LaserLinc’s dual-axis gauges range from the compact TLAser203™, with its .00158˝ – 080˝ (40µm – 2mm) measurement range to the large and rugged TLAser2120™, which can measure parts up to 4.72" (120mm) at up to 8,000 scans per second.

What Applications Need Dual-Axis Gauging?

For applications such as offline measurement of extruded tubing, or measurement of gage pins (also called go/no-go plug gages), quality or process engineers require more than the one measurement. Instead of having to rotate the product to take a second measurement with a single-axis gauge, a two-axis device can perform both measurements simultaneously.

If both sides of a rectangular product need to be measured, a two-axis gauge is ideal. A single-axis gauge can only measure one side; a triple-axis gauge can only have one axis at a time oriented to measure a side; the other two axes will not have a straight-on look at the second side.

With hexagonal product, it is possible to predict the flat-to-flat distance regardless of product orientation.

If defects do not encircle at least half of the product, even if they are extremely wide, a single-axis device could miss them, but a dual-axes device can identify the problem. Once a flaw gets to a certain size, a dual-axis gauge will find it regardless of orientation. A triple-axis gauge imposes still tighter bounds on the problem, and in some cases the extra cost will be worthwhile to get the extra degree of certainty.

In addition, a dual-axis gauge can detect whether product is out of round; a single-axis gauge cannot.

Ovality measurement is one area in which a more expensive triple-axis gauge could be preferred. With a dual-axis gauge, product orientation is essential; triple-axis gauges can measure ovality regardless of product orientation.

TLAser203™

The ultra-compact TLAser203 micrometer provides exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The prism-based system, with a shorter optical path and fewer components, minimizes positional and linearity errors and is not affected by motor wobble.

Because of its small size, the TLAser203 is perfectly-suited to fiber-optic cable, fine wire, and micro-extrusion.

To achieve optimum accuracy, adjustable calibration fixtures enable positioning of calibration standards within the measurement area. Nitrogen-purge system and O-ring seals keep the micrometer's measurement windows and product path free of contaminants, even in harsh environments.

TLAser222™

The TLAser222 is part of LaserLinc’s X22 family of 22 millimeter prism-based micrometers (along with the single-axis TLAser122™ and TLAser122s™). Like the TLAser203, the prism-based system ensures high accuracy and repeatability.

The TLAser222 is especially suited to measure drawn wire, flat wire (rolling mill), and general extrusion.

TLAser230™, TLAser260™, and TLAser2120™

The TLAser230, TLAser260, and TLAser2120 laser micrometers share many characteristics, differing mainly in their size. They feature sturdy aluminum bodies with sealed metal covers for lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.

Using either the standard rate of 3,200 scans per second or the optional rate of 8,000 scans per second, the TLAser230, TLAser260, and TLAser2120 provide thorough product inspection at higher line speeds, and faster cycle times for piece-part measurements.

Sizes measureable with the TLAser230, TLAser260, and TLAser2120:

TLAser230: 007˝ (.17mm) to 1.18” (30mm);

TLAser260: .016˝ (.4mm) to 2.36” (60mm);

TLAser2120 .028˝ (.7mm) to 4.72” (120mm)

The TLAser230, TLAser360, and TLAser2120 are especially suited for measurement of high speed extrusion, re-spooling for incoming inspection, and flaw detection.

Fitting Your Needs

LaserLinc's dual-axis gauges are idea for:

Checking for out-of-round product;

Defects that do not necessarily encircle the product;

When one measurement isn't enough;

Products that are rectangular or hexagonal.

Options include easy-mount air purge, roller guides, and calibration fixtures.

For optimal inspection of your products, add the Profile Vu oscillating micrometer fixture.
