LaserLinc's three-axis Triton™ micrometers provide near-perfect measurements of ovality of elliptically-shaped products by combining three simultaneous diameter measurements spaced equally over 120 degrees.

Measuring the ovality—also called eccentricity—of nearly round and elliptically shaped products with a dual-axis micrometer is prone to error (see graph below). LaserLinc's three-axis Triton scanners eliminate these errors because they accurately measure your product regardless of the angle at which it is oriented.

As for hard-to-find flaws that do not encircle the product, a LaserLinc three-axis scanner is more than twice as likely to detect such flaws as a two-axis micrometer.

Three-axis measurements are your most precise and profitable solution for inspecting the outer diameter and ovality of products such as catheters, insulated wire and glass rods—as well as measuring the outer diameter and eccentricity of all types of machined parts.

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