New Right Angle Attachment Solves Squareness and Parallel Machine Alignment Problems
January 2006, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Pinpoint Laser Systems®, Inc., is introducing a new, precision, machinery alignment kit for use in factories and manufacturing facilities. This new Right Angle Alignment Kit combines the popular Laser Microgage with a new 90-Line Optical Squaring attachment for checking the squareness and parallelism of machinery. These products are easy to set up and use allowing plant personnel to check and align their own manufacturing equipment when they need to. The Right Angle Kit is ideal for checking machine beds, vertical cutting machinery, roll parallelism, squaring slides and gantries, and measuring geometric parameters. Improving machinery alignment reduces downtime, cuts scrap rates, enhances production efficiency, and improves manufacturing profits.
The laser beam enters the 90-Line through a port in the front and exits out a side port at precisely 90 degrees to the incoming beam. Special internal optics allows operators to place the 90-Line anywhere along the laser path and establish precise right angle references. By rotating the front nosepiece, the right angle laser beam will swing through a full plane for checking the squareness of machine parts and surfaces, as shown in the photograph. The 90-Line can create multiple references and is well-suited for checking the parallelism of slides, rails, machine tracks, rollers, shafts, and other mechanical elements. The 90-Line is equipped with a precision rotary adjustment to steer the laser into machinery and facilitate adjustments. A two-axis positioner enables the operator to move the 90-Line precisely into alignment. The 90-Line is machined from solid aluminum with a hard anodized coating and stainless steel hardware for years of durable use.
The Laser Microgage and 90-Line are designed and manufactured in the U.S., and you will find them at work in factories, machine shops, shipbuilding yards, utility companies, roll mills, and printing and converting plants.
