New Microgage Kit for Checking & Aligning Production Equipment
February 2006, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Pinpoint is introducing a new Microgage Complete Alignment Kit to enable maintenance personnel and production teams to check and align their manufacturing equipment for improved operation and efficiency. Quick and precise measurements of machinery straightness, parallelism, surface flatness squareness, bore and shaft alignment and other applications are now possible with this versatile kit. The Microgage laser and digital receiver are easy and intuitive to use allowing you to quickly check your production machinery while reducing dependence on expensive outside alignment services. This new alignment kit is compact, precise and affordable so that manufacturers can keep their lines running at peak performance, and minimize costly down times.
The Microgage Complete Alignment Kit includes a laser transmitter and a digital receiver connected to a handheld display. Readings appear on a large LCD display and alignment units are presented in 0.001 or 0.0001 inch increments or in millimeters. A rotating base is included, for setting and checking flat planes such as machine beds, roller assemblies, sliding mechanical stages, and other planer equipment. A precise 90-degree beam bender is also included for squaring machinery, checking the vertical axis of machine tools, monitoring parallelism of rails, tracks and rollers, and much more. The kit also includes a heavy duty tripod for supporting the laser and several mounting fixtures for greater versatility on the plant floor. An interface cable connects the Microgage to a laptop or PC so that the operator can store readings and generate printouts. The entire Microgage kit fits into a compact, carrying case for easy storage and transport.
This Microgage Kit and all Pinpoint products are designed and manufactured here in the United States and may be found in manufacturing plants, shipbuilding, aircraft fabrication, semiconductor plants, steel mills, machine shop, and many other facilities.
