Laser micrometer
LaserLinc has released a new laser scan micrometer, the Triton331™. Like the Triton330, the Triton331 has a 30mm
measurement window but is said to be much faster at up to 12,000 measurements per second (4,000 per axis).
The higher scan rate enables detection of shorter-length
flaws and accurate measurement of hexagonal or other
product shapes that incur oscillation, and measurement
of non-constant diameter products, such as corrugated
tubing.
The standard measurement rate is 4,800 per second,
with 12,000 as an option.
The gauge is also suitable for use with LaserLinc’s new
Lobex™ system for in-process lobing measurement on
centreless ground products, including centreless ground
wire.
Like all LaserLinc scanners, the Triton331 links, via the
TLAser400™ micrometer interface card, to a PC running
Total Vu™ software.
Total Vu software is LaserLinc’s measurement/data
processing package, which runs on any Windows-based
PC to provide in-process tolerance checking, trending,
SPC, feedback control, data logging, recipes and other
features.
