WD Hearn recently completed the installation of a Starrett Horizontal Floor Standing Optical Comparator installed

Well known throughout the world for superior value and exceptional measuring performance across the full measuring range and at all magnifications, the HF600 sets the standard in all applications from the QC lab to the production floor. The HF600 comparator has a four-position lens turret for instant selection of optional magnification lenses. Inserting the optional OV2 or TOV2 Video Camera System converts the comparator into a video metrology system. Ideal for use over a broad spectrum of industries and applications, the HF600 is designed and built to satisfy the requirements of measuring small to large work pieces with total precision, ruggedness, and efficiency. The HF600 utilizes 2D measurement software for geometries like diameters, radius, angles, lines, points, and for skew correction. Advanced software can also provide many tools such as CAD file import, CAD data export for reverse engineering, standard and custom reports, and Ethernet networking.
