4. QUICK OPERATION GUIDE
4.1
Measuring system The measuring system consists of light sensitive
cells (CCD arrays) used for image analysis of the
workpiece being measured.
The workpiece is first illuminated, and then scanned
using a parallel (collimated) green light from the op-
tics, which is moved by means of a DC servomotor
coupled with a belt drive. The movements of the car-
riage are controlled through the incremental
glass scale.
Long term accuracy is assured by the use of a setting
master provided with the system for its calibration
at start up. This feature is stored into the machine,
near the headstock.
4.2
Getting started • Ensure that all electrical connections are made,
and that there’s no CD in the CD-ROM drive.
• Turn the power ON by means of the switch located
on the front face of the machine.
• Shut the PC and the monitor up.
The system runs a series of self-tests, and then
starts loading the Windows 10 Professional opera-
ting system. Once Windows has initialised, the SYL-
VAC-REFLEX+ Scan icon appears on the desktop.
Double click this icon to let the application be loaded
and get the tool bars ready for use once entirely
loaded.
Note
Should you get an error message, write it down,
switch off (doing so, pay a special attention to the
options of the shutting down windows, if any), wait
at least 15 seconds before switching on again. If
the problem persists, contact the Help service of
the supplier for assistance.
4.3
Calibrating
the machine
Before starting measuring, the machine needs to be
calibrated for SYLVAC-REFLEX+ Scan and the peri-
pheral devices to be booted up. To have this done,
press the REFLEX-Click button on the front face of
the machine. A message prompts you to start the
calibration process. Validate this on-screen prompt.
Once the system has boot up, the programme esta-
blishes the references on the incremental glass
scale. Next, the functions of the CCD arrays are
checked and the machine calibrated.
As soon as all operations are completed, display
shows Successful Calibration below the menubased
icons.
In the event the calibration failed, re-start the whole
process. Successive failures tell the operator that
there are fatal errors causing the measuring system
or the peripheral device to abort.
