Laser micrometer LaserLinc has released a new laser scan micrometer, the Triton331™. Like the Triton330, the Triton331 has a 30mm measurement window but is said to be much faster at up to 12,000 measurements per second (4,000 per axis).

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, with 12,000 as an option. The gauge is also suitable for use with LaserLinc’s new Lobex™ system for in-process lobing measurement on centreless ground products, including centreless ground wire. Like all LaserLinc scanners, the Triton331 links, via the TLAser400™ micrometer interface card, to a PC running Total Vu™ software. Total Vu software is LaserLinc’s measurement/data processing package, which runs on any Windows-based PC to provide in-process tolerance checking, trending, SPC, feedback control, data logging, recipes and other features.
