Optical Comparators
Optical comparator is a non contact inspection instrument that applies the principle of optics to magnify and project the image of an inspected part. Optical inspection instruments allow the inspection of a part while the part is actually moving and being machined on the machine tool. Light source emits light beam that travels through prism and projects the shadow of an object onto a screen a few feet away so it can be compared with a chart showing tolerance levels for the part.
Optical comparators screen sizes
Various optical comparators screen sizes are available to Dorsey's customers, from 14" to 80". When selecting optical comparator screen size, it is important to determine how much of the part must be viewed at one time.
Optical comparator readouts
We also offer wide variety of digital readouts for our optical comparators. From simple XY axis to more complex readouts with geometric capability to allow measurement of circles, angles and distances. Our optical comparators are capable of working with CNC readouts, to allow repetitive measurement of parts.
Visit links below for more information about optical comparators readouts. Readouts also available as a PC Tablet. Contact us for more information.
Optical comparator charts
Our optical comparator charts are available in various styles. We use satin ground glass for our charts for superior quality. We also offer overlay charts to place over existing glass screen. Overlay charts are available in clear and frosted mylar and vinyl. Visit our optical comparator charts page below for more information.
