Autocollimators Specifications

Help with Autocollimators specifications:

Type

	Your choices are...
	Digital Autocollimator		Digital autocollimators use an electronic photodetector to detect the beam reflection. These instruments process the signal, which creates a calibrated angular output that can commonly be retrieved using a digital display and interface, or with analog outputs if available.
	Laser Autocollimator		Laser autocollimators user lasers for a light source and emit light beams as small as 1.0 mm in diameter. Laser autocollimators are used to analyze small parts where the best possible resolution is needed.
	Visual Autocollimator		Visual autocollimators rely on the operator’s eye as the photodetector. With this type of autocollimator, operators view the reflected image through an eyepiece.
	Video Autocollimator		Video autocollimators are a type of visual autocollimators where the eye piece is replaced by a video camera. Video autocollimators typically use reticles and image analysis software to measure angular displacements.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary autocollimator.

Specifications

	Focal Length:		Focal length is the distance from the optical center of the lens system to the image sensor plane.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Resolution		Resolution of the angular displacement measured by the device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Applications

	Your choices are...
	Alignment		Autocollimator is used for radial alignment, angular alignment, vertical displacement or horizontal displacement which is adjusted through equipment or component positioning.
	Calibration		Autocollimator is used to calibrate various test equipment and instruments including evaluating the output or accuracy compared to standards or established values.
	Dimensional Gaging / Metrology		Autocollimator is used for dimensional gaging or metrology of a new component from a production line, prototypes, or for the reverse engineering of components.
	Engineering / Design Verification (DVT)		Autocollimator is used for engineering or design verification. This may include vibrational testing, parametric measurements, and specification verification.
	Surface Profilometry		Autocollimator is used to measure or assess surface profile or metrology parameters such as roughness, surface profiles, flatness, waviness, peak count, peak height, bearing area, bearing ratio and other finish parameters.
	Vibration (Dynamics) Testing		Autocollimator is used for vibration or dynamics testing of a finished product or component using shock, sine and random vibration or other dynamic test conditions.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary application.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features

	Your choices are...
	Camera Mount		The device is equipped with a simple mount for a camera to augment or replace visual inspection.
	Dark field Viewing		Autocollimator uses a dark field illuminator to project the reticle pattern on an object for ease of alignment and measurement.
	Image Analysis Software		Image analysis software is used to enhance, identify or quantify features in an image by breaking down or applying digital image filters
	Portable		The autocollimator is a portable field device designed for ease of use and quick set-up times.  It may have a portable energy source, such as a battery, and is generally lightweight.
	Vacuum Compatible		Vacuum compatibility refers to special materials and construction needed for use in reduced atmospheres.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
