Profile Projectors
The high quality profile projectors and optical comparators for your manufacturing and quality control needs. With our profile projection equipment, you can easily view, measure, project, and draw complex contours and profiles. Each profile projector is selectable between incident (top) and contour (bottom) lighting. The projected contour can easily be traced or compared on a drawing held to the large projection screen by the included document holder clips.
Our line of profile projectors and optical comparator microscopes also have the built-in ability to view detailed surface features using incident (reflected) illumination from above. Simply switch the illumination from contour (profile) mode to reflected mode. In this method, the profile projector performs similar to a normal low power stereoscopic projection microscope.
Frequently Asked Questions — Profile Projectors
- What is a profile projector?
- A profile projector (also called an optical comparator) is a precision metrology instrument that projects an enlarged silhouette of a workpiece onto a screen. It is used for dimensional measurement, contour inspection, and quality control in manufacturing environments.
- What is the difference between a profile projector and an optical comparator?
- A profile projector and an optical comparator are two names for the same instrument. "Optical comparator" is more common in North America, while "profile projector" is the preferred term in Europe, Asia, and India.
- What types of profile projectors does Radical Scientific manufacture?
- Radical Scientific manufactures vertical profile projectors (floor-standing and benchtop), horizontal profile projectors, and CNC-controlled optical comparators. Models are available in screen sizes from 300 mm to 600 mm with digital readout systems.
- Which industries use profile projectors?
- Profile projectors are used in automotive manufacturing, aerospace component inspection, tool and die making, precision engineering, gear and thread gauging, medical device manufacturing, and electronics quality control.
