T-1294 3-Axis Wireless Spindle & Scan Target

T-1294 3-Axis Wireless Spindle & Scan Target

Description

Hamar Laser’s T-1294 3-Axis Target is a multi-purpose target designed work with our L-702/L-702SP/L-703 Spindle/Machine Tool Lasers.  It also supports all our L-730-740 scanning lasers when used in Scanning Mode to measure axes & surfaces using the L-730/740 laser planes.

The T-1294 features a very high measuring resolution of .00002 in. (0.0005 mm) for center (H&V).  It also features a large, super-linear PSD of 33×13 mm that gives an extremely large measuring range and high accuracy.  It comes with a 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) mounting stud to insert into a spindle collet or chuck. The PSD sensor is centered to the mounting stud to .0003 in. (0.008 mm) or better.

The T-1294 communicates with a PC or PDA via Bluetooth with 100 ft. (30 m) of measuring range or a USB cable that also charges the target.

We also offer mounting accessories to use the T-1295 in many different applications.  The accessories include:

  • L-702RA Right-Angle Spindle Mount
  • T-242 Straightness Measuring Base
  • T-243 Flatness Measuring Base
  • T-1295-AO-3 3 in. (76.2 mm) Angular Lens
  • T-1295-AO-6 6 in. (152.4 mm) Angular Lens

Applications

  • Flatness/straightness of surfaces.
  • Pitch and yaw angular axis measurements with optional lenses.
  • Spindle alignments (center and angular) on ID/OD grinders, lathes, rotary dial machines and turning centers.
  • Straightness/flatness of linear axes or guideways on boring mills, gantries, machining centers, multiturn machines, VTLs

Features

  • High resolution:  .00002 in. (0.0005 mm) for center and .00008 in/ft. (0.007 mm/m) for angle with standard lens
  • Large super-linear, 2-axis measuring sensor with 33×13 mm PSD.
  • 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) mounting stud for inserting into spindle collets or chucks. The PSD sensor is centered to the mounting stud to .0005 in. (0.012 mm) or better.  The measuring plane of the sensor is optically projected to the measurement stud for improved accuracy.  The remaining centering error and other mounting errors are removed by NORMIN procedure in MultiTurn10, Lathe10 or other HLI software.
  • Bluetooth Class 1 radio for up to 100 feet (30 m) wireless communication.
  • Offers 2 standard measurement modes and 1 optional mode:
    • Center Mode – 2-axis center measurement for use with the L-702SP’s through-beam.
    • Flatness (Scanning) Mode – single-axis flatness measurement for use with the L-702SP’s auto-rotating laser plane.
    • Angular Mode (Optional) – 2-axis angular measurement for use with the L-702SP’s through-beam.
      • Optional Angular Lenses:  3 in. and 6 in. focal length providing up to .00004 in/ft (0.003 mm/m) of angular measuring resolution
  • The T-1294 Scanning Mode supports all our L-730/L-740 Scanning Lasers for measuring flatness/straightness using laser planes.
  • Accelerometer rotation axis (4th axis) helps to orient the PSD sensor axes to the alignment axes of the spindle.
  • Ambient background light correction for more accurate measurements
  • We also offer mounting accessories to use the T-1295 in many different applications.  The accessories include:
    • L-702RA Right-Angle Spindle Mount
    • T-242 Straightness Measuring Base
    • T-243 Flatness Measuring Base
    • T-1295-AO-3 3 in. (75 mm) Angular Lens
    • T-1295-AO-6 6 in. (152 mm) Angular Lens
