appendix section on Lasercheck Alignment Principles and Procedures). Either the surface will move under the
gage or the gage will be moved over the surface. In either case, alignment must be maintained during relative
motion. An air knife can be used prior to the gage to clean coolant etc. from surfaces to be inspected if
necessary. “Start” and “Stop” sensors or inputs should be positioned to be activated when the gage is positioned
to measure at the start of the process and at the stop of the process. Both of these sensors should be wired to
the “Input” connector on the back of the control box as described in the Appendix – Input and Output Pinouts
section. Measurements will proceed at a rate of approximately 10 per second between the “Start” and “Stop”
activation. Lasercheck Head Mounted on Conveyor for Automated Inspection
Lasercheck Head Mounted over Multiple Individual Parts for Automated Inspection
There are ten drilled and tapped holes on the Lasercheck sensor head that can be used for mounting and
installing the Lasercheck in an automated inspection application. The head should be positioned at a location
where parts will pass beneath the gage at the correct vertical and horizontal position relative to the gage head
(see appendix section on Lasercheck Alignment Principles and Procedures). If parts are not clean, an air knife
should be installed and mounted prior to the laser head to blow-dry excess coolant off of the surface to be
measured. Ideally the parts would pass a few millimeters under the air knife, which would operate with a
pressure of approximately 20 psi blowing on the surface.
