The RTA system

Measuring accuracy

With the RTA all objects can be visualised perfectly thanks to the premium optics. Together with the high-performance
measuring software you get a perfect duo. However, which measuring accuracy do you have when carrying out your
measuring processes?

The RTA allows touchless measuring by means of the optics. This means, you are carrying out the desired measuring
process with the enclosed visualising and measuring software.

If you want to determine, for example, the kerf of a saw blade, mark the tooth on both ends with your mouse. The soft-
ware now calculates the distance by means of the topical zoom level.

This example shows: An important factor regarding the measuring accuracy refers to the operator of the measuring
software. The measuring result can only be as accurate as the tooth ends are being marked with the mouse. The soft-
ware does support you with a helpful Zoombox – the required point can thus be marked easily.

In short: The more accurately the points are marked, the more precise will the result be. This is true for any manual
optical measuring process. And thus also for the RTA.

Apart from this aspect the resolution of the camera is just as important for the measuring accuracy. The higher the re-
solution, the more accurate will measuring be. The Advanced Set is therefore offering a clear advantage compared to
the Basic Set. With the advanced package your benefit not only includes the higher resolution, but also the automatic
magnification transfer of the optics. It transfers the current zoom level in deci-steps automatically to the software and
thereby offers even more precise measuring on the tool.

As a rule of thumb: With the RTA measuring processes with a tolerance within the lower deci-range can be carried out.
This is a very good value for everyday measuring requirements with tools that are to be re-ground and in most cases
more than sufficient. The Advanced Set offers even higher precision: with this version the tolerance can be reduced to
some hundredths if the measuring points are marked accurately.
