Optical comparators allow users to compare the size and shape of objects by looking at them through a magnifying lens. These devices reveal small details you can compare to a standard size or shape you must match. Calibrating them ensures their consistency, which is often vital in manufacturing applications to ensure proper assembly.
Garber Metrology provides on-site optical comparator and profile projector calibration services. We offer accredited calibrations, comparing measurement standards with instrument outputs to verify accurate and precise results. After calibration, we deliver a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST and instruct you about any necessary adjustments or repairs.
Our team performs standard optical comparator calibration and X-Y linearity, magnification and angle calibration for your instruments. Here’s an overview of the process we follow:
Optical comparators are vital in various manufacturing industries, including aviation, electronics, timekeeping and detection metering. These devices offer reliable measurements to confirm adherence to set tolerances and assembly practices.
Regular calibration ensures these devices measure and compare parts accurately and consistently. A well-calibrated optical comparator is essential for quality control, and some manufacturers require that their instruments be calibrated to comply with federal and industrial regulations. Expert calibration meets established standards and documents the calibration procedures performed.
Calibration ensures your instruments function at their best. During the process, expert technicians will identify errors or issues impacting performance and determine how to correct them.
