LASERS

L-700/701 SPINDLE LASERS

DESCRIPTION

The L-700 is a Class II solid-state diode laser with a visible beam that is user-adjustable to be concentric to the center of its mounting stud or the axis of the spindle in which the unit is mounted. The adjustment operating range is approximately 30 feet (9.1 M), although the laser can be used out to 100' (30.5 M). The micro-fine angular adjustment of the L-701 extends the adjustment operating range to 100 feet (30.5 M). Built-in levels on the top and bottom provide easy indexing when inverting for error correction readings. Other features include a shutter to protect the optics and an LED to indicate when the beam is on. Power is provided to the laser by a standard 9V battery for up to 8 hours of operation. A 0.5" (12.7 mm) mounting stud simplifies fixturing and can be removed to adapt the unit to custom fixtures or other alignment applications.

APPLICATIONS

  • Transfer-line spindles
  • Rotary dial machines
  • Boring bars
  • Turning applications (cylindrical, OD/ID grinders, lathes)
  • Twin-barrel extruders

FEATURES

  • Simple fixturing for mounting the laser and target.
  • Mounts in the spindle to project its axis of rotation, allowing even the largest transfer line machines to be aligned quickly and effortlessly.
  • Vertical and horizontal controls on the front for both angle and center for fine-adjustment of laser to spindle axis of rotation.
  • Targets provide live measurement data in 4 axes (vertical and horizontal angle and center).
  • Visible-light beam aids setup.
  • Runs for up to 8 hours on a standard, replaceable 9-volt battery.
  • Compact and rugged.
