Computer Operation
The Digital Autocollimator 2000™ can be operated with a remote computer or as a stand-alone instrument. The controller contains an LCD display, which enables the unit operable in stand-alone mode. The LCD display shows the accurate deflection of reflective mirror. As a stand-alone unit, the LCD menu provides a complete set of functions for Autocollimator setup, alignment and measurement, as well as other useful functions and information. The controller has a RS232 interface (or USB cable using RS232 adapter). When used with a computer, the Autocollimator functions are expanded with a powerful software package. The Autocollimator™ rests on a three point mounting system, which establishes a planar reference. A leveling base provides 3 dimensional adjustment control which allows fine adjustment in azimuth and elevation in the range of ±4º, and ±1º roll adjustment.

More than just accuracy
The Digital Autocollimator 2000™ has a resolution of 0.05 arc-seconds in both axes.The system accuracy is ±0.1 arc-seconds at close range and ±0.5º seconds in overall range (±1000º seconds). The system is also capable of measuring surface flatness of the object. The instrument will accurately regain the angle measurement if the line of sight is momentarily blocked.

Site conditions

The Digital Autocollimator 2000™ is precision measurement equipment, which is designed to operate in the lab, as well as in a machine shop environment. It operates without performance degradation in variant temperature, humidity and pressure conditions. Warm-up time is just 10 minutes.

Transportation mass

With its lightweight 4.1 kg for the Autocollimator and a 2.6 kg for the Controller, the Digital Autocollimator is easily transported to the lab as well as in a machine shop environment.
