Lasers Add Versatility And Precision To Positioning

Carter Products has introduced a new line of laser diodes that provides pin-point accuracy in positioning. Produced by Z-Laser for Carter, Powercross models project a positioning cross with long, sharply-defined red laser lines. This makes them ideal for pod placement on CNC tables and for any other application where very exact positioning is required. The two small, but powerful, diode lasers are set in a single compact housing so, when the laser is vertically mounted, the optics project a rectangular cross on the workpiece. They may be mounted quickly and easily as needed.

The pre-aligned lasers mean almost instant set-up without difficult, time consuming adjustment of two independent lasers. Because each line has the full power of each laser with focused optics, the positioning point is highly visible. Carter offers three models of the Powercross. The Z10DX, projects a cross with each line approximately 10’ x 10’ when mounted at a 6-7 foot elevation above the work surface. TheZ5DX projects a cross with 6’ x 6’ lines when mounted at a 4-5 foot height. The Z3DX projects a cross with 3’ x 3’ lines when mounted at a height of 3 feet.
