LASERLINC has developed the NetLinc laser micrometer interface, which streamlines the setup process by enabling transmission of measurement data via a standard Ethernet cable. One end of the cable is plugged into a PC, laptop or all-in-one box running Total Vu software, and the other into the NetLinc micrometer’s Ethernet port. The NetLinc interface can also connect a micrometer to plant networks, streaming the data to a Total Vu PC via standard Ethernet TCP/IP. Connectivity of the NetLinc interface is incorporated directly into most LaserLinc micrometers. An external box can be added to allow use of the NetLinc interface with existing LaserLinc micrometers. With a network switch for extra Ethernet ports, multiple boxes can be added to a PC, and connections are available for encoder and digital input. LaserLinc manufactures accurate and adaptable non-contact laser and
