1. Description
The Alignment Calibration System ACS 1000 is
used to measure, data logging and calibrate the
alignment between machine table and machine
stand through a wire. With the opto electronic
sensor the deviation of the wire can be measured
and analysed without contact. The integrated
distance measuring system allows a compensation
of the length, therefore, an exact adjustment of the
wire is not required.

8. Measuring procedure
To receive an exact measurement, the following
steps need to be followed:
•mount the ACS-1000 and arrange
•span the wire and arrange
•compensate the height
•compensate the length
8.1 Installation and arrangement
8.1.1 Installation
For installation we recommend the clamping set for
uneven surfaces or the magnet set for even,
magnetic surfaces.

Betriebsanleitung ACS-1000 Rev. 1.0 - 08/12 Hubitron Steuerungstechnik
Hubitron Steuerungstechnik, Hauptstr. 4/1, D-89611 Obermarchtal, Tel. [phone], FAX [phone] Seite 5 von 14
The ACS-1000 must be mounted level on the
machine slide. Best, check the levelness with a
mason’s level.
8.1.2 Arrangement
•delete compensation data:
switch on the unit
main menu - - -
•activate laser:
in the main menu push
•position machine at the left outer stop
•set up reflection area (i.e. white sheet of paper
DIN A4)
•position machine at the right outer stop
•arrange ACS-1000 that the laser beam remains
within the reflection area
A sideways deviation can be corrected by turning
the ACS-1000 on the mounting plate. The 4 screws
underneath the housing blinds have to be loosened
with the provided pin spanner SW4.
8.2 Wire spanning and arranging
For measuring we recommend an erode wire with a
diameter of 0.2 to 0.3 mm.
•fix the wire on both machine ends in about the
same height
•position machine slide that the wire runs through
the sensor head and a value within ± 1 mm is
displayed
The measuring range of the sensor head lays in the
bottom quarter:
•set display data to 0 ( )

•position machine slide on the left outer stop
•adjust wire sideways until the deviation is
< 1mm
8.3 Height compensation
In order to avoid a measurement mistake through
the wire slag, a compensation of the height is
absolutely required.
•start height compensation:
main menu - -
follow the instructions on the display
•arrange machine slide that the wire is in the
center and is displayed
•confirm with
ATTENTION:
Now do not move the Z axis anymore!
•move machine slide up until
H = +4.5 mm and is displayed
•confirm with
NOTE:
Is the deviation larger 0.1 mm, the incline of the
sensor head must be corrected with the knurled
screw (see 8.3.1). The compensation starts
automatically again at the beginning.
•move machine slide down until
H = -4.5 mm and is displayed
•confirm with
NOTE:
Is the deviation larger 0.1 mm, the incline of the
sensor head must be corrected with the knurled
screw (see 8.3.1). The compensation starts
automatically again at the beginning.
8.3.1 Adjustment of incline
When doing the height compensation it is possibly
necessary to adjust the incline of the sensor head.
To adjust use the knurled screw.
One turn of the knurled screw changes the incline by
appr. 0.025 mm at a height of 4.5 mm.

8.4 Length compensation
So the wire has not to be exactly aligned on both
sides, you can compensate the wire deviation
through the length.
•start length compensation:
main menu - -
follow the instruction on the display
•position machine slide on the left side
•the sideways deviation can be max. 0.1 mm. If
necessary correct the Z axis until is
displayed
•confirm with
•position machine slide on the right side
NOTE:
Is the sideways deviation larger 1 mm, the position
of the wire must be corrected. The compensation
starts automatically again at the beginning.
•confirm with
8.4.1 Delete compensation data
Is the length compensation not needed, the last
compensation data must be deleted:
•start length compensation:
main menu - -
•delete data with
8.5 Start measurements
Is the ACS-1000 arranged and compensated the
measuring can start:
•start measuring: main menu -
•position machine slide to the left
•adjust machine slide that the wire is located at a
height of appr. 4 mm and a deviation < 0.1 mm
•set display data to 0 ( )
•measure machine at different length positions
(i.e. 0.5 m spacing)
9. Additional settings
9.1 Change language
The languages German and English are available:

10. Error solutions
Error possible cause solution
display:"no wire!" - wire outside measuring range
- incidence of extraneous light
- wire too thin
- wire slag too big
check and correct wire position
use black light protector cap
use wire with 0.2 – 0.3 mm Ø
adjust wire tension
blinking accu nearly empty charge accu
no radio connection to
the ACS-1000 RC ID is not matching with the ACS-1000 check and change ID
no display of length
position - out of range
- reflection area too dark
- too much foreign light on the reflection area
- sight glas dirty
divide measurements in sections
use brighter reflector (white)
install light protectors (i.e. window blinds)
clean sight glass
measured values not
plausible - incidence of extraneous light
- system not compensated
- too much dirt on sensor head
- system focus out of alignment
- accu is loading
use provided black light protector cap
run compensation
send unit for service
check position of machine slide
(see chapter 8.5)
during the loading process there are
larger voltage fluctuations, which can
distort the measurements
display remains dark - accu empty or defect
- fuse defect
- unit defect
charge accu resp. have accu changed
change fuse (chapter 12.1)
send unit for service
display non-readable altered contrast Readjust contrast
11. Activity to avoid interruptions
1. If the unit is not in use cover the sensor head
with the red protector cap to minimize pollution
2. During operation cover the sensor head with
the black protector cap to avoid strong
exposure to light and pollution
3. During measurements protect the ACS-1000
from exposure to direct solar radiation and high
temperature fluctuations
4. For safekeeping store the ACS-1000 in the
provided transport case when not used
