LaserLinc offers 16 different models of scanning laser micrometers for precise, non-contact measurement of outside diameter and ovality, also called roundness or eccentricity
Ovality
Eccentricity is sometimes used as a measure of the degree to which two forms share a common center, as in an insulated wire where the core (the wire) and the outer insulation do not share the same center. However, LaserLinc uses these terms to refer to a measure of how well the measured product conforms to a circle. LaserLinc uses the term concentricity as a measure of the degree to which two forms share a common center.. Manufacturers use these devices to improve quality and reduce waste.
Selecting the Best Micrometer
The operating principle of a scanning laser micrometer is explained and illustrated on this page.
Some key questions that must be answered in order to select the best micrometer 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?
Model Overview
Models are divided into groups based on the number of axes of measurement they provide: one, two, or three. Single-axis models measure the product from one angle. Multi-axis models yield a better measurement of average diameter. Triton™ triple-axis micrometers measure ovality accurately, regardless of product orientation. Mount two or more gauges together to provide four or six axes of measurement.
All models:
- Provide fast and accurate measurement using a laser-based, non-contact operating principle
- Are designed to operate reliably in harsh environments
- Can be mounted in any orientation
- Can measure any material, even clear and translucent products (glass logic
Glass Logic
Glass Logic uses specially designed hardware and software to properly measure objects even when laser light bleeds through them. Without this logic, unexpected bleed-thru would be treated as extra parts or debris in the measurement field and prevent a measurement from being made. This feature is included at no cost with all LaserLinc interfaces. is a software option included at no charge with all systems) - Are suitable for in-process or benchtop/offline applications
- Operate flawlessly regardless of line speed
- Can be used with the Total Vu™ HMI for complete product and process monitoring, reporting, and control
- Can be used with a SmartLinc™ processor for an intelligent interface via industrial communication protocols
- Are available with Ethernet-based NetLinc™ signal interface
- Are covered by an industry-leading FOUR-YEAR warranty that covers all parts and labor. For warranty details, including LaserLinc’s “spare-in-the-air” replacement offer, visit the Warranty and Service page.
Model numbers begin with the number of axes of measurement, followed by the approximate gate size in millimeters. The matrix below shows models by number of axes of measurement and approximate gate size.
