Measuring Microscopes MS-Series-2

Diversified Applications MS From hard concrete to shearing blades Almost all types of material e.g. metal, plastics, ceramics and etc., allows verification through our measuring microscopes. Consequently, the measurings are always achieved force-free and are suitable also for soft materials like e.g. rubber or very filigree assembly parts. The measurable objects are just as different as the definite applications of our customers: from inspection laboratories of cement factories examining suitable DIN air void specifications of hard concrete up to manufacturers of safety razors handling fully...

Measuring Microscopes MS-Series-3

Modular Assembly In order to secure maximum rigidity and high immunity against thermal and mechanical influences, the base stands are made of grey cast iron or granite. The precision measuring stages are play-free equipped with optical linear scales as well as backlash-free ball screws and crossed roller guides. Due to the excellent exact translation of the stages, it is simply sufficient for a linear compensation of the individual axis to reach the indicated system accuracy. A segmented linear error compensation can additionally be carried out. These compensations can, when desired, naturally...

Measuring Microscopes MS-Series-4

Measuring of Microscopic Structures MS MS2 – Probably the world’s smallest optical measuring machine Optical measuring units are preferably applied in cases of relatively small and filigree assembly parts where mechanical measurings with high accuracy are hardly possible. The MS2 is specifically created for this requirement in the industrial areas of fine finishing techniques, watches and clock fabricators and medical techniques. Despite its minimal size, the MS2 offers a full performance capability comparable to other larger and more expensive measuring machines. Depending on the software arrangement,...
