Measurement Columns M20L (LAP) Series

The M20 laser series measuring column is a high precision equipment for dimensional quality control in production lines.

The M20-2L model allows connection up to 2 triangulation laser heads, and simultaneous inspection up to two independent products.

The use of laser sensors allows non-contact, long distance high precision measurements. Additionally, laser sensors do not require calibration, making the setup process easier and faster.

All models have a high contrast LCD display (2 lines, 16 characters per line), a 101 segment multicolor led bargraph, 6 auxiliary led indications, industrial grade membrane panel, RS232/USB communication interfaces and a digital I/O port (10-bit I/O) for industrial automation.

Features

• High ruggedness and ease to use. Exceptional electronic and mechanical ruggedness.
• Integrated data acquisition with support to communicate with commercial SPC software.
• Direct readout of instantaneous measure, max, min, tir and mean values, for inspection of profile, orientation, run out or position tolerances, without need of complex analysis by the user
• Simultaneous display of readouts in a high contrast LCD display and 101 segments multicolor led bargraph, allowing ease detection of dimensional run outs or part rejection
• Independent non-volatile setup up to 100 products (with processing up to 4 transducers on each setup), making the setup process quick and ease even in high diversity part production lines.
• Compatible with LAP Laser triangulation heads for non-contact precision measurements
• Capable of direct processing for the following units: micrometer, millimeter, centimeter, meter, inch, mils, radian, miliradian, milidegree, degree, milligram, gram, kilogram, ton, kgf, lbf and N (application dependent)
• Auto detection and setup switch based on sensor signal
• Digital input filters with adjustable cut frequency
• Flexible bargraph visualization modes, with option for rollout, zoom-out, static display and center bar
• Dual-head feature, allowing two independent measurements to run simultaneously with split bargraph and display visualization
• RS232C and USB communication interfaces for easy data acquisition or connection with commercial SPC software
• Parallel I/O interface (10-bit) for PLC connection or other automation signaling
• 5 user configurable key
