Laser Microgage 2000
Single-axis laser measuring and alignment in a versatile, easy to use affordable package
The Microgage 2000 can be adapted to a wide variety of industrial alignment and measuring needs. The laser transmitter projects a thin line of laser light to a digital receiver and a display for measuring displacement. Measurements as small as 0.0001 inch are displayed and the laser and receiver can be separated from by as much as 120 feet for large industrial projects.

How It Works
The Microgage 2000 has three key components, a laser transmitter, a digital receiver, and a display. The laser housing is machined with a flat base and sides and a variety of mounting points. A collimated laser beam is projected from the end of the laser housing and is parallel to the base and sides of the housing. An electronic receiver picks up the laser beam and provides a digital readout showing the position of the laser beam on the receiver. If the laser transmitter and receiver are resting on a flat surface, the display will read zero. If the transmitter or the receiver is then raised off the surface, the differential position will then be displayed. Combining the laser and receiver with various optics and mounting accessories allows the Microgage to measure all sorts of alignment parameters.
The 2000 Laser Kit begins with a basic kit that is compact, versatile and easy to use. Adding various accessories and attachments expands the capabilities of the 2000 Laser Kit to address virtually any industrial measuring and alignment application.
