The LaserGauge® Leading Edge Profiling System consists of a handheld or benchtop sensor and the Leading Edge software application. Designed to scan both sides of the blade simultaneously, the sensor returns a complete profile around the radius of the blade, which allows the accurate measurement of the thickness and the plotting of the blade profile for comparison to its engineering design. The scan is then processed by the software in real time to extract measurements and analyze the contour. The edge radius can also be analyzed.
All models of USB Leading Edge sensors offer the same functionality but differ in the ability to measure different sizes of blades. All of the sensors are powered through a USB connection to a Windows laptop or computer, and all sensors must be run using the Leading Edge software application.

The benchtop model has the same scanning and measurement capability of the handheld models but is specifically designed to be used in a production environment where the grinding, polishing, and final adjustments to blades are performed.
A laptop Windows™ computer and a PCMCIA interface card work together with the Leading Edge Sensor to acquire the signal and process/archive the measurements. An optional PCMCIA-to-PCI adaptor will also enable the use of a desktop PC.
The sensor can be mounted to a surface and a foot switch used to trigger the scanning, so the operator is free to use both hands to position the blade. An air fitting is located on the rear panel of the sensor to provide a positive purge air flow to help eliminate dust and other particles.
The optics area is designed to allow the scanning of the blade close to the root or button of the blade.
