Laser Microgage 2D
Two dimensional laser measuring and alignment in an easy to use, versatile, and affordable package
The Microgage 2D laser alignment tool can be adapted to a wide variety of industrial measuring and alignment requirements. Each receiver measures in two axial directions (X & Y) and can be used for checking straightness, flatness, parallelism, squareness, bores, spindles, and other alignment needs. Measurements as small as 0.0001 inch are shown on a large, easy to use, display and the laser and receiver can be separated by a few inches up to 150 feet for large industrial projects.

Overview
How It Works
The Microgage 2D laser alignment tool has three key components, a laser transmitter, a digital receiver, and a display. The laser and receiver housings are machined with a flat base and sides and a variety of mounting points. A highly collimated, low power laser beam is projected from the end of the laser housing and is parallel to the base and sides of the housing. The electronic receiver picks up the laser beam and provides a digital readout showing the height and lateral position of the laser beam. If the laser transmitter and receiver are resting on a common flat surface, the display will read zero. If the transmitter or the receiver is then raised off the surface, or moved side to side, the differential position will then be displayed. Combining the laser and receiver with various optics and mounting accessories allows the Microgage laser alignment tool to measure all sorts of alignment parameters.
The Microgage 2D begins with a basic kit that is compact, versatile and easy to use. Adding various accessories and attachments expands the capabilities of the Microgage 2D to address virtually any industrial measuring and alignment application.
