LaserGaugeŽ system can be used for many different applications because its power and flexibility is in the software. Standard dimensional measurements are made using software algorithms called Virtual Gauges. Complex or unique measurement requirements can be automated through custom-programmed algorithms, called LGBasic Algorithms. All Virtual Gauges and LGBasic Algorithms run on all model controllers.
Many industries have the same or similar dimensional inspection needs, but use different terms to describe the same type measurement. For example, the Automotive industry uses the term "flush" while Aerospace uses the term "mismatch" to describe the measurement of alignment between two panels. If you do not find the measurement or application you are looking for in the table below, contact us. We will be happy to discuss your measurement requirements.
