Laser Components USA, provider of components and services in the laser and optoelectronics industry, offers FLEXPOINT laser modules for complex measurement tasks in automobile and aircraft manufacturing. "They enable seamless assembly and operation of parts in which the laser acts as an alignment aid or non-contact measurement tool. In combination with low-cost detectors or a camera and evaluation software, laser technology achieves more accurate and reproducible measurements in a short time - no matter the shape of the part - unlike traditional methods using taper gauges, slip gauges and Vernier calipers," said a company spokesperson.
"With the FLEXPOINT laser series, Laser Components provides the automobile and transport industry new solutions to old manufacturing problems," said the spokesperson. "Where rotational wobble threatens with wear, tear and lowered performance efficiency, the exactness of the dot or line laser can ensure optimal alignment in the manufacturing process. Where gaps and seams threaten mechanical integrity, the line laser can raise the flag before the problem leaves the factory. In an era where superior engineering is signified by alluring body design, the ideal 3D form analysis can be generated by the right diffractive optical element and laser module."
FLEXPOINT laser modules consist of a cw laser diode (405-905 Nm) or a DPSS (diode pumped solid state) module (532 Nm), application-specific optics (dot, line, cross-hair or DOE optics), electronics and a potential-free housing. Different wavelengths and power levels as well as different drivers with digital or analog modulation increase the flexibility of the miniature laser system. A variety of FLEXPOINT laser modules feature a digital laser controller, which is an important component for integration in modern Industry 4.0 control systems.
Since no two applications are alike, Laser Components USA offers its customers the option of developing a custom laser module that is suited directly to the application and then produce it in series.
