Product News: LaserLinc Introduces the TLAser130s Laser Micrometer

(LaserLinc: Fairborn, OH) -- LaserLinc Inc., a manufacturer of noncontact, precision measurement systems, announces the release of a new laser scan micrometer, the TLAser130s.

The TLAser130s is a compact, high-speed, single-axis model for wire, centerless ground parts, multistrand measurement such as monofilament, and many other processes. Its noncontact, high-speed scanning is especially useful for flaw detection in small extruded products. 

With its accuracy rating of up to ±0.00004 in., the TLAser130s is ideal for measuring diameter, detecting short defects, or profiling parts. It operates at a rate of 1,600 measurements per second standard with an option of 4,000 scans per second. The TLAser130s features a separate transmitter and receiver, similar to the TLAser122s, TLAser160s, and TLAser1120s. Its 30 mm measurement window fills an important niche between the TLAser160s (60 mm measurement window) and the smaller TLAser122s (22 mm measurement window). The separate transmitter/receiver gives the unit versatility for products that require more horizontal room for measuring or more space below the scanner.

As with all LaserLinc scanners, the TLAser130s links—via the TLAser400 micrometer interface card—to a PC running Total Vu software. Total Vu software is LaserLinc’s sophisticated, yet operator-friendly, measurement/data processing package, which runs on any Windows-based PC, providing in-process tolerance checking, trending, SPC, feedback control, data logging, recipes, and other features.
