About the HF600 Optical Comparator
The HF600 is a floor-standing horizontal comparator for small to large workpieces, from the QC lab to the production floor. Its 24" (600 mm) screen, motorized X-Y stage with 330 lb (150 kg) capacity and four-position lens turret support fast magnification changes. 2D measurement software handles diameters, radii, angles, lines, points and skew correction; advanced software adds CAD import, CAD export for reverse engineering, reporting and networking.
