Optical Comparator

December 23, 2009

The model MV-140-SE optical comparator provides an erect image for easier use. The unit comes standard with separate ultra-bright surface and profile illumination, which can be used independently or together. The comparator has 1-micron scales and a display that reads to 0.0001 inch. The stage is 4-½ by 19 inches with 8-inch horizontal and 4-inch vertical travel. Also included as standard is the MV-DRO2 digital readout.

The part view function shows the relationship between all part features. It has a 5.7-inch LCD screen and can perform the direct measurement of circles, arcs, angles, points, lines, distance and perpendicularity. The readout provides auto-enter, looping and auto-finish features. The digital readout also includes a 360-degree protractor, edge detection, multiple languages, output to SPC or printer, metric/inch conversion and skew capability.
