Greater accuracy in geometric measurements
Fixturlaser Geo 305 is the new laser based double axis system developed by Fixturlaser for greater accuracy in geometric measurements, alignment and documentation on many industrial applications.
Customers say that there are many companies that have fancy high-tech products, but that they know now which products they want and which they can rely on.
Fixturlaser's PAT has proved to be the right, reliable, reasonably priced product for quick and easy alignment of pulley drives.
The agent says that it is fun to sell a product that basically sells itself.
For Fixturlaser this is proof that it is possible to develop products and systems that are accepted by the engineering industry world-wide".
Fixturlaser AB develops manufactures and markets laser based alignment systems in more than 50 countries world-wide.
The distribution network consists of skilled measurement and alignment engineers ready to provide support to engineering industry and with its increasing demand for accuracy in measuring, alignment and positioning.
PAT Pulley Alignment Tool, the latest system from Fixturlaser, is designed for the alignment of pulleys.
By using the belt groove as reference, the procedure becomes not only simple but also very accurate.
The system consists of two identical battery operated units.
The PAT units are mounted on the pulleys using extra strong magnets.
A spring action probe locates the belt groove and the units are easily snapped into position on the pulleys by the magnets when the units are pressed towards the pulleys.
In the past accurate alignment has been so time consuming that it has been impossible to carry it out regularly.
That is why some companies have refrained from aligning pulleys at all.
Fixturlaser's PAT will contribute to increased productivity and profitability as pulleys can be aligned and adjusted regularly.
The alignment process is very simple Only one person is needed to carry out the alignment and no training is needed to operate the system.
When the laser is switched on, it will draw a line on the target label.
The correct position is achieved when the laser lines are aligned with the centre mark on the target label.
PAT measures angular, parallel, and twist deviations simultaneously".
