Used NIKON V-12B #9287984 for sale

NIKON V-12B is an optical comparator, a device for accurate measurements in optical metrology. It employs multi-axis adjustments, allowing for measurement accuracy and precision that cannot be matched by manual instruments. NIKON V 12 B uses a high-resolution digital camera to translate the image in front of its optics into a digital signal. This signal is then used to accurately measure the size, shape, and form of the object being measured. V-12B features three main components: the comparator head, the digital camera, and a software program. The comparator head is the actual physical device that screws into the optical table. It houses the optics and the digital camera, which are combined for accurate measurements of the image being displayed. The optical head allows for accurate measurement of linear and round objects from 1mm to 400mm in diameter. The camera records in-image information, offering a magnification range up to 400x and a depth of field up to 8mm. The software provided with V 12 B is designed to interpret the digital signal recorded by the camera. It processes this signal for size measurement accuracy, shape evaluation, edge position calculation, thread form assessment, stitching assessment, distance measurements, angle and arc measurements, and more. It also allows for manual manipulation of image data, including auto-contrast adjustment, exposure control, and gamma levels. NIKON V-12B supports multiple languages for programming and operation. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, and includes calibration software for accurately calibrating the comparator head. Additionally, NIKON V 12 B is integrated with a laser system for positioning components and measuring fine details of small parts. This system provides automatic calibration of the microscope image alignment and focus for quick and accurate measurements. Overall, V-12B is an excellent tool for accurate form measurements. Its optics, digital camera, and software make for precise measurements and image manipulation. It is easy to use and install, and features multiple language support. The integrated laser system provides additional accuracy for fine details. With this versatile and powerful instrument, accurate measurements of any shape or size are achievable.
