Used JONES & LAMSON / J&L FC 14 #165828 for sale

JONES & LAMSON / J&L FC 14 is an optical comparator. It is a precision optical measurement and inspection tool used to inspect and measure planar parts such as stampings, machined parts, and injection molded parts. It is designed for operators to quickly and accurately troubleshoot and compare parts. J&L FC 14 is designed for long-term use in production environments with minimal maintenance requirements. It is constructed of a heavy-duty steel frame, featuring a three-dimensional vertical traverse with a 17.5" diameter. The trunnions ensure precision alignment and positioning, while the auxiliary table provides support for large parts. The device is ergonomically designed to maximize operator comfort and increase efficiency during long production runs. JONES & LAMSON FC 14 has a variety of optical measuring devices and components, including a built-in digital protractor, which is used to measure angles in degrees. It also has a coordinate measuring arm which is used to measure points along a surface. A shadowgraph viewer is fitted with filters that allow for precise measurements in both direct and two-dimensional views. It can also be used for cross-sectional measurements. The device works by projecting an enlarged image of parts onto a screen using the X-Y stage and an LED backlight. The parts can be magnified up to eight times their original size. Magnification is adjusted using a focusing knob and the screen is tilted to achieve the desired angle. The machine's high-contrast image helps operators quickly and accurately inspect parts for size, shape, and orientation. The device can be programmed to perform a variety of complex measurements, including linear and angular measurements, diameter measurement, and circle scanning. Programming is controlled through a computer interface and the device is compatible with CAD/CAM packages. FC 14 is an indispensable precision optical measurement and inspection tool that is capable of providing efficient, accurate results in a wide range of industries. Its accuracy, flexibility, and reliability make it an ideal choice for measuring and inspecting parts in production facilities.
