Visual autocollimator 6 series

high-speed

Overview
The 6B-LED and 6D-LED autocollimators are manual, high-precision optical instruments for non-contact angular measurement and alignment verification. The 6B-LED produces a bright-field image behind the reticle; the 6D-LED provides a dark-field image for higher contrast and reduced sample glare. Both models support rapid, repeatable checks of straightness, flatness, small angular deviations and rotational accuracy.

Applications

• Verification of linear alignment and straightness
• Detection and quantification of small angular deviations and runout
• Measurement of convex and concave curvature and calculation of radius of curvature
• Assessment of component flatness and surface comparison against reference flats
• Measurement of feature heights and rotational accuracy of rotary tables and dividing heads
• Comparator checks and deflection measurement on parts with very small movements

Product highlights

• Two models: 6B-LED (bright-field) and 6D-LED (dark-field) to suit sample contrast and glare conditions
• Brightfield or darkfield contrast enables simultaneous two-axis measurements for fast alignment
• Large adjustment ring corrects image curvature and enables quantification of curvature radius
• Retrofit LED illuminator unit available for improved illumination control
• Fast, repeatable operation with high angular resolution for industrial inspection tasks

Accessories

• Calibration target mirrors (flat and reference mirrors)
• Retrofit LED illuminator unit
• Transport case and protective covers
