Simple optics display the part upside down and backwards on the glass screen. Corrected optics display the part right side up and backwards. Fully corrected optics yield an image identical to the part ...

Precision instruments often contain specialized components that are essential to their function, but nearly impossible to replace if they fail. [Andre] had just such a problem with an optical ...

The new Compact 500 Series VisionGauge® Digital Optical Comparator is the perfect solution for space-limited applications. It provides full functionality for smaller parts, in a significantly reduced ...

Inspection and data collection can be achieved with a palletized inspection system and a vision system. The first optical comparators, known as “shadowgraphs,” entered the factory when customers’ ...

Inspecting with Optical Comparators provides an overview of the optical comparator, which uses optics to project an enlarged, two-dimensional shadow of a part onto a glass screen for measurement of ...

Used for a wide range of dimensional inspection purposes, optical comparators measure the dimensions and geometry of a sample through a projected image. The mechanical system within the operator ...
