PORTABLE LASER GONIOMETER

Mk 2
(for sharpened angle measurement)
Designed and manufactured by
CATRA
The World’s Knife Technology Organisation

CATRA offers a range of very lightweight, easily to use, handheld laser goniometers / protractors to measure
the included sharpened angle(s) of all types of knife blades. The significant advantages of this polymer bodied
product are:

➢ lightweight and portable, though still suitably robust for workshop use
➢ comfortable for in hand use and easy to read having an accuracy of ±1°
➢ magnetic flat and tapered location for both flat and tapered blade sections
➢ 1mW focused Class 2 red laser for higher intensity readings of edges – useful in bright, daylight
conditions
➢ battery powered for use anywhere (eg: factory floor or point of sale) using 2 x 1.5v AAA batteries
➢ single bevel and double-edged components accommodated equally well.
➢ The Portable Laser Goniometer is available is 2 sizes: 90mm & 160mm diameters). The 90mm
diameter is suitable for blades up to 44mm wide and the 160mm is suitable for larger blades up to
75mm wide.
➢ reads angles of multifaceted edges and extent of edge polishing or honing

The device operates by reflecting a low powered laser beam from the facets of a cutting edge. This unit is
suitable for obtaining a rapid determination of the edge angle in situations where a mains supply laboratory
goniometer is not available or impractical to use. Its lightweight and compact design makes it ideal for field
locations as well as the factory environment. It comes complete with a comprehensive instruction manual,
carry case and 2 x 1.5v AAA batteries.

The goniometer can be used on knives and other types of edged components, including:
Knife Blades, Razor Blades, Machine Knives, Scissors/Shears, Craft Blades, Folding & Sporting knives
