GapGun advances by half a hair’s breadth

GapGun, the hand-held laser measurement device used to verify dimensional accuracy in build-critical applications in the aerospace and automotive industries is now available with an optional high resolution head that doubles its accuracy to within just 50 microns.

 

The new head fine tunes performance for fine detail measurements and other demanding applications and is particularly suitable where multiple adjoining measurements require the GapGun to operate within a small field of view.

 

Easily adapted between hand-held and robot mounted operation, GapGun3 has the functionality required to execute a wide range of measurement operations in just one single device, performing consistently without the need for frequent calibration.  It operates effectively on a broad range of surfaces including unpolished and galvanized metals, plastics, soft furnishings, glass and mirrored finishes. As a result, GapGun has found a particular niche in the aerospace industry, in the verification of production quality on panels, doors and hatches and also in automotive manufacture where it is being used for both painted and Body in White measurements, sealant beads and for interior dashboards and trim.

 

GapGun’s high resolution head is available at no additional cost and existing GapGun users can upgrade for a small fee.
