Laser transmitters for different measurement needs

Laser – a perfect starting point for precision measurement

The laser beam is the reference for the measurements. It can be compared to an absolutely straight and weightless ruler, that is to say a perfect starting point for precision measurement. But different measurement applications require different laser transmitters. Read on to learn more!

XT20 and XT22: versatile transmitters with swiveling laser head

These transmitters can handle most types of geometrical measurements, like straightness, flatness, and squareness. The swiveling laser head gives a 360° laser plane parallel to the measured object, and the XT22 can also angle the laser beam 90° to the sweep for squareness measurement. The electronic levels ensure quick feedback and low risk of errors.

Both transmitters connect to the XT Alignment app. This gives you several benefits when it comes to ease of use. The app also warns you of temperature changes and vibrations that can affect the measurement results negatively. Step-by-step guidance during calibration of the units is another advantage.

What are the main differences between these two transmitters? Take a look in the table below.

The Easy-Laser® XT24 laser transmitter is typically used to measure the straightness of, for example, bore center lines and propulsion drive lines. The laser transmitter has a measurement distance of up to 40 meters, and brackets are available for many purposes. The fiber-coupled laser diode provides extreme accuracy.

This transmitter is used to align belt or chain transmissions. The laser transmitter is mounted on one of the sheaves, and the detector on the other. The transmitter generates a laser plane parallel to the reference sheave. The detector reads the position in relation to the laser plane and provides a live digital display of both offset and angular value. This makes the alignment of the adjustable machine very simple. If you connect the detector to a separate display unit, for example your smartphone, you can follow the alignment at the place where you adjust, making the job even easier!

We hope you now have a better picture of our different laser transmitters. Maybe you found one that responds to your specific measurement needs? Or, worst case, you did not find any that suit your requirements! Either way – feel free to contact us. And if you want more details about any of them, please take a look in our product catalogue.
