The Microgage PRO is your
ideal industrial alignment solution.
Microgage PRO 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 Microgage PRO measures all this with a precision of 0.0001 inch over
distances of up to 180 feet.
Are you a production engineer? In charge
of machine repair? Is precise alignment
absolutely critical to the proper functioning
of your manufacturing equipment and final product? Would you like a measurement
and alignment solution that is easy to set
up, easy to use and extremely versatile?
Then your solution is the
Microgage PRO.

Many Alignment Tools in OneUse the Microgage PRO to perform any of these essential alignment tasks:
Linear
Alignment (straightness)
Measures any devia-tion from a linear path.
Examples:aligninglongmachine beds, rails,
tracks, slides and shaft
runs.
Planar Alignment (flatness)
Measures any unevenness
ofasurface.Examples: machine beds, web systems,
roller systems, gantry travel,
surfaceprofilingand leveling machinery.
Perpendicular Alignment (squareness)
Measuresanydeviationoffasquarelineoraxis. Examples:checkingZ-axistravel,squaringguidesand actuators, aligning linear stages, inspecting
milling and cutting systems.
The 90-Line Beam Bender is an accessory
that redirects the laser beam at a precise right
angle, enabling the digital receiver to provide
measurements of squareness and parallelism.

Perpendicular Planes (squareplane)
Measures the squareness or perpendicu-larity of a plane relative to a reference line
oraxis.Examples:aligninggantrycrossbridges, checking overhead rollers and
idlers,andadjustingCNCmachinetools.
Multipath Alignment (parallelism)
Measures the degree to which two linear paths
maintain the same distance from each other
alongtheirentirelengths.Examples:aligningtracks and rails, positioning moving slides to
other assemblies, checking parallel edges,
aligning rollers and web handling systems.
Centerline Alignment (concentricity)
Measuresanyoffsetorangulardeviationoffacenterlineorrotatingaxis.Examples:aligningspindles,checkinglathesandCNCturning centers,adjustingextruderbarrels,gearbox and drive shaft alignment.
