This chapter describes the Laser Scan Micrometer (LSM) models and
nomenclature of the Display unit and the Measuring unit.
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Outline
This system is an accurate, non-contact measurement system capable of measuring workpiece
dimensions at a high speed using a highly directional scanning laser beam.
This non-contact optical measuring system is capable of measuring workpieces which are
difficult to measure with conventional measuring instruments. It performs simple and
accurate measurement of brittle or elastic objects, objects at high temperature, objects which
must be kept clean, and soft objects which may be deformed and suffer dimensional changes
under the measuring forces used.
1.2 Foreword
This user’s manual primarily explains the functions of the Display Unit. For information
about the safety precautions, specifications, dimensions, standard accessories, and options for
each Measuring Unit, refer to the user’s manual supplied with the Measuring Unit.
1.2.1 Measuring units available
This Display Unit can be used with the following Measuring Units.
sledoM
S005-MSL
S105-MSL
S305-MSL
S605-MSL
S215-MSL
S615-MSL
1.2.2 Using the Measuring Unit separately
All models, excluding the LSM-500S, can be used separately (the laser emission unit and
reception unit can be separated) by removing the mount from the Measuring Unit.
For information about using an LSM separately, refer to the measuring unit user’s manual.
