LaserLinc Inc., which designs and manufactures non-contact, laser and ultrasonic measurement systems, recently introduced its new Triton331™ laser scan micrometer.
The Triton331 has a 30mm measurement window, like LaserLinc's Triton330, but is much faster—12,000 measurements per second (4,000 per axis). Because of its speed, the Triton331 is exceptional at detecting flaws. The higher scan rate enables detection of shorter-length flaws and accurate measurement of hexagonal or other product shapes that incur oscillation, and measurement of non-constant diameter products, such as corrugated tubing.
The standard measurement rate is 4,800 per second, 12,000 as an option.
Like all LaserLinc scanners, the Triton331 links to a PC running Total Vu™ software, which is LaserLinc's sophisticated, yet operator-friendly, measurement/data processing package that runs on any Windows-based PC. The system provides in-process tolerance checking, trending, SPC, feedback control, data logging, recipes and other features.
