A new 2D Microgage from Pinpoint Laser Systems is for precision measuring, machine alignment, calibration and other industrial applications. Roll and web lines, CNC cutting and milling equipment, lathes and other production equipment are checked and aligned for improved operating efficiency and reduced downtime with using this system.
The two-axis system combines a compact laser transmitter with a receiver and digital display. As the laser moves across the receiver in a vertical or horizontal direction, the display provides a reading of the motion, accurate to 0.0001". This new system can operate over a distance of 100 ft. with a bright red beam that is quickly adaptable to many industrial applications. Several accessories allow for alignment of straightness, runout, parallelism, squareness, bore alignment, shaft alignment, flatness measuring and more.
The two-axis Microgage operates on batteries for added convenience and all components are machined of solid aluminum with a hard anodized coating for wear resistance. It also includes a carrying case to store the components and is easily carried right out onto the manufacturing floor.
