Bridging the gap between mechanical gauging and CMMs, the LaserGauge handheld laser profiling system uses Virtual Gauges for dimensional measurements and surface contour analysis of gap/step/angle, fastener/rivets, FOD (scratches, pitting, corrosion, dents, gouges), welds (butt, lap, fillet), pin height, seal measurement, wrinkle inspection, composite roughness, adhesive bead height, v-grooves, burr height, fretting/wear, inside and outside radius, break edge, turbine blade leading and trailing edge, flanges, floor beams, spars corners, paint step height, rib step, stringer, etching depth and a host of custom applications.
