(Danbury CT) ― Hamar Laser Instruments, Inc., a world leader in laser alignment, introduces its unique new T-1295 and T-1296 5-Axis Multi-Purpose Scan & Spindle Targets and four new laser fixtures that transform its L-702SP 5-Axis Machine / Spindle Alignment System into a more affordable and even more capable and versatile alignment system that excels in a wide variety of applications.
“We have never believed in making a ‘one-size-fits-all’ laser system, as our competitors typically offer,” said Rod Hamar, President of Hamar Laser Instruments. “Instead, we have always strived at making the best laser we can for a specific application or group of applications, which is why our lasers are highly praised. Our new T-1295 and T-1296 5-Axis Targets, however, transform our L-702SP into that rare laser that does a great job for a wide variety of applications. Our first ‘combo’ laser, as we call it.”
Hamar Laser’s unique new T-1295 and T-1296 Targets offer Bluetooth-wireless communication and up to .00001 in. (0.25 µm) resolution. They are capable of aligning multiple machine axes in three measurement modes: 2-axis center, 2-axis angular and single-axis scanning. Expanding the capabilities of the L-702SP Laser, the targets work with Hamar Laser’s new MultiTurn10 Software and are ideal for many applications, including spindle alignments (center and angular); flatness, straightness and squareness of linear axes and guideways on boring mills, gantries, lathes, machining centers, multiturns and VTLs; injection molding machines; and flatness and straightness of surfaces. They are especially useful on hard-to-align multiturn machines. The T-1296 Target is a high-resolution version of the T-1295 Target for taking ultra-accurate straightness and pitch / yaw measurements.
The new fixture suite is comprised of four mounting fixtures made specifically for the L-702SP Laser and T-1295 and T-1296 Targets to aid in measuring hard-to-check axes on enclosed machining centers, boring mills and multiturns; and includes these fixtures:
- L-702MB Laser Magnetic Base Fixture
- L-702RA Right-Angle Laser / Target Spindle Fixture
- T-242 Target Straightness Measuring Base
- T-243 Target Flatness Measuring Base
