When choosing a calibration provider for your Optical Comparators, Microscopes, and Video Measuring Machines, there are some things to consider. Cost is usually the first thing on the list. ICS understands this and our pricing reflects. We also understand what it takes to get accuracy, clarity, and long term performance out of your vision equipment.
Expect the the best when ICS calibrates your Optical Comparator, Microscope, and Video Measuring Machine.
We start with a thorough cleaning:
• Clean and/or degrease the outside of the machine using a mild detergent.
• Remove burrs and high spots from the table surface and ways.
• Clean & lubricate accessible lead-screws and bearing ways.
• Inspect and clean all optics including lenses, mirrors, stage glass, and monitor/chart glass using Supercoat lens cleaner and lint free lens tissues.
• Not just the ones on the outside of the machine!
• Align and collimate the light source parallel to the optics.
From there, we finish with a world class calibration that includes before and after adjustment data...
Comparator calibration includes:
• Focus squareness parallel to optical axis
• Table squareness perpendicular to optical axis
• Perpendicularity of X to Y axis
• Edge detection accuracy to centerline for systems equipped with behind the mirror edge systems
• Magnification & distortion accuracy for all lenses equipped with the machine
• Chart angular rotation in 90 and 180 degrees
• Chart holds centerline in 180 degrees
• X & Y axes lead accuracy, every inch for the entire length of travel
Video Measuring Machine calibration includes:
• Table flatness to optical axis
• Focus squareness to optical axis
• Par-focalization of zoom lens for auto focus equipped machines
• Par-centrality of zoom lens
• Edge detection accuracy
• X / Y axis stage squareness
• Z axis linear calibration
• X / Y axis linear or non linear grid data up to 24 intersections
Measuring Microscope calibration includes:
• Table flatness to optical axis
• Focus squareness to optical axis
• X / Y axis stage squareness
• Reticle scale magnification accuracy
• Cross hair rotation & centerline
• X & Y axes lead accuracy, every inch for the entire length of travel |
