NEW MICROGAGE TRANSPARENT RECEIVER SOLVES ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS
Pinpoint Laser Systems introduces a new transparent Microgage 2D receiver that will be used for aligning production machinery and equipment. A narrow laser beam provides a measuring reference line and the new transparent receiver determines the position of a machine or sub-assembly relative to the laser beam. This new receiver will operate over distances of 100 ft and deliver measuring precision of less than 0.0005 in, ideal for demanding industrial alignment applications. The Microgage system and this newest transparent receiver are well suited for lathe and spindle alignment, checking machine tool runout, roll and web alignment, precision bore alignment and much more.
