The L-730 Precision Leveling Laser is the ideal tool for
leveling tooling or jigs in aircraft manufacturing. The combination of
its continuously sweeping laser plane and targets with large measuring
ranges and built-in readouts make a highly efficient and extremely useful
leveling tooling and other similar applications.
Laser Reduced Work Crew for Monument Alignment
The L-730 Leveling Laser has been successfully used by one, large US aircraft
manufacturer to level and shim into a common plane the monument mounting
surfaces of the galleys and other interior components of wide-body aircraft.
This eliminated a 400-pound fixture that had to be moved from station
to station by three workers to perform the alignment, and reduced the
work crew from three to one.
Now that worker simply moves a 2-pound measuring target to the various
points and transmits the data via our wireless IR system to a computer
that analyzes the data to determine the "best fit" plane. The
software then computes how much each point needs to be shimmed to make
the entire area flat.
More Efficient Tooling Calibration
The L-730's built-in 2 arc second level vials mean multiple points can
be leveled at the same time. This is especially useful for those used
to traditional optical methods that require two people to adjust a single
point. This time and manpower savings helps keep the cost of maintaining
jig and fixture calibration to a minimum.
Very Flat Laser Plane and Highly Accurate Levels
The L-730 Laser produces a laser plane that is flat in a 180º sweep
to within 2 arc seconds (0.00012" or 0.01 mm/M). In a 90º sweep,
the laser plane is flat to within 1 arc second. That means that under
good atmospheric conditions, the L-730 is accurate to +/-0.0006"
(0.15 mm) in 10 feet (3 meters) or +/- .006" in 100 feet (30.5 meters).
The L-730 has 2 level vials built right into the laser that are also accurate
to 2 arc seconds.
Live Alignment Data
As with all Hamar Laser products, the L-730 Laser Leveling System provides
live alignment data. This means you can put a target over a jacking bolt,
start adjusting it and the reading will automatically update.
Multiple Targets for Large Applications
You can even use more than one target, which is extremely useful on large
fixtures, aircraft assembly areas or large machine beds. In fact, there
is no limit to the number of targets that can be used. This allows the
use of multiple work crews, which can really speed alignments.
Wireless Targets and Readouts
Our 2 new lines of wireless targets eliminate long extension cords for
reference targets. The targets work with all of our continuously rotating
laser plane systems and can be used up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) from
the laser.
The first new target line (A-1531, A-1532, and A-1533) features:
built-in readouts, 0.001" (0.02 mm) resolution and up to 3"
(75 mm) of measuring range.
The second line (A-1519. A-1519HR and A-1520) features: wireless communication
to a Cassiopeia PDA (R-1309), which can display up to 4 targets simultaneously,
resolutions down to 0.00002" (0.0005 mm) and up to a 1" (25
mm) measuring range. Other features like electronic zeroing and target
averaging help to speed alignments.
New Targets Can Measure Actual Dimensions
The dimension from the bottom of new targets to the center
of the target cells have been tightly controlled. This allows the targets
to be used with precision inserts to measure actual dimensions from the
laser plane to the surface being measured.
Color Windows 95/98 Software
The L-730 can also be linked to our new Plane 5 flatness analyzing software.
It is a Windows 95/98 based software that can analyze almost any layout
for flatness or straightness. Plane 5 will even analyze squareness if
used with our squareness lasers. Squares, rectangles, frames, circles,
rings, and up to 5 sets of ways can all be easily analyzed with Plane5.
The alignment data can be automatically downloaded by using the A-1519
target and A-908 IR receiver for the laptop.
