Laser Micrometers

LaserLinc understands how critical your in-process and off-line measurements are. Our laser micrometres are ideal for measuring outside diameter, ovality, wall thickness, concentricity, profile and more. They reduce material usage, increase production efficiency, reduce scrap, improve your process and product quality, and document product quality.

Selecting the Best Laser Micrometre

Some key questions that must be answered in order to select the best micrometre for your application:

  • What is the shape or profile of the product: round, rectangular, hexagonal, or other?
  • What are the smallest and largest diameters (or dimensions) you need to measure?
  • If your product is supposed to be round, do you need to know when it is not round?
  • How often do you need to check the dimension(s)?
  • What are the most stringent engineering tolerances on the products you are measuring?

Triton™ Triple-Axis Laser Micrometres

Our triple-axis laser micrometres measure products from three directions, precisely calculating product diameter, ovality, and position. These three axes of measurement are coplanar and separated by 60 degrees from each other, and the measurement field is perpendicular to the product.

Triton-series micrometres provide the best average diameter, ovality measurement regardless of product orientation, and are most capable of detecting defects.

Dual-Axis Laser Micrometres

Our dual-axis laser micrometres measure products from two directions, precisely calculating product diameter, ovality, and position. These two axes of measurement are coplanar and perpendicular to each other, and the measurement field is perpendicular to the product.

Dual-axis micrometres provide a good average diameter, ovality measurement, and are capable of detecting defects which do not encircle the product.

Single-Axis Laser Micrometres

Our single-axis laser micrometres measure product diameter and position from a single direction. Single-axis measurement offers the most application and installation flexibility.

Single-axis micrometres have the most flexible mounting options and can also be used for measurements that dual-axis and Triton micrometres cannot make.

Accessories

LaserLinc offers a range of optional accessories to help you get the most out of your laser micrometres. These accessories simplify installation and use, optimise performance, and extend the operating life of your micrometre.

Operating Principle

A scanning laser micrometre uses a rotating optical element to reflect or retract a laser beam through a measurement area and across the path of an object. The part obstructs the laser light, creating a shadow that persists for a time proportional to the size of the part.

Interfaces

The NetLinc™ interface uses a standard Ethernet connection to transfer micrometre data to the host processor. This seamless communication provides many advantages.
