Optical Comparators

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Dorsey Metrology International provides a comprehensive guide for selecting optical comparators, focusing on quality and customer service. Key considerations include model types, screen and stage sizes, lens requirements, digital readout options, and necessary tooling.
Model Selection
  • Horizontal vs. Vertical Models: Horizontal models are ideal for large, heavy parts, while vertical models suit flat parts and offer faster measurements.
Screen and Stage Size
  • Screen sizes range from 12” to 80”, chosen based on part size. Workstage size, travel, and weight capacity must accommodate all parts for inspection.
Lens Requirements
  • Lens magnification affects resolution, with options from 5X to 500X.
Digital Readout
  • Basic XY readouts are for position and distance; geometric capability is recommended for circles and angles. CNC readouts are suggested for repetitive tasks.
Tooling and Options
  • Essential for accuracy, options include internal edge detection and multiple lens selectors.
Technical Specifications
  • Includes illumination types, screen size, workstage material, accuracy, power requirements, and dimensions. Models like 16H and 24P feature electronic rotary screen protractors and high-resolution screens.
Conclusion
Dorsey Metrology emphasizes precision and reliability, supported by a long warranty and NIST traceable calibration certificates, aiding in customizing optical comparators for specific needs.
