Used STARRETT HB 400 #293607775 for sale

STARRETT HB 400 optical comparator is a high-precision instrument that gives users high-precision measurements of various manufactured parts. Using one of the latest technologies in optical comparators, HB 400 model takes advantages of a bright light source, a clear image and superior optics to accurately measure parts. The equipment is set up with a support stand and is then attached to a custom housing. Inside the housing is a precision x-y stage, which is adapted to the part being tested. Upon completion of the setup process, the illumination system is then able to accurately measure the part with an accuracy of just 0.0001 inch. STARRETT HB 400 is a digitally controlled unit that automatically measures various features of a part, allowing users to quickly and accurately determine the dimensions of the piece. This optical comparator is capable of measuring different part features such as circularity, straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, tapers, and distances between edges. It also has an automatic feature recognition and measurement capability. The source of the ligth is an halogen lamp, often referred to as Phenix lamp. The Phenix lamp allows excellent illumination and clarity of the parts being tested and offers superior resolution for measuring small details. The machine also has a bright and clear reticle placed in front of the screen so users can easily align their parts when measuring. In addition to its optical capabilities, HB 400 can also be equipped with a Scale-Out tool. This function allows for the combination of an edge recognition camera, encoders and laser scale to create a complete measuring asset. This allows for extremely accurate measurements even at greater distances from the image plane. STARRETT HB 400 is an excellent choice for users who need reliable, highly accurate and fast measurements on their manufactured parts. It is a stand-alone model and can also be used in conjunction with other metrology equipment. Although it is more expensive than competing models, the superior accuracy and features of STARRETT make it well worth the investment.
