The DA instruments are highly versatile Autocollimators which use the latest light source and detector technology to provide dual axis operation with digital display. Whereas the wide range DA400 is used for a variety of applications, typically in the machine tool industry, the ultra high precision DA20 is used primarily under strict environmental conditions in laboratories. Each Autocollimator has an eyepiece with an independent visual channel to assist initial setting up procedures. The electronic unit display is readable from several metres. Also incorporated is a signal strength display...
