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
The Measuring Unit LSM-902 is used for this Display Unit.
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 LSM-902.
WARNING
The Measuring Unit uses a laser. For safe operation, carefully read and follow the
“Safety Precautions on Use of Laser” section described in the user’s manual that is
supplied with each Measuring Unit.
