Patented by IQL, the Pathfinder 500 is a universal measuring device for tool path verification . It quickly checks the linear, angular, squareness, volumetric, and contouring performance of machine tools. With a radial range of 4 to 24 inches, the Pathfinder 500 has a measuring range of 20". It provides a unique approach for determining the condition of machine geometry after tool breakage or machine crash. It's measurement system is self-compensating for temperature fluctuation and an Aerospace isolation system protects the long range ball bar from vibration and shock. 

Note: The Pathfinder is available in a 12” model (the Pathfinder 250) as well as the 24” length.
