The LT80 Multi-Axis Measurement System is a powerful, modular solution designed for industrial measurement applications requiring high precision and flexibility. This multi-channel measurement display integrates seamlessly with the MG80 series modules—including the MG80-MA interface moduleMG80-CM counter module, and MG80-LM latch module—to deliver a scalable and customisable digital gauging system.

Ideal for dimensional inspectionreal-time data acquisition, and automated quality control, the LT80 system supports up to 32 channels of synchronized measurement. Whether you’re working with digital gaugesA/B quadrature encoders, or DIN rail-mounted modules, this industrial-grade measurement display unit ensures accurate and repeatable results.

With advanced comparator functions, flexible data output options (USB, Ethernet, SD card), and compatibility with encoder-based measurement systems, the LT80 and MG80 series provide a complete solution for precision manufacturingautomated inspection, and research and development environments.

Key features

  • 7-Inch Touchscreen Display: The LT80-NE display unit features a high-resolution LCD with intuitive touch controls, allowing users to easily configure and monitor measurements across multiple axes.
  • Expandable Architecture: The MG80 series supports modular expansion with interface (MG80-MA), counter (MG80-CM), and latch (MG80-LM) modules, enabling tailored configurations for specific application needs.
  • Versatile Measurement Modes: Supports current value, MIN, MAX, Peak-to-Peak, ADD/SUB, and more, making it suitable for a wide range of inspection and quality control tasks.
  • Advanced Comparator Functions: Built-in 2 or 4-state comparator functions allow for part sorting, tolerance judgment, and defect detection.
  • Flexible Data Management: Measurement data can be stored and exported via SD card, USB, or Ethernet, ensuring seamless integration with existing data systems.
  • Multilingual support (Japanese, English, German)

Applications

This system is ideal for:

  • Precision Manufacturing: Real-time monitoring and control of dimensional tolerances.
  • Automated Inspection Systems: Integration with PLCs and other automation equipment.
  • Research and Development: High-speed data acquisition for experimental setups.

Connectivity and Integration

The MG80 modules support DIN rail mounting and are compatible with DK- and DT-series gauges via MT adaptors. The system also supports A/B quadrature encoder signals for synchronized angle and position measurements, making it suitable for rotary and linear encoder applications.
