L-742 Ultra-Precision Dual Scan® Laser

L-742 Ultra-Precision Dual Scan® Laser

Description

Designed primarily for high-accuracy flatness, straightness and squareness measurements, the L-742 Ultra-Precision Dual Scan® Laser has 2 auto-rotating laser planes, 1 vertical and 1 horizontal.  Both laser planes are flat within 0.5 arc seconds (.00003 in./ft or 0.0025 mm/m) in a 360º sweep and 0.25 arc second in a 90º sweep. The laser planes are perpendicular within 1 arc second (.00006 in./ft. or 0.005 mm/m).  It also features 2-arc-second illuminated level vials.

The laser is mounted on an adjustable base with coarse and fine pitch, roll and yaw adjustments, so that each laser plane can project the measurement reference out to 100 feet (30.5 m) in radius in all directions. The laser is completely self-contained and can operate on battery or AC power.

Applications

  • For alignments with tolerances of .00003 in./ft. or 0.0025 mm/m or greater
  • Measuring and aligning:
    • The flatness and straightness of almost any surface (squares, frames, ways, flanges, circles, etc.)
    • Leveling almost any surface (squares, frames, ways, flanges, circles, etc.)
    • The flatness and straightness of horizontal and vertical surfaces
    • The straightness of horizontally and vertically traversing axes of machine tools
    • The squareness of vertical to horizontal surfaces, up to 100 feet (30.5 m)
