(LaserLinc: Fairborn, OH) -- LaserLinc, a leader in design and manufacturing of noncontact, laser, and ultrasonic measurement systems, has added ultrasonics to its popular BenchLinc benchtop inspection systems.

The fixture is based on LaserLinc’s UltraGauge+ ultrasonic wall measurement system. Manufacturers can use the system to inspect cut-to-length metal tubing. The operator is able to position the tube manually at any location and at any angle. For operator ease of use, measurements can be triggered based on a push button or a foot pedal.

To increase inspection speed and improve reliability and repeatability (R&R), options for automatic feed, automatic sort, and automatic pick and place are available.

The fixture also incorporates a laser micrometer for optical density measurement.

The UltraGauge+ system consists of a digital signal processor (DSP) and a transducer fixture. The DSP connects via Ethernet to a PC running Total Vu software, LaserLinc’s proprietary measurement/data processing package.
