The Level Master from ITC simultaneously detects the level on each horizontal axis fast and easily. The new system drastically cuts the time and costs associated with the traditional 'eye-splitting' bubble levelling method, which requires two levellers to be used side-by-side.
With the new Level Master device, inclination is shown via easy-to-read colour status LEDs; a buzzer indicates when the horizontal plane is level. This development enables service and maintenance personnel to focus on levelling the machine tool instead of watching two spirit levels; the ability to quickly verify the precision of existing set-ups is an additional bonus.
As accurate as a laser leveller, the Level Master utilises state-of-the-art optical level sensor technology to deliver ultra-high setting precision of 0.01 mm (10 micron) inclination per meter. A lower precision mode with an accuracy of 0.1mm/m is also available for fast and easy rough alignment.
The convenient 'self-calibration' feature enables the customer to calibrate on-site, which further adds to its functionality as it saves both time and money while guaranteeing consistent accuracy.
Says Giampaolo Roccatello, VP sales at Big Kaiser: “It's all about confidence. Service and maintenance staff now have a fast and accurate method for ensuring that machining tools are precisely level. The Level Master saves valuable time, reduces set-up costs and significantly eliminates potential for error. With so much on the line, the Level Master is a 'must have' for any professional maintenance engineer.”
The device has an operating temperature range from 0° to 40°C, is easily portable, having an external diameter of 109 mm, a height of 46 mm and a weight of only 985 g. The Level Master is a robust unit that sits within a heavy duty aluminium case for optimal protection in factory floor conditions.
The Level Master has a nominal battery lifetime of 50 hours, using four AAA batteries. When considering the combination of its auto shut-off function, the Level Master can provide service and maintenance staff with several weeks and even months of operation.
