• Farscape: Dual Laser Large Object Caliper

These are economical and multipurpose mechanical T-Track linear calipers with an overall accuracy of +/-.030 (+/-.5mm). Several jaw depths, rail lengths, and rule graphics are available. All parts are non-corrosive and waterproof, made of anodized aluminum, nylon, and stainless steel.

All jaws are 1/8" tk x 3 7/8" wide so that you can use the same rail and interchange the jaws accordingly. Even the Laser Holder from our Farscape calipers fit these rails (and Square Tubes) so that you can mix-or-match parts to create a caliper to optimize the geometrical requirements of your circumstances. Jaws are normally set at zero with both jaw pairs adjusted parallel and square to the accommodating T-Track. See the Instruction Sheet for method of zeroing. Jaw tips are 1/2" wide so you can measure inside dimensions starting at 1.00" (2.54cm). You can add this value to the as measured inside dimension or offset the stationary jaw to the position on the rule. This cancels out having to add the 1.00" value letting you to directly read the as measured at the edge of the adjustable jaw.

A) The rail comes with a white/black graphics dual-directional fractional rule (DF). However, we have two other standard options: A dual-directional metric (DM) or a left-to-right fractional/metric rule (FM). Note that the ending prefix of the product code number represents the rule selection. Substitute the appropriate selection for what you want. See the "Rule Pictures" for accurate accurate graphic depiction. For special graduated rules contact our sales department.

The Laser Holders have a minimum 3/4" (19mm) center-to-center restriction due to the physical size of the lasers. The stationary laser holder is to be set at this rule dimension to establish the correct offset datum for the adjustable laser, which can also be tightened using its thumb screw to lock it at a prescribed dimension. The lasers have been factory set to +/-1/8" @ 50 feet. They are equipped with 4 thumb screws for fine tuning should future adjustment become necessary. Complete adjustment instructions come with every order.

B) Several standard rail lengths are available. Long lengths are comprised of shorter lengths with a connecting link to join the sections. This provides for compact storage or using just the minimal section length for tighter confined measuring. Long one-piece rails and heavy duty square tubing are available for special applications. The maximum sectional length is 96" (245cm), and lengths up to 17 FT have been made to date.

CAUTION: Read before using X-Kaliper

Always check alignment before use. This is done by moving the sliding jaw against the fixed jaw and noticing if an air gap occurs. Backlight the jaws for better visibility. If flush contact is not observed, realignment can be easily done following the instructions below.

Instead of the typical mechanical jaws of our standard Large Object Calipers (X-Kalipers), these have 2 dual parallel aligned Red Dot Lasers. Think of the possibilities! Now you can find out the nominal size of objects you couldn't reach or want your equipment to touch. This could be an overhead pipe or one in a well, a hot part, the drain of a swimming pool underwater, a puddle of some unspeakable material, or an animal with sharp teeth and a bad disposition. The uses are endless, the range infinite. Note: Red Dot Lasers are great indoor but diminish quickly in direct sunlight.
