These are just a few of the available comparator accessories

The multitude of accessories also available with systems, along with optional CNC control and feature-packed operating systems and DROs, all increase the ability to provide accurate, repeatable results. Many years later, the modern optical compar- ator still looks very familiar to the systems of previous generations. Much like the bicycle, it is a brilliant initial design that has allowed innovation to keep it relevant and continue to ensure performance in today’s manufacturing environment.

A modern optical comparator has the potential to address nearly any inspection requirement that might arise in a modern manufacturing or quality control environment. The many different system and platform sizes available from current optical manufacturers ensure that a wide range of part types and sizes can be accommodated. A wide variety of lens options and configurations, both traditional and video, also ensures that nearly any feature can be inspected as well. Brilliant LED lighting along with larger inspection screens and features like optical edge detection make inspection far more accurate by reducing operator subjectivity.
