Two Axis Laser Microgage Brings New Capability To Industry
October 2002, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Pinpoint Laser Systems is introducing a unique new 2-dimensional Laser Microgage for precision measuring and machine alignment. Delivering a precision of 0.001 inch, the Microgage 2D can be used for measuring in two axial directions at the same time -- even when the distance between the laser and the receiver varies by a much as 70 feet or more. For customers aligning machinery, adjusting fixtures, checking runout, checking large parts, and setting rolls and shafts, the Microgage 2D will provide a precise measurement in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
The Microgage 2D is ideal for use in paper and rolled steel mills, wire forming operations, machinery rebuilding, automotive and aircraft assembly, and shipbuilding. The ease of use and versatility of the Microgage 2D will simplify traditionally cumbersome measurements and alignment tasks, while bringing new possibilities to industrial professionals.
The Microgage 2D consists of a laser transmitter, projecting a beam of visible laser light, and a compact, square receiver that is moved to various measuring areas and captures the laser light for the measurement. The processing unit provides measurement readings in X and Y axes and offers controls for zeroing the readings. The Microgage 2D operates on batteries or a power supply for convenience on the plant floor. An RS232 interface also provides data for PCs and laptops and includes Pinpoint's versatile Pinpoint Capture Software to collect and analyze data. The Microgage 2D is machined of solid aluminum and covered with a hard, anodized coating for years of reliable use. The kit also includes a sturdy carrying case, complete operations manual, free technical support, and one year warranty.
