Optical Comparators


  • The Starrett HDV500 Floor Standing Digital Comparator offers the best features of a large horizontal optical comparator and a vision metrology system. Configured like a traditional horizontal comparator, the HDV500 has a long travel X-Y stage and heavy-duty steel construction. The work stage is the same as the popular HF600 and HF750 comparators, with a 330lb (150kg) load capacity. Much like the HDV300 and 400, the heart of the system centers on a uniquely designed interchangeable lens mounting system coupled to a hi-resolution color digital video camera (patent pending). The system is available with a choice of three telecentric lenses. The HDV systems house a powerful 64-bit PC, which runs MetLogix M3 Metrology software. With this software, DXF CAD files can be imported and 2D Go-No-Go “profile gages” can be developed directly from the CAD files. Video-Edge-Detection (VED), allows real-time interaction of the imported file with the video image of the part being inspected.

  • Starrett Telecentric Optics:  Telecentric vs. Zoom Lenses.  There are many Starrett instruments that use Telecentric optics. All of them have a variety of lenses, cameras, computer systems and physical characteristics that provide for different uses and performance. The manual for each product provides the type and specifications for each particular option for the given platform (also included in this document). From this, it is possible to determine the particular model and configuration that is right for a given specific application. Zoom optics have long been the standard for microscopes and video-based measurement systems. Zoom lenses continue to offer exceptional magnification range, imaging versatility and measurement results, especially for measuring small parts and very fine details. Starrett offers video measurement systems that take advantage of both Zoom lenses and Telecentric lenses by means of a unique quick-change bayonet-style lens mounting system that allows the user to select the best lens for the application.
