Measurement Principle
The instrument consists of a rectangular support plate and an upper body carrying the optical groups, able to slide longitudinally along base platform operated by a moving device with a high quality micrometric screw.
The optical scheme of coordinometer realizes an isosceles right triangle, with the vertex of the right angle on the observed point and with the hypotenuse coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the instrument. The measuring base which coincides with the hypotenuse of the triangle has a length of 600 mm, and the distance of the base from the observed point is 300 mm.
Two prisms are mounted at the two ends of the measurement base and deviate the optical axis according to the two sides of the right-angled triangle. Two equal objectives arranged on the axis of the instrument report the respective images of the object to a central prism which houses the two separate images and reports them in single ocular. The field of the ocular is divided into two separate parts, each corresponding to the observation of the right and left objective.
The optical complex remains unchanged, moreover, during measurements no displacement related to the various fundamental elements are noted. Measurement is performed by imposing translational displacements according to the longitudinal axis of the instrument.
The platform is equipped with three spherical feet which rest on the bases, geometrically determined (cone, angle and plane), and fixed to the structure.
The upper part carries the optical system, specifically two prisms of extremity, two intermediate objectives, a manifold-central prism (prism manifold?), a reference micrometer and an eyepiece.
The upper part also carries the control button for displacements.
This button acts on a micrometer screw.
The button is graduated for reading the fractions of displacements. Each division corresponds to a displacement of 0.02 mm. On the mobile part is also mounted a dial indicator which displays movement in millimeters. The measuring range of the instrument is 30 mm for each axis.
Engraved on the micrometer is a scale for the measurements of vertical movements.
This measurement is made by observing the position of a colored portion of the wire with respect to the scale.
A special device allows the increase of the measurement range bringing it to ± 55mm in the X direction and ± 35 mm in the Y direction.
The following accessories are also available:
-Control desk for optical coordinometer
-Pair of bases for coordinometer
-Template for the installation of the coordinometer’s bases
-Device to expand the coordinometer measuring range
