Starrett HD400 optical comparator
The HD400 is a dual-lens profile projector that allows for an immediate switch between two magnification lenses or a video camera adapter. The HD400 comes standard with a 16″ (400 mm) travel. Optional automatic edge detection or video edge detection eliminates operator subjectivity when locating the edges of the parts being measured. A bayonet-style lens mounting system accommodates a choice of six interchangeable lenses as well as our OV2 Zoom or TOV2 video camera systems with fixed telecentric magnification. A motorized stage, fully automatic CNC control, and a swing-away lamp house are optional features.
