Laser is Hamar Laser’s most
versatile and powerful machine tool alignment laser. It has been
designed specifically for 3-5-axis machining centers to measure and
correct machine geometry. In most cases, all it takes is one setup to
measure flatness, straightness, parallelism and squareness of the main
axes of most typical machining centers.
Since the system provides live measurements, any errors that are
found can be fixed with the same setup. The laser mounts on a
machine or stable base so that the laser plane can project the
measurement reference out to 100 ft. (30.5 m) in radius for each laser
plane.
Applications:
(for alignments with tolerances of .00002 in/ft or 0.0017 mm/m or greater)
•
Machining centers (HBMs, VBMs, HMCs, VMCs,
VTLs, gantries and surface grinders)
•
Automotive transfer-line wing bases
•
Injection molding machines and presses
•
Aircraft assembly (seat track alignment, setting water, butt and station planes, wing-to-body and body-
to-body join alignment, etc.)
Roll parallelism in:
•
High-precision, laser and water-jet cutting machines
•
Paper mills
•
Film lines
•
Circuit board drilling machines
•
Printing presses
•
Blown-film lines
Measuring and aligning:
•
The flatness of almost any surface (squares, frames,
ways, flanges, circles, etc.)
•
The squareness of up to 3 surfaces
•
Measuring surfaces up to 200 ft. (61 m) long with
one setup
•
The parallelism of horizontal and vertical surfaces up
to 100 ft. (30.5 m) apart
•
Checking way twist and parallelism between
horizontal surfaces
•
The straightness of horizontal and vertical
surfaces
•
The straightness and flatness of
horizontally and vertically traversing axes
•
Checking plumb of a vertical surface up to
100 ft. (30.5 m)
•
Checking way twist and parallelism
between vertical surfaces
Warning!
Always operate the L-730 and L-740 series lasers described below in an upright position.
Do NOT invert!
