Where to place Prism for calibration of small machines

Example of Prism location for small Machines

Ensure that the prism is installed in a location where it can be easily targeted from three different positions, approximately 120° apart. The angles do not need to be exact.

Also, ensure that the distance from the prism radius (measured point) to the radius of both antennas, measured relative to the Machine center (Swing center), is greater than the value calculated using the formula below.

Calibration for swing flat surface

Ideally, measurements should be taken at three points approximately 120° apart.

The larger the area enclosed by the triangle formed by the three measurement points, the smaller the potential measurement error. Therefore, a larger measurement triangle improves the accuracy of the calculated swing flat surface.
