About Straightness
Product # – PR-ST01
The Microgage system works on a very simple principle: Laser light travels in a straight line. If you attach a laser transmitter to one assembly and a laser receiver to another, then the alignment of the two assemblies will equal the X/Y displacement of the laser beam at the receiver. And the Microgage system measures all this with a precision of 0.0001 inch over distances of up to 180 feet.
The Microgage system is specifically designed so users can handle virtually any alignment application, with set-up taking only minutes in most cases. Its rugged and highly portable smart display includes two convenient handgrips, a bright, color touchscreen, a hardware keypad, and a powerful on-board microprocessor that communicates via wires or wirelessly with receivers.
