Micro Alignment Telescope
micro alignment telescope with fixtures The Taylor Hobson Micro Alignment Telescope is used for precision optical alignment, checking and setting for example:
Alignment (series of bores or bearings)
Squareness (column to a base)
Parallelism (series of rollers)
Level/flatness (machine bed foundation)
Straightness (rails or guideways)
With its optical and mechanical axes aligned to within 3 seconds, a typical accuracy of 50-70um at 30m is achievable with the Micro Alignment Telescope. Closer distances produce better results with a best accuracy of around 5-10um.
(The Micro Alignment Telescope is also available as a Digital Alignment Telescope using high resolution CCD technology).
Principles of Alignment
Micro alignment telescope creates a straight line of sight from zero to infinity
The basic measurement capabilities of the Micro Alignment Telescope system are Alignment, Squareness, Flatness, Autocollimation and Auto reflection. The Micro Alignment Telescope generates an optical straight line of sight from zero to infinity. This forms the basic reference from which all measurements are taken.
To measure squareness or parallelism a pentad prism is used to deviate the straight line through exactly 90 degrees. A similar rotating pentad prism is used to generate a plane for flatness measurement.
The Telescope is designed to allow Autocollimation and Auto reflection, providing for angular squareness and angle measurement using reflective Mirror Targets and a lamphouse.
There is a comprehensive range of accessories enabling the Telescope, Targets and Prisms to be mounted to the work concerned.
