4.2 Menu structure
Menu Description
1 / 6 Manual Mode for manual measurements
2 / 6 Machine
Machine mode for automatic measurement (recommended measurement
method)
The measurement starts and stops automatically if the press beam is
moving faster than the set speed threshold.
3 / 6 MachineS
Machine mode for automatic measurement.
The measurement operation is started even if the press beam moves
only slightly. The mode is used for:
● Hydraulic machines without laser protective devices
● Electric machines that do not have a clear jerk at the beginning of
their movement or that move with only short press beam strokes.
4 / 6 MachineE Similar to 3 / 6 MachineS, but with longer measurement duration

5 Operation and handling
5.1 General instructions
Caution
Damage to property due to severe vibrations
Severe vibrations of the device (e.g. if the device drops to the ground) may
damage the electronics and the precision measurement unit or destroy the
device.
In any case, verification of the measurement results is required afterward,
e.g. using a reference angle.
If the device is damaged, the device must no longer be used and must be
sent to our service partner for repair.
Caution
Condensation of humidity in the device
● Do not expose the device to high humidity for an extended period of
time.
● If a cold device is brought into a significantly warmer environment (e.g.
after extended transport in a cold environment), condensation moisture
may form in the device.
Before using the device, you must wait until the temperature of the de-
vice is the same as the room temperature and the moisture has evapo-
rated.
The materials and surfaces of measured objects used in practice are highly
varied, meaning that the manufacturer cannot make exhaustive suitability
specifications despite extensive test series. Therefore, before carrying out
qualified measurements, the user must check for suitability and sufficient ac-
curacy of the measured object for the specific purpose in combination with
the respective materials and usage conditions.
For practical use of the measurement device, be aware that the surfaces of
the workpiece scanned by the laser along with its respective reflective prop-
erties form a functional part of the overall measurement system and thus in-
fluence the actually achievable accuracy. The achievable accuracy is also
affected by proper handling of the measurement device as well as by the en-
vironmental conditions; also refer to Chapter "Technical data".
The following items can have an influence on measurement precision and
repeat accuracy and must be observed:
●Alignment of the device with the workpiece: The longitudinal axis of
the housing of KeMes A100 must be aligned parallel to the bending
edge and tilted as little as possible in order to be symmetrical between

A100Operation and handling
Operating instructions V1.01

the two legs of the workpiece. Observe a minimum distance of 20 mm
between the mirror and the workpiece surface. The measured distance
to both legs should be equal if possible.
●Poor planarity: Unevenness on the surface of the leg being measured
must be prevented.
●Non-homogeneity of the reflective properties: Different, reflective
properties of the legs being measured on the test specimen (e.g. soiling,
scratches, coating, discoloration, oils, welding chips, patches of corro-
sion, etc.) must be prevented. If necessary, the test piece must be
cleaned, or the selection of the measurement field must be changed.
●Soiling: Soiling on mirror and lens of the device must be prevented.
●Vibrations: If a measurement takes place on a machine, the legs of thin
sheets have the tendency to vibrate or reverberate when relaxing. Make
sure that the sheet metal legs do not vibrate during the measurement
operation.
●Unrelaxed angle: When measuring at the machine, make sure that the
bending tool has been lifted sufficiently and the legs of the angle are re-
laxed. The setting of the press brake for decompression must be ad-
justed as necessary.
●Deformations due to gravity: In case of thin sheets with legs of equal
length, elastic deformation can be caused by its own weight, depending
on the position of the sheet, therefore changing the angle compared to
an unloaded state.
●External magnetic fields: Make sure there are no generators of mag-
netic fields (e.g. electric drives) within a distance of 10 cm.
●Strong external light sources: There should be no light sources (e.g.
infrared lamps, other laser devices, strong reflections of the own laser
beam and high-frequency LED lightings) in the surrounding area of the
device.
●Condensation: Condensation on the surface of, e.g. test piece, lens,
mirror must be prevented. Slow adjustment to the ambient temperature
is necessary.
KeMes A100 is designed for reflecting metal surfaces such as:
● Metal sheets (e.g. aluminum, steel and stainless steel (cold-rolled or
descaled))
● Galvanized sheets
● Sheets with protective foil
The following material surfaces can be measured using KeMes A100 with
limited accuracy only:
● Scaled sheets
● Electrolytically galvanized sheets
● Painted sheets
● Enameled sheets

A100 Operation and handling
Operating instructions V1.01 19

Normally, the following material surfaces cannot be measured using KeMes
A100:
● Dirty or corroded sheets
● Sheets with mechanical surface treatment
● Highly reflective sheets (glassy surfaces)
● Heavily scaled sheets
5.2 Selection menu on the display
KeMes A100 has a selection menu on the display. During operation, the cur-
rent status is shown on the display. The operating button can be used to
navigate the menu.
