The company has just introduced an intelligent gauge-interface for stand- alone operation or communication with PLCs. The standard gauges operate via Total Vu™ software-a PC-based interface that gives sophisticated, yet operator-friendly measurement/ data processing. Total Vu gives a picture of the products made, in real-time, with run and trend charts, graphical cross-section display, and measurements in configurable, easy-to-read panels. Features include in-process tolerance checking, defect detection, SPC, feed-back control, data logging, recipes, and configurable reporting. LaserLinc systems are available in a variety of configurations and sizes, with laser scan micrometers of one, two, and three axes, plus the ultra- sonic wall thickness measurement device, the UltraGauge+. Scanners cover product diameters from 0.035mm (0.0014") to 120mm (4.7"), and feature compact models and the highest measurement rates available. Split transmitter/receiver models offer flexibility and precision for multi- strand applications, and the three-axis Triton series provides accurate ovality measurement regardless of product orientation. With the UltraGauge+, the user can measure wall thickness at up to eight positions with over 2,000 measurements per second. and the UltraGauge+ have a four-year warranty, parts and labour. In virtually all cases, a temporary replacement will be shipped overnight if a micrometer needs warranty repair.
