Pinpoint Proline Alignment Kit

July 01, 2010

Pinpoint Laser Systems introduced the new Pinpoint Proline Alignment Kit, a visual laser system for checking and measuring straightness, flatness, squareness, parallelism, leveling and other tasks. This kit combines the features of a transit, an infinitely long straightedge and laser alignment system in one compact, portable product. The Proline Laser produces a crisp, collimated laser reference beam that forms a bull's-eye pattern for visual alignment and precise measuring, according to the company. This laser is enclosed within a machined housing, ensuring that the laser reference beam is parallel to the side and base surfaces within 0.003° degree. This level of accuracy is suited for setting straight machinery runs, aligning production equipment, transferring mechanical points, locating shafts and bearing mounts and aligning belts and pulleys. A finely ruled target and magnetic base are moved around for checking alignments, allowing one person to perform the work of several. The kit includes a leveling base so the laser can measure flat planes and machined surfaces. A 90° laser prism is useful for squaring machinery and checking the parallelism of rails, tracks and guides. A growing line of versatile targets, mounts and attachments expands the versatility of the Proline Laser and any task, however specialized. The Proline Laser and all of its attachments are stored in a durable carrying case for convenience and easy transport.
