A laser autocollimator is a measuring instrument that allows for the easy measurement of fine angles without touching the object. By using a laser autocollimator, it becomes easier to inspect and measure angles of optical and mechanical components that require precision. This article introduces the features of laser autocollimators and the materials that can and cannot be measured. Table of Contents 1. What is a laser autocollimator? 2. Materials that can be measured with a laser autocollimator 3. Materials that cannot be measured with a laser autocollimator 4. If you want to measure angles with a laser autocollimator, consider Suruga Seiki's Smart LAC.

When conducting precise angle measurements, the measuring instruments primarily include displacement meters and laser autocollimators. So, which is better for angle measurement, the displacement meter or the laser autocollimator? This article will compare and explain the angle measurement methods using displacement meters and laser autocollimators. Table of Contents 1. What is a Displacement Meter? 2. What is a Laser Autocollimator? 3. Angle Measurement Methods for Each Measuring Instrument - In the case of Displacement Meters - In the case of Laser Autocollimators 4. If you want to achieve high-precision angle measurement, the laser autocollimator is recommended.

Precise angle measurement is an important element in various fields such as the manufacturing of machines and equipment, and robot control. However, selecting the appropriate measuring instruments is essential for performing high-precision measurements.

In the manufacturing industry, defects or issues with products can lead to a loss of customer trust. To ensure product quality, it is important to conduct inspections, and there are several types of inspections. This time, we will focus on acceptance inspection and explain its purpose, methods, standards, and the equipment used. Table of Contents 1. What is Acceptance Inspection? - Purpose of Acceptance Inspection - Risks of Not Conducting Acceptance Inspection 2. Methods of Acceptance Inspection 3. Standards for Acceptance Inspection 4. Commonly Used Equipment in Acceptance Inspection 5. Use a Laser Autocollimator for Angle Verification in Acceptance Inspection

I will explain a method for measuring the thickness of glass using a laser displacement gauge that employs a diffuse reflection detection method. Since this discussion will be somewhat lengthy, I will present it in three parts. In this first part, I will focus on the theory of glass thickness measurement. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Theoretical details of glass thickness measurement methods - A. Upper and lower limits of measurable thickness - B. Appropriate incident angle 3. Can both diffuse reflection and specular reflection be used?! Suruga Seiki's H810 series laser displacement gauge

In Part 1 of measuring the thickness of glass with a laser displacement meter, we discussed the principles related to measuring the thickness of glass (transparent materials) and the reflection angle that depends on the specifications of the laser displacement meter. This time, we will determine whether it is possible to actually measure from a specified angle. Table of Contents 1. Incident angle when measuring the thickness of glass with a laser displacement meter 2. Reflectivity based on the incident angle when measuring the thickness of glass with a laser displacement meter 3. Light absorption rate of glass (transparent materials) 4. Angle of reflected light and beam width of the laser displacement meter 5. Suruga Seiki with laser displacement meters
