Laser measuring unit provides 2.5-µm resolution

Prima Power Laserdyne has introduced the OFC2 ABSOLUTE™ precision measuring unit for laser processing that provides 2.5-µm absolute measurement resolution.

The unit, which is based on laser distance measurement technology, complements the patented OFC Optical Focus Control supplied on Laserdyne systems for relative measurement of surfaces. It maps the surface of thermal barrier-coated sheet metal components and maintains the laser beam focus at the precise location of a laser-drilled hole.

The unit’s working range is more than 4 in. independent of processing lens focal length. This allows the user to determine the location of reference features using a more generous standoff between the laser processing head and workpiece, which helps prevent collisions between them.
