||||
 January 22, 2013 Press Release -- New Spindle Alignment Kit Turns Waste to Profits  Pinpoint
Laser Systems® has introduced the
Microgage Spindle Alignment Kit, a unique new
laser alignment and
measurement system for lathes, turning equipment, spindles, and related machinery. The spindle
alignment kit is turnkey, easy to use, and easily transportable to the factory floor. Ideal
applications include aligning lathes and turning centers, adjusting boring mills, setting up
spindles, aligning drive shafts, adjusting barfeeders, and many other industrial applications.
This new Microgage system provides information on runout, centerline offset, parallelism, concentricity
and other useful parameters that can guide machinery back to optimal alignment and improved
profits.This Pinpoint lathe & spindle alignment system is simple and quick to use with a round laser that is secured into a chuck or attached to the end of a shaft or spindle. A dual-axis receiver is placed on the tailstock, tool holder, or another piece of equipment that can receive the laser beam. As the laser and the receiver move relative to each other, the digital display provides a precise reading of the alignment and machine’s characteristics. The new Microgage Spindle Alignment tool can measure to a precision of 0.0001 inch or better and the laser allows for alignments over distances as great as 150 feet. The recent introduction of Pinpoint’s newest Capture™ software which is included in the kit, brings added precision, easy to follow screen instructions and informative data displays to further assist the alignment of spindles and lathes. The Kit operates on batteries and all components are compact and durable, machined of solid anodized aluminum or stainless steel for wear resistance. The USB Interface connects to a laptop or PC for running Pinpoint’s popular Capture™ software. It provides easy to follow instructions and graphic images to simplify the alignment process. The Microgage Spindle Alignment Kit includes a compact carrying case to store the components and is easily moved to the manufacturing floor.
