Leveler – For Flat Planes
This is a precision leveling mount to support the laser for measuring and setting flat reference planes. The laser and mount are aligned by several fine adjustment knobs and can be rotated to any position for defining a flat plane. The Leveler can be attached to a tripod, mounted with fixtures, or simply clamped to a surface. A micrometer brake adjustment is included to lock the Leveler and make small angular adjustments.

4-Axis Precision Mount – Laser Beam Control
This adjustment mount supports the Laser Transmitter and allows precise beam control in the two linear axes: Left-right and up-down. Two precision angular motions, pitch and swing, are also provided. The 4-Axis Precision Mount will attach to tripods, machine mounts, and other surfaces. (Click on photo for larger image.)
90-Line Right Angle
The 90-Line is placed into the laser path and forms a precise right angle laser beam that is ideal for squaring machinery, checking parallelism and other tasks. A precision adjustment allows for tight rotational control and locking.The 90-Line is ideal for working in a 2 dimensional area, the 90-Line Square Plane is best for 3 dimensional projects.

90-Line Square Plane
The 90-Line Square Plane is an enhanced version of the 90-line for more demanding applications. The square plan includes the 90-Line, an adjustment mount for positioning the 90-Line and a microgage disk receiver for centering the laser beam.. The square plane is best used for projects where the 90 degree beam will be turned through a full plane. (Click on photo for larger image.)
Computer Interface Option
The DCU 2D links the Laser Microgage to your PC or laptop, greatly expanding the capabilities for precision measuring and recording data. The DCU 2D consists of a USB and a serial RS232C interface and Pinpoint Capture software for operating in a Windows environment. Pinpoint Capture lets you view readings, record data in a continuous or manual modes, and easy data-exporting to Excel® spreadsheets and text file formats. (Click on photo for larger image.)
Lasers & Receivers
Cylindrical Lasers
Several cylindrical lasers are available for use with the Microgage and are ideal for bore and spindle alignment or in place of a traditional scope or autocollimator. These lasers are available in a variety of diameters: .5″, .75″, 1″, 2.25″ and more. (Click on photo for larger image.
Microgage Receivers
A variety of additional receivers are available for use with the Microgage. Options include: 1 inch, 0.75 inches, 0.5 inches and 3.0 inch and a variety of cylindrical receivers and others. Pinpoint will also modify housings and receivers to fit your particular needs. (Click on photo for larger image.)
2D Transparent Receiver
The Microgage 2D transparent receiver provides a precise x and y measurement when placed into the laser beam path. The laser reference beam passes cleanly through this receiver so that the multiple receivers can measure off the same laser beam, at the same time. Each receiver provides a measurement, senstivie to 0.0005 inch and can be used over runs as long as 100 feet.
Angle Measuring Prism
Precise angular measurements and slope changes are measured with this prism. Angular readings as small as 0.0006 degrees or 2 arc-seconds are easily made with this prism. The housing has mounting points for attachment to various fixtures. The angle prisim is ideal for finding very small, precise, angular deflections in machinery and it can be used to check surface plates. (Click on photo for larger image.)
Mounts & Tripods
Precision Tripod Mount
This sturdy tripod supports the laser with the Leveler Rotational Mount or 4-Axis Precision Mount and is also ideal for mounting reference receivers, 90-Lines and other devices for long machinery runs. The solid design has lift control and expands from 28″ to 55″ (Click on photo for larger image.)
Magnetic Mount
The Magnetic Mount Assembly is a standard component in the Microgage kit and ideally suited for supporting the Microgage receiver, 90-Line, and other accessories. The mount also includes a fixed base for added versatility. (Click photo for larger image.)
C-Clamp Mount
The C-clamp mount is ideal for attaching Microgage receivers and 90-Lines to machinery and equipment. The clamp will open to 2.25 inches and the support bar will move through a range of 5½ inches. An optional adjustable mount on top of the bar allows for additional mounts. (Click photo for larger image.)
Roll Mount
The Roll Mount supports the Microgage receiver, 90-Line or other accessories on a roll, cylinder or curved surface. The mount has two adjustable bar feet that will accommodate various roll diameters and a strap is convenient for holding this mount in place. (Click on photo for larger image.)
Shaft Mount Fixture
The Microgage laser, receiver, and other accessories are attached to shafts, actuators, small pistons and rams with this mount. A chain linkage holds the mount securely in place and this mount is compatible with the magnetic mount slide bar. (Click photo for larger image.)
Receiver Bore Plug Mount
For bore alignment spindle adjustments and related applications this mount is a precise and convenient means of positioning the receiver relative to a cylindrical cavity or bore. The mount will support the receiver for a laser beam passing through the mounting bore and, if the receiver is flipped around (as shown), the mount will support the receiver in front of a bore tube. A variety of bore sizes from 0.75 inch and larger are available. (Click photo for larger image.)
Bore Mount
The PinPoint bore mount is a versatile expanding mount that positions the microgage receiver in the center of a bore tube, flange or circular opening. The Bore Mount can accomodate diameters from 2" to 18" (60mm to 400mm) with options for longer bores as needed. The mount can secure on the inner wall of the Bore or on the outer diamter.
Microshim Adjustment Kit
The Microshim is a precision, machinery pad for adjusting height and leveling large and heavy production equipment. Height adjustments as small as 0.001 inch are made by an adjustment screw on the end. The Microshim delivers a working range of 0.50 inch with a load-carrying capacity of 10,000 pounds. This product is ideal for aligning machine tools, leveling surface plates, adjusting long production equipment, supporting heavy machinery, and much more. The kit includes four Microshim pads and adding a bonding agent freezes the pads in a permanent height position.
