Used JONES & LAMSON / J&L PC-14 #142058 for sale

JONES & LAMSON / J&L PC-14 is an optical comparator which is widely used in the engineering, tool making, and manufacturing processes. This device works by projecting a patterned image of a part onto a viewing screen to enable the user to observe and measure various features of a part or work piece. This particular model has a 14" diameter viewing screen, and the part-comparing functions of the tool make sure that the image is accurately scaled (compared correctly with the part). J&L PC-14 optical comparator uses a combination of various optical components to accurately and precisely project the part onto the viewing screen. This includes a projection head assembly, lenses, mirrors, a stage, and a light source for illumination. The projection head assembly contains the image source and lens, which are adjustable and can cast a full circular image around the viewing screen. The lenses used in the projection head are high-grade, anti-reflection coated lenses to improve image clarity. The stage of JONES & LAMSON PC-14 is used to hold and manipulate the part so that an accurate comparison can be made. It has a fine pitch leadscrew, multiple longitudinal and transverse movement handles, as well as adjustable crosshandles. This allows the stage to manually be moved and manipulated as needed, while remaining magnetically secured in place during operation. The light source illuminates the part in order to project an accurate image onto the viewing screen. PC-14 is a powerful, versatile optical comparator for a variety of applications. Its main purpose is for precision measurements and tolerances when determining the dimension of a part. Common applications include checking to see if a part matches the design drawings and determining if a part fits within a specific tolerance range. This versatile tool can also be used to precisely inspect any form of cylindrical, linear, and circular features. Overall, JONES & LAMSON / J&L PC-14 optical comparator is an excellent choice for tool makers and engineering technicians who need accurate and precise measurements. Its easy to use functions and easy to adjust components make it a preferred choice for many users. It is durable, versatile, and highly accurate, making it a great choice for any company or lab environment.
