Industrial Applications

1. Precision Aerospace Component Quality Inspection

Inspecting tight-tolerance turbine blade roots, housing dimensions, and complex critical components in aerospace manufacturing. The LH-600FG's exceptional plane repeatability of 0.4 µm and indication accuracy of ±(1.1 + 0.6L/600) µm allow engineers to verify micron-level tolerances of aircraft parts before assembly.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of structural failure from dimensional errors by offering ultra-high-precision vertical and 2D inspections, reducing manual micrometrical error in quality control labs.

2. Automotive Cylinder Bore and Shaft Diameter Verification

Conducting high-volume dimensional scanning of engine blocks, cylinders, and shafts on granite surface plates. The built-in air compressor enables a semi-floating pneumatic mechanism, reducing operator fatigue when shifting the 26.6 kg unit across large surfaces. Meanwhile, the motorized slide and automatic reversal point detection accurately capture inside bore and outer shaft diameters.

Problem Solved

Speeds up routine inspection cycles of heavy automotive castings on the shop floor without sacrificing accuracy, preventing wear on the surface plate and instrument base.

3. Perpendicularity and Straightness Calibration for Precision Machine Guide Rails

Measuring the alignment, perpendicularity, and straightness of vertical guide rails in high-precision CNC machinery. Utilizing the LH-600FG's mechanical straightness accuracy of 4 µm and a perpendicularity tolerance of 5 µm (after compensation), technicians can mount a digital indicator to trace and calibrate linear guide paths.

Problem Solved

Solves the challenge of identifying minor alignment defects or structural twists in machinery frames that could degrade milling accuracy, ensuring high-quality machining operations.
