(Pinpoint Laser Systems: Peabody, MA) -- Pinpoint Laser Systems is introducing the “Transparent” Receiver to the Microgage 2-D family. This receiver allows a laser beam to pass clearly through it while making a precise position measurement for aligning machinery and equipment. It was introduced last fall has since been improved. The receiver is compact and will fit into small places for bore alignment, checking extruder barrels, shaft bearings and much more. Both receivers and the host Laser Microgage 2-D are versatile and can be adapted to many industrial measuring and alignment tasks.

The method of operation is simple—a narrow laser beam provides a measuring reference line and these receivers determine the position of a machine or sub-assembly relative to this laser reference beam. These new receivers will operate over distances of 100 feet or more and deliver a measuring precision of 0.0005 in., ideal for demanding industrial alignment applications. The Laser Microgage system and these newest receiver additions are well suited for lathe and spindle alignment, checking machine tool runout, roll and web alignment, precision bore alignment and much more. The Microgage 2-D is easy to use with instructions that show up on the display, guiding the operator through their alignment project. Several simple accessories allow for alignment of straightness, runout, parallelism, squareness, roll and web alignment, shaft and bore alignment, flatness measuring and much more.

The 2 Axis Laser Microgage operates on batteries for added convenience and all components are machined of solid aluminum with a hard anodized coating for wear resistance. A sealed push button keypad and large LCD display make the Microgage 2-D easy and convenient to use in demanding industrial environments. A serial and USB interface connect to a laptop or PC and can link to popular spreadsheets for plotting and analyzing data for maintenance records, customer compliance, and other uses. This Microgage system includes a compact carrying case to store the components and is easily carried onto the manufacturing floor.
