Our patented 4-axis L-700 Spindle
Alignment System is a powerful alignment
tool that will help you to align boring mill,
cylindrical grinding, lathe and turning-
center applications up to 70% faster than
conventional or interferometer methods.
With a resolution of .00002" (.0005 mm),
live data output and large, color computer
graphics, the L-700 is the perfect tool to
align headstocks, spindles, sub-spindles
and tailstocks quickly
and accurately.
Turning Center
Alignment Simplified Even on Large
Lathes
The critical alignment of a lathe or other
turning-type machine is the parallelism of
the axis of rotation (AOR) of the spindle to the machine bed and alignment to the tailstock, sub-spindle, turret or tool
holder's AORs.
Conventional methods are very cumbersome and time consuming and are practically useless on large lathes. The L-700
vastly simplifies the task by inserting the laser right into the spindle chuck and the T-261 4-Axis Target into the sub-
spindle or tailstock. The laser is aligned to the spindle axis of rotation out to 100' (30.5 M). This becomes the reference
from which the ways, tool holder and tailstocks can be measured and aligned
using the T-261. The software displays a
live reading of the horizontal and vertical center (offset) readings and the horizontal and vertical angular (slope) readings
of the tailstock to the headstock.
Live Display of Misalignment Data in 10 minutes
The L-700 Spindle Alignment System is so easy to set up that
you can have a quick measurement of misalignment data in 10
minutes. The Windows-based software speeds setup and data
taking and even corrects for mechanical mounting errors!
As with all Hamar Laser products, the L-700 provides a live
display in four axes of misalignment data, which means you
can align the tailstock, sub-spindle, etc. while the laser is still
in the machine. This is especially useful for tailstock
alignment, as it requires 4-axis calibration (horizontal center
and angle and vertical center and angle).
