Precision Laser Solves Machinery Alignment Problems
March 2007, Newburyport, Massachusetts: Pinpoint Laser Systems is introducing a new, precision, machinery alignment kit for use in factories and manufacturing facilities for parallelism. This New Dual-Axis Alignment kit includes a new laser squaring attachment called the 90-Line for checking machine beds, vertical cutting machinery, roll parallelism, squaring slides and gantries, and measuring geometric parameters. The kit and the 90-Line are compact, easy to set-up, and highly versatile for use in many industries. Customers have used the 90-Line in shipbuilding applications, aligning rollers on converting and laminating lines, positioning parallel rails for precision slides, and checking milling and cutting tools.
The laser beam enters the 90-Line through a port in the front and exits out a side port at precisely 90 degrees to the incoming beam. Special internal optics allows operators to place the 90-Line anywhere along the laser path and establish precise right angle references. By rotating the front nosepiece, the right angle laser beam will swing through a full plane for checking the squareness of machine parts and surfaces, as shown in the photograph. The 90-Line can create multiple references and is well-suited for checking the parallelism of slides, rails, machine tracks, rollers, shafts, and other mechanical elements. The 90-Line has a locking mechanism for pre-set positions and a friction lock to hold the beam in place. The housing is machined from solid aluminum with a hard anodized coating and many threaded points allow for quick and easy mounting.
The Laser Microgage and 90-Line are designed and manufactured in the U.S., and you will find them at work in factories, machine shops, shipbuilding yards, utility companies, roll mills, and printing and converting plants.
