Original Press Release:
New Digital Measuring System Simplifies Factory Alignment
January, 2004, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Pinpoint Laser Systems is introducing two new digital Microgage receivers for improving machinery and equipment alignment right on the factory floor. These new receivers connect directly to the Microgage 2000 Display and can be used up to 80 feet from the laser source. Their exceptional accuracy of 0.0001 inch (0.003 mm) is ideal for checking machine tool runout, aligning rollers, spindle alignment, positioning shafts and gear drive systems, bore alignment, and other factory projects. This alignment system can be used by manufacturing employees, right on their own production lines, for checking alignment, improving manufacturing efficiency, reducing costly downtimes, and ultimately, saving money.
The Microgage 2000 works with a laser transmitter that projects a collimated laser reference beam that is captured by a receiver connected to a digital display. As the receiver moves, relative to the laser beam, the display provides a readout of the measurement. By moving the receiver to various locations, the surface or mechanical device can be measured, checked, and adjusted. The operator can change the measuring units and adjust functions, and the MG-2000 will connect to a laptop for recording readings, analysis, and generating reports.
By making the Microgage 2000 easy to use, compact, and affordable, it is a highly useful tool, suitable for many different manufacturing employees and a vast range of industrial projects. The Laser Microgage is manufactured in the United States by Pinpoint and is available directly from the manufacturer or through manufacturer's representatives.
