By installing one or more TLAser400 Micrometer Interface Cards in any standard PC, you can connect up to 16 laser micrometers into a totally unified data measurement system for your entire production line.

The best news, however, is that LaserLinc is ready with equally powerful and versatile Total Vu Software to fully capitalize on all this data gathering power and versatility. The quickest way to appreciate the potential power and profitability of Total Vu Software is to watch the PC screen as it continuously follows the actual real-time performance of an entire production process in real-time, user-friendly and easy-to-understand graphic displays.
For any quality-conscious, profit-minded observer, it’s an exciting show. It also signals where your business and your industry is headed in terms of system-wide (as well as enterprise-wide) production monitoring, cost control, and information flow.
Because LaserLinc’s Total Vu Software runs on a standard PC, it offers some unique and very important benefits:
• It’s less expensive to buy,
• It’s easy for your line operators to understand and use properly,
• It’s easy to network and assure the future compatibility of your system with others,
• It can easily interface any PC with up to 16 laser micrometers—in any combination of existing gauges you now own or new ones from LaserLinc,
• It gives you the full picture by monitoring not only product measurements but process variables such as pressures, temperatures, loads, RPMs, length and speeds.
Total Vu Software begins by requesting your choice of set-up/start-up data such as line, operator, part number, material, customer.
Your operator may also select the recipe from a comprehensive list. You’re then ready to instruct Total Vu Software to display charts, statistics, measurement data from one or more micrometers. You can monitor other process variables such as pressures, temperatures, loads, RPMs and speed; control the process; detect and report flaws; identify out-of-spec product; track process events; log data for post analysis, reporting and archiving and track virtually every aspect of production.
With Total Vu Software, you are able to use your measurement data every way you want to in order to reduce scrap, avoid product-quality problems, automate with closed-loop controls, improve process speed and performance, enhance operator effectiveness, and provide complete and accurate documentation.
You can also tailor your displays to most effectively serve your operators by presenting only the information they need to perform their tasks. Using the standard PC’s ability to support multiple monitors, you can put as much information on display for the operator as needed with minimum expense.

Total Vu Software is fully Windows-compatible and its familiar graphical user interface is a big help for operators while they’re learning to use the system. Even if your process line includes several brands or types of micrometers, your operators can easily control them through a single unified interface.
