Scotchman Industries has introduced a new LG measuring device for its 50 ton Ironworkers.
The device clamps to the Ironworker workstation bracket and displays a digital measurement of any material slid underneath it. The LG device will maximize productivity with fast and precise measurements while eliminating inaccurate manual measurements. The device reduces the time it takes to complete a cut list, and it also offers blade kerf and angle compensation built-in.
Quick setup means the LG device can calibrate in seconds and cut to precise measurements from your first cut to up to ± 0.029″. It can quickly be moved between the Angle Shear & Bar Shear workstations on the Scotchman Ironworker.
The LG device provides multiple units of measurement on any flat material. It will measure using all major metric and English units of length with output displayed on a large backlit LCD screen. It automatically adjusts its spring-loaded arm to measure a wide range of thicknesses on any flat material ensuring it can be tailored to each user’s needs.
Scotchman LG Measuring Kit comes with one Digital Length Gauge and mounting brackets for both the Angle Shear and Bar Shear:
On Bar Shear: Slide the raw material underneath the measuring wheel and up to the blade. Then, press the clear button to reset the tool and you’re ready to make your first cut. An accurate measurement of length will be displayed on the device as you push the material through the shear. Making more than one cut? Just clear the device after each cut, then continue pushing the material through to each desired length.
On Angle Shear: Slide raw material underneath the measuring wheel up to a closed blade, then calibrate the device by pressing the zero button. After re-opening the blade, advance the material through the angle shear to the desired length. This LG Measuring Device will automatically deduct the blade offset from the displayed measurement, showing the actual length that the sheared part will be.
Scotchman LG Measuring Device will display most units including:
- Decimal Inch
- Fractional Inch (1/16″)
- Fractional Inch (1/32″)
- Foot to Inch (Decimal)
- Foot to Inch (Fractional)
- Millimeters
- Centimeters
- Meters
