Optical/Video Measuring System Calibration
Optical/Video Instrument Calibration
ICS provides accurate, efficient instrument calibration solutions for optical/video instruments, including optical comparators, microscopes, and video measuring systems. The team at ICS understands how important it is to ensure that your optical equipment is fully calibrated and functioning with complete accuracy. We can help you achieve the accuracy, clarity, and long-term performance that you need from your optical/video equipment.
We start with a thorough cleaning:
Clean and/or degrease the outside of the machine using a mild detergent
Clean & lubricate accessible lead-screws and bearing ways.
Inspect and clean all optics including lenses, mirrors, stage glass, and monitor/chart glass, using a coating-safe lens cleaner and lint-free lens tissues
Remove burrs and high spots from the table surface and ways.
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 autofocus-equipped machines
Par-centrality of zoom lens
Edge detection accuracy
X / Y axis stage squareness
Z axis linear calibration
X / Y axis linear or nonlinear 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
Crosshair rotation & centerline
X & Y axis lead accuracy, every inch for the entire length of travel
