LP-2000™ Control Unit

Our Laser MicroMap™ systems are supported by the LP-2000™ Control Unit, which controls the laser and processes the detector signals.  This rugged and fieldworthy instrument is well-suited for use both in the laboratory and in the field.

The modular flexibility of the LP-2000™ Control Unit provides NDT professionals a cost-effective and powerful tool that integrates easily with existing NDT systems.

Laser Control

The LP-2000™ controls the laser in one of two modes: Local or Remote.  In Local mode, the laser is held at one of three pre-set power levels.  The operator may choose the power level with a switch on the front panel.  In Remote mode, the LP-2000™ maintains the optimum laser power based on the signals received from the detector.

The LP-2000™ Control Unit also has the SmartLaser™ feature, which allows the system to operate at full power during inspections but drops the power to an eye-safe level when a target is not within the sensor's measuring range.

Signal Processing

The LP-2000™ Control Unit amplifies and processes the raw detector signals generated by laser profilometry sensors to produce surface profiles and LaserVideo™ images.  It offers flexibility in detector amplification with three pre-set gain levels.
