BlueTC
The BlueTC with or without radio transmission was developed as an alternative interface to the BlueMETER SIGMA and BlueMETER BASIC for using the BlueLEVEL and BlueLEVEL BASIC inclination measuring instruments.
It is possible to send measured data via an RS232/485 port to a printer, a PC/laptop or the WYLER software wylerSPEC, wylerDYNAM or to other software such as LabEXCEL.
Advantage compared to the BlueMETER SIGMA/BlueMETER BASIC connected to BlueLEVEL/BlueLEVEL BASIC instruments are:
- Simple configuration; BlueTC is only an interface between instruments and PC / laptop
- Cost effectiveness (in case of wireless data transmission)
Disadvantage compared to the BlueMETER SIGMA/BlueMETER BASIC connected to BlueLEVEL or BlueLEVEL BASIC instruments are:
- No display of the measured values of the connected instruments [A] and [B]
- Menu less extensive and less comfortable due to missing display

Configuration with two or more BlueTCs, connected to ZEROTRONIC sensors and to a PC / laptop whereas the BlueTC works as an interface, and with radio transmission: Up to a total of 16 wireless units can be connected via Bluetooth, whereas the HOST BlueTC and each REMOTE BlueTC count as one unit. Up to 7 sensors can be read in simultaneously.
Regarding the configuration set-up of the sensors, there is only the limitation that the total number of units connected may not exceed 64, whereas the HOST BlueTC, each REMOTE BlueTC and each sensor count as one unit.

MACHINE TOOLS / ROTATION CHECKS
Measuring task / Goal:
A machine tool must be checked on possible geometrical deviations. The check must show up eventual rotations of the table during displacement. The measurement of geometry should be made in a quick, reliable and simple procedure and thus with a good cost-benefit effect.

PRINTING INDUSTRY / ADJUSTMENT OF STANDS AND PRINTING CYLINDERS
Measuring task / Goal:
Each single colour unit provides horizontal and/or vertical reference faces which must be used during the manufacturing process in the production plant as well as for the adjustment of the printing line. The positions of the reference faces must be adjusted in accordance to each other, measured, and a record must be printed. The positions of the printing cylinders must be precisely aligned to each other (horizontally).
POWER SUPPLY SECTOR / ALIGNMENT OF LARGE PUMP SHAFTS
Measuring task / Goal:
- The horizontal positions of the connecting lines between the bearing faces on the bearing ring for the stator must be checked. The flatness and the fully horizontal position of the bearing ring must be assured.
- The pump housing, one floor below, disposing of a round reference face must also be adjusted fully horizontally
The centre points of the pump shaft and the drive shaft of the motor must be aligned to each other in order to assure that the transmission shaft flanged in between can work free of any bending moment.
MACHINE TOOLS / SPINDLE ALIGNMENT
Measuring task / Goal:
The deviation from the right angle between the two working positions „horizontal“ and „vertical“ must be determined.
This measurement is required during the assembly, the error correction by scraping when the unit is mounted on a temporary frame with doubtful stiffness as well as during the final inspection of the ready mounted machine tool.
The measuring uncertainty must not exceed two seconds of arc. Calculations involved must be possible without the aid of a computer.
MEASUREMENT OF THE FLATNESS IN AN OVEN WITH LIMITED HEIGHT
Measuring task / Goal:
Flatness measurement of the plates in the oven with precision inclination measurement instruments in spite of the limited space available.
ALIGNMENT OF AN INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE WITH WIRELESS INCLINATION SENSORS
Measuring task / Goal:
The customer is searching for a more efficient solution for this process during in-house commissioning as well as for the commissioning at the customers premises. If possible the adjustment should be done by one single technician. To assure that no instrument is accidentally pulled down, a wireless solution is to be favoured.
POSITIONING OF A HEAVY PART WITH AN OVERHEAD CRANE
Measuring task / Goal:
In order to achieve the required accuracy the bending of the building respectively of the overhead crane should be measured. With the resulting values the vertical correction of the crane should be calculated .
ADJUSTMENT OF A CEMENT OVEN DRIVE
Measuring task / Goal:
The inclination of the cement oven drive gear wheel (diameter approx. 1.5 m) has to be exactly the same as the inclination of the turn-tube oven gear wheel (diameter approx. 6 m). The required accuracy is 0.01° ≙ 0.2 mm/m.
VERTICAL ALIGNMENT OF MEASURING PROBES ON A STRAIGHTENING MACHINE
Measuring task / Goal:
All 3 probes have to be in an absolute vertical position. The acceptable tolerance for this measuring task is ±0.04 mm/m. In order to achieve this, the probes have to be adjusted vertically in both axis.
Note: this adjustment is only required after an exchange of the probes.
MEASUREMENT OF A CIRCLE ON A ROUND TABLE OF A GRINDING MACHINE
Measuring task / Goal:
The flatness of a rotating table of a grinding machine with a diameter of
3200 mm has to be measured. Thereby only the flatness of a circle has to be measured and not the whole table.
MEASUREMENT OF PITCH AND ROLL ON A GRINDING MACHINE
Measuring task / Goal:
On a large surface grinding machine with guide ways with a length of 18m and a distance of 1.3 m pitch and roll have to be checked regularly. The maximum tolerance is 0.1 mm/m.
MEASUREMENT OF THE RECTANGULARITY OF THE HEAD OF A ROUND TABLE GRINDING MACHINE
Measuring task / Goal:
The rectangularity of the axis of a grinding head of large grinding machine in relation to the support of a round table with a diameter of 3200 mm has to be measured. Based on the results the inclination of the head has to be adjusted.
ALIGNMENT OF THE HOLES OF FLANGES

The requirements in railway construction are increasing continuously. Especially high speed tracks put very high demands on track geometry and therefore on track construction. A tamping machine requires exact information about condition and position of the track ahead in order to be able to work precisely and efficiently.
