Development Background
Is it possible to measure a wide angle of inclination that greatly exceeds the measurement range of ±1 degree? We have developed this system in response to such customer requests.
Conventional wide-angle measurement required the use of three displacement transducers to measure the heights of three points and then convert the angles. However, this method required three displacement transducers, space for their installation, and an object of a certain size, making it impossible to measure small objects. We have solved this problem with a product that uses the autocollimator method.
Features
1. Wide-Angle Measurement Range
2. High-Speed Data Acquisition (10 kHz Sampling Rate)
3. Analog Output of Measurement Data (±5 V)

※1. Distance measured from the lens barrel at the sensor tip. Since a 6 mm lens is mounted in the housing, the working distance (W.D.) from the housing is 50 mm.
※2. Circular measurement area.
※3. Measured using our standard sample positioned at the specified working distance and held stationary near the origin. In accordance with our inspection procedure, the value represents 6σ of data acquired for 1 second at 25 kS/s using a National Instruments PCI-6221 A/D board.
※4. Indicates the deviation from the ideal linear response obtained when measuring our standard sample. The actual value may vary depending on the measurement target.
※5. Diameter at the specified working distance (W.D.).
