Optical comparator 14" | 14HE

14HE Optical Comparator key features: Machined chart ring with recessed screen protects internal optics Chart ring facilitates the alignment of the screen to the optical axis 14" high resolution angled glass screen for optimum viewing Large format vernier protractor with one minute graduation Quick change single lens mount with choice lenses, 10X, 20X, 25X, 50X, 100X Coated telecentric par focal optics Optional patented telescoping LED surface illumination, sun glasses are not required! The illumination is directed at the part, not in the operator's eyes Nickel plated cast iron workstage 16" X 4" with universal dovetail slot Stage travel is 8" X-axis and 4" Y-axis and 1.5" focus Crossed roller bearing travel in all three axes X and Y axis 0.0005mm/0.00002" linear scales have zero backlash X and Y axis are mounted in the center of the stage movement for increased accuracy The optics and workstage movements are mounted on heavy-duty angle plate construction Single hand quick release table travel allows for course and micrometer type fine adjustment The Y-axis drive is mounted directly under the center of gravity for better weight distribution and increased accuracy Positive/negative 5 degree light source helix adjustment Other Key Features: 2 years limited warranty. NIST traceable certification for optical and workstage movement accuracy. Published optical and measurement accuracy. This comparator is available for use with overlays or with a variety of readout formats from simple X-Y readout to programmable geometric displays. See our digital readouts page for available choices.
