Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Solartron Metrology’s Class 3 visible laser gauge sensor combined with Solartron’s Orbit and Orbit ACS products offers a solid non contact metrology solution for many applications There are two versions of the laser the LTH Laser which is the highest performing laser in the range and the LTM laser which has lower resolution. -
Page 5: Safety, Warnings And Cautions
SAFETY, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS 2.1 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Symbol Definitions and Explanation Laser Aperture. Electrical Shock/Electrocution Hazard. Class 3R: Is considered safe if handled carefully, with restricted beam viewing. Page 5 of 15 503158 ISSUE 3 EDCR21694... - Page 6 SAFETY, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS (continued) WARNING: DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE BEAM This product emits laser radiation. DO NOT stare directly into the beam with the naked eye or any form of optical equipment. DO NOT stare at reflections of the beam.
- Page 7 SAFETY, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS (continued) WARNING: DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS Do not use this product in environments containing flammable liquids, flammable gases, or flammable particulate matter WARNING: DO OPEN OR MODIFY THE LASER HEAD Laser radiation levels inside the head can exceed the rated levels outside of the head.

2.2 SAFETY FEATURES Aperture Cover-For Class 3B laser (inclusive) and higher class laser heads, an aperture cover will be supplied. This cover will block the laser light from exiting the laser head. For Class 3R (inclusive) and lower class laser heads, an aperture cover will not be provided. Laser ON LED-This product has a range indicator LED which also functions as a Laser ON indicator. -
Page 9: Operating Principles
OPERATING PRINCIPLES 3.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Solartron LTX laser system uses the principle of laser triangulation to perform a one dimensional measurement of a target. This can be used to measure height, profile, distance, displacement, thickness, alignment etc. (For some measurement applications more than one laser may be required). -
Page 10: Head Orientation
3.2.2 Head Orientation 3.2.2.1 Moving Targets The orientation of LTX relative to a moving target can affect the performance, as a general rule position the wide face of the LTX perpendicular to the motion. Page 10 of 15 503158 ISSUE 3 EDCR21694... -
Page 11: Slots And Walls
3.2.2.2 Slots and Walls When measuring near a wall or measuring in a slot ensure that the reflected beam is not blocked or reflected away from the head by any obstruction. Page 11 of 15 503158 ISSUE 3 EDCR21694... -
Page 12: Mounting
3.2.3 Mounting The LTX has two mounting holes for a M3.5 screw or #6 ANSI/ASME screw. Do not exceed a tightening force of 2.3 Nm (20 in Lbs). A suitable thread locking agent is advised. The LTX has three reference surfaces which may be used to align the head for optimal performance. The primary surface A is formed by the raised mounts on bottom of the head. -

Page 14: Key Features
KEY FEATURES 4.1.1 Laser Head Filter The laser filter can be set to improve signal stability via the Orbit Network. Available Settings: 20 kHz, 4 kHz, 1 kHz, 200 Hz, 25 Hz, 1 Hz and 0.1 Hz Note that on certain targets, particularly dark targets, setting the filter to 4 kHz or lower may improve performance as the CMOS integration time is increased at settings of 4 kHz or lower. -
Page 15: Laser Beam Control
4.1.3 Laser Beam Control The laser Beam can be switched off. Allowing the lasers to measure points that are close together where beam interference may cause a problem. In the beam off mode the laser head remains powered which keeps the laser operating at full performance so that readings can be taken quickly after turning the beam back on.
