Here at Petersen, Inc. we offer fabrication, advanced manufacturing and machining services for nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace, mining and industrial projects. We use Hamar Laser’s L-743 Ultra-Precision Triple Scan® Laser to make alignments and adjustments on our large-format CNC machines, from horizontal milling machines all the way to vertical turning centers and gantry machines.
What we like best about the L-743 is being able to use one laser device with multiple targets to reference zero and monitor multiple points on flat beds and perpendicularity at the same time. This has been a huge advantage for us. We had used a laser tracker for this but with only a single point we were constantly having to go back and reference zero again, just to make sure things hadn’t moved, or to readjust the unit, or to make sure the laser wasn’t affected by external factors.
Hamar Laser’s L-743 is an extremely accurate, easy-to-use and cost-effective way to simplify and streamline alignments along multiple axes, and I can highly recommend it for large-format CNC machine alignment.
