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
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.
The LSM-9506 is classified into two types, the mm/E type and mm/inch type. This User’s
Manual explains about the mm/E type. In case of using the mm/inch type, read this User’s
Manual with replacing the “E” indication with “inch (in)”.
