L-723 TRIPLE SCAN LASER

DESCRIPTION
The L-723 Triple Scan Laser is our most versatile and powerful machine-tool alignment laser. It has 3 rotating laser planes that are perpendicular to 1 arcsec and flat to 1/2 arc second in a 180º sweep and 1/4 arc second in a 90º sweep. The L-723 was specifically designed for 3-5-axis machining centers to measure and correct machine geometry. In most cases, all it takes is one setup to measure flatness, straightness, parallelism and squareness. Since the system provides live measurements, any errors that are found can be fixed with the same setup. The laser mounts on a machine or stable base so that the laser plane can project the measurement reference out to 100' for each laser plane
