July 2005. Laser Techniques Company has developed the first laser-based
inspection system for 5.56 mm gun tubes. Developed for the US Army,
the custom sensor is supported by LTC’s Laser MicroMap™, a
modular and flexible data acquisition system that can be configured for a wide
variety of applications. The new small-bore mapping system will allow
researchers to accurately and quantitatively evaluate
features such as chrome-loss, erosion, heat-checking, and copper
buildup in 5.56 mm small arms. For more information...
April 2005. Laser Techniques Company continues to expand its capabilities for
automated, laser-based bore mapping technology. Systems were recently
delivered to the US Army and US Navy for the inspection of 57 mm and
155 mm rifled cannon bores. In addition, systems have now also been
developed for laser mapping of 60 mm and 81 mm mortar tubes. Based on LTC’s
Laser MicroMap™ product set, these modular systems are capable of
being easily adapted for multiple bores sizes and applications. For

March 2005. In response to continued demand, LTC is now offering scanning
services for a variety of applications. LTC has found that, in some
cases, it is more cost-effective for our customers to have small parts
scanned on a service basis than to purchase full-up laser-based
scanning system. LTC is committed to providing its clients the most
cost-effective solutions for their inspection needs. We can normally
set up and be ready to scan flat or cylindrical parts in a matter of
hours, and test results can often be provided within a few days of
receipt of parts. Examples of custom laser scanning applications
include corrosion coupon assessment for the chemical and petro-chemical
industries and corrosion and pit measurement of safety-critical
components used on the NASA Space Shuttle.

February 2005. The LP-4000™ data acquisition instrument
integrates the capabilities of a portable computer, laser sensor
controller and motion controller into one multi-function instrument
that supports a wide variety of laboratory and field
applications. Capable of operating on the shop floor or in the
field, the LP-4000™ provides operators the ability to
control laser sensor operation, electronic signal processing, sensor
motion and data acquisition, storage, analysis and reporting.
The instrument has a bright, built in flat-screen monitor and is
provided with an integrated mouse/keyboard or optional touch-screen
interface.
