  The basic HP 5526A and the
original model HP 5525 Laser measurement systems are comprised of a laser head and display
plus optics for various different types of measurements. For a basic system description
please read the Operator's Handbook. Automation
accessories were based on the HP 9825 calculator. A
program package for laser metrology using the HP5526A/9825A/9872A combination was provided
with the calculator option (see below). Several Application Notes were published to
support laser metrology, including 156-2, "Calibration of a Surface Plate", and
156-5, "Measurement of Straightness of Travel". These are the only two
that I have. I would like very much to obtain the others, particularly one titled
"Calibration of a Machine Tool" (if memory serves). I also would like to
obtain original service manuals for the 5505A display/5500C laser head and 5510 Automatic
Compensator. Another accessory I need is the remote control box, which
contains a reset button, alignment meter and print button, connected to the 5505A display
by a long cable. I received a request for the Compensation Factor Handbook, which I
scanned into a 6 MB pdf format (available on request). I also have written a small
spreadsheet using the formulae given in the handbook to calculate the compensation
thumbwheel setting. Click here for available documentation.
