If you open the CAD model of the NVC50/Speetec, you will notice the two crossed lines that indicate the two laser beams.
In this view, however, it is not possible to see where the outlets of these laser beams are located on the Speetec neither what their dimensions are.
In order to visualize this, the laser beams were extended to the surface of the Speetec housing in the CAD model.
In the next step, a new coordinate system is inserted to determine the exact position of the laser beams.
The Z-axis is on the same surface as the viewing window of the laser modules. The Y-axis is again on the surface where the 2 M3 threaded holes are located. See also the picture after next.
Where the Z-axis and the Y-axis intersect, the X-axis also runs along the long side of the Speetec.
The tool zero point (TZP) was placed in the center of the Speetec. Therefore, the Z-axis and the Y-axis also run in the center of the speetec.
In the following two pictures you can see that the two laser beams are offset by 1mm. The left laserpoint is 22.5mm from the tool zero point, the right laserpoint 21.5mm, both in z-axis.
Both are 28.7mm in x-axis from the tool zero point. The diameter of the laser beam is around 0.4mm.
The laser beams fall towards each other at an angle of 60°, so each laser beam falls out of the housing at an angle of another 60° to the flat surface.
