Used METRON KD 10 #142282 for sale

METRON KD 10 is an optical comparator, sometimes referred to as a Profile Projector, which is used to measure, compare, and analyze surface features and dimensional characters on a workpiece. It is a high-precision tool used in industries such as machine tooling, manufacturing, production engineering, metrology, and quality control. Standard components of KD 10 include a projector unit for illuminated images of a work-piece, magnifying lens, measuring table with leveling screws, and XY or XYZ measuring axes. The projector unit consists of an illuminator, light source, and an optical lens system with a rear-lit reflective volumetric screen. METRON KD 10 has adjustable features to allow for maximum accuracy and definition. Magnifier lens optically magnify the work-piece images, and light sources (halogen, xenon) allow for a bright, even illumination of the surface. Illumination control includes adjustable condenser apertures, intensity control, and the ability to switch between a high-intensity, low-contrast light source, and a lower intensity, higher contrast light source. The measuring table is accurately leveled, and featured with combination counter screws and bushings, calibrated in 0.1mm increments. The X,Y, or X,Y,Z measuring axes allow for adjustment of the work-piece position as needed. Beamsplitters and scale cameras are used to project images onto the screen and measure the scale in order to obtain precise positioning and measurements. The work-piece surface is illuminated and projected onto the rear lit screen. High-contrast imaging is achieved through the use of an image intensifier, located at the eyepoint. The image intensifier projects the illuminated image onto a larger, easier-to-read source such as paper or film. Digital imaging and readout can be added to permit single-point and relative measurements as well as complex images. KD 10 also offers advanced functions like digital readouts, PC control, and the ability to project images onto multiple reference points. The user-friendly design of this optical comparator allows for precise alignment, clear viewing of the work-piece images, and precise measurements. Its ability to maximize accuracy, precision, and productivity makes this tool ideal for production and testing in the most demanding industries.
