Hamar Laser's alignment systems offer unparalleled accuracy and alignment time savings. Using components from several different systems, Hamar Laser has developed a package to align boring-bar bearings with as little effort as possible. Our L-700 Spindle Laser and A-510 Self-Centering Bore Target create a package to align boring-bar bearings up to 70% faster than conventional methods. With an accuracy of +/-.0002" (.005 mm) and large, color computer graphics, the L-700 is the perfect tool to align boring-bar bearings quickly and accurately.

Features:

The alignment of the bearing supports of boring bars has never been easy. Using a tram bar (or other such device to simulate the boring bar) to do the alignment is subject to sag and mounting errors. At best it becomes a trial and error task. At worst, the bearings wear out prematurely.

Laser Eliminates Tram-Bar Sag

The L-700 laser eliminates the sag of a tram bar by using light to very accurately project the spindle axis of rotation out to 100' (30.5 M). A target accuracy of +/- .0002" (.005 mm) means you can achieve very accurate alignments of your boring-bar bearing supports.

Spindle Laser and Bore Targets

The system uses the L-700 Spindle Laser and the A-510 Self-Centering Bore Target. After mounting and qualifying the laser, the target is inserted into the bearing and a reading is taken in the front and back of the bore. This gives you the misalignment is both angle and center for both the horizontal and vertical axes.

NORMIN Procedure Eliminates Mounting Errors

The laser is mounted in the spindle chuck and is qualified, or made parallel, to the axis of rotation by using our NORMIN method. This procedure eliminates the mechanical mounting errors of the laser and puts it on the precise axis of rotation of the drive shaft.

Live Data Speeds Alignment

Since the target can simultaneously show a live display of both horizontal and vertical readings, you can start aligning the bearings without changing the setup or moving the laser. When the readout reads zero in the front and back of the bore, the bearing is aligned.

HOW IT WORKS
Bore Alignment

FEATURES

• Simple fixturing to mount the laser into spindle projecting its axis of rotation to 100' (30.5 M).
• Vertical and horizontal controls for both angle and center for adjustment of laser to spindle's precise axis of rotation.
• +/- .0002" (.005 mm) target accuracy with live measurement data in two axes (vertical and horizontal center).
• Visible light beam.
• Hand-held LCD or large-display LED readouts show alignment data in 2 axes.
• Laser runs for up to 8 hours on a standard, replaceable 9-volt battery.
• Compact and rugged (4" L x 2.9" H x 1.75" W).
• Windows 95/98 based software with large, color graphics.
