Profile width
Select the fan angle and standoff for the required cross-section.
Inspect, measure and process · Industry, inspection & flow
Road, rail & tunnel inspection
Capture repeatable profiles across roads, rails and tunnel surfaces.
Application focusProfile width
Motion & exposure
Coordinate camera timing with travel speed and spatial sampling.
Optical alignment
Include vibration, temperature, ambient light and window contamination.
Why the source matters
A projected reference line supports profile measurements and alignment checks on roads, rails and tunnel surfaces as part of a calibrated inspection system.
The correct source is defined at the sample or process—not at the laser aperture. Wavelength and operating mode set the interaction; stability, delivery, timing, and control determine whether it stays useful in the complete system.

Application workflow
Design from the result backward.
Three decisions turn the application into a practical source specification.
Size the inspection profile
Specify cross-section width, standoff range, smallest defect or displacement, travel speed and sampling interval.
Test the returned light
Compare wavelength and camera response on asphalt, metal, concrete or coatings. Validate uniformity and exposure across the complete useful line.
Engineer the installation
Design the mount, thermal path, enclosure and synchronized acquisition for the expected vibration and ambient conditions. The listed heads are specified for 10–35 °C operation; qualify any wider environmental requirement.
Selection guide
Match the architecture to the experiment.
These are starting architectures. Precisometer qualifies the final wavelength, output, delivery, control, and integration package against your setup.

Broad wavelength choice
OEM-MF and MDL-III offer discrete choices from 375 to 1550 nm, with different power limits at each wavelength.
Wide near-infrared line
MDL-DF-808 offers up to 20 W at 808 nm with 75°, 90° or 110° fan-angle options.
Integrated head
MDL-XR-Line includes driver and active cooling. Environmental sealing and field qualification remain part of the inspection-system design.
