is incorporated into thesoftware. In addition to index and keyword searches, a status
saving help button, which displays menus and Windows help witha click of the mouse, is provided.

Irregular defects in the data are filtered out from the calculation.
This function can effective when specifying the calculation range
for locations at which the boundary between circle and line isdifficult to determine.

Simple pitch calculation function
You can efficiently analyze the pitch between identical shapes,
such as a screw pitch or the distance between circles (center-tocenter pitch), by simply specifying the desired range using mouse
operations.

Contour-tolerancing function as a standard feature

Example of range specification for screw thread pitch withrectangular tool.

The best-fit processing function that moves the coordinate values of the design data and measurement data to the optimum positions
is provided as a standard feature. Measurement results can be displayed as graphics that show deviations of the measured contour fromnominal with the tolerance values expanded in each coordinate for easy comparison. Results can also be output as a text file, or utilized as
feedback data for machining systems.

* Online help function supports only Japanese and English.

Design value generation function
You can generate design data from CAD data (DXF or IGES file) or text data. Furthermore, since you can also convert
measurement data into design data, you can save parts data prior to use (testing) as design data and effectively utilize it
for checking the wear following use (testing).

Data combination function

Calculation command repetition setting

You can combine partial data collected separately from a workpiece (made necessary due to shape characteristics) into a single
graphic for convenient analysis.

When identical shapes have the same pitch, you can analyze all of
the shapes in a batch by specifying a single analysis location andthe pitch.

Data 1

Integrated layout
You can use simple operations to lay out graphics obtained from measurements as well as measurement results for surface roughness, contour, and roundness on a single page.
Furthermore, since the program now allows you to specify a saved file and paste it, you can easily
paste results from multiple files.
Note: The optional ROUNDPAK roundness/cylindricity analysis program is required.
		 For adaptable version, please contact your local Mitutoyo sales office.

Data 2

Data combine

Best-fit processing function for measurement
point strings
This function tries to fit the measurement points to the storedreference data on the same coordinate system. It can eliminate theeffects of a shift that may occur when setting the workpiece during
automatic analysis.

Data superimposition command
You can superimpose two sets of data by detecting their characteristic points. Use the mouse to drag and move the measurement
point strings to the desired positions to be superimposed.

Element information bar

Element insertion bar

This bar displays the attribute values of the pasted items, allowing you
to easily check the contents of the pasted measurement data files.

Using the mouse to drag and drop the analysis content displayed in
the element insertion bar, you can paste it into the layout. From thecontour analysis result, you can also select the analysis result for acircle or line alone and paste it in position.

System layout printing
By simply selecting the items to be output, you can automatically lay
out the page to be printed.
Use this feature when you wish to simplify the printing task.

10

Saving the result as a web page
Since you can save the result in html or mhtml format, which canbe displayed using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word, you cancheck the result even on a PC on which no layout-editing program isinstalled.
