4600 Series

4600 Series Brochure

The 4600 Series 14 Vertical Beam Optical Comparator features a more rugged structure, a 4"x8" or 4"x12" travel measuring stage and a 3-position lens turret. Over 60 years experience manufacturing optical comparators in the U.S., combined with its nationwide service organization makes S-T Optical Comparators your best buy.

Anodized, high-precision measuring stage with 4" x 8" or 4" x 12" travel. Readings are via .00005"/.001mm precision glass scales. Cross travel via a threadless ball bearing, fine adjust and quick release on x axis. Vertical travel, (focus-4"), via centrally located handwheel. Oversize ground bearings for smooth, accurate focus.

All controls are easy to reach and read. Rotating glass screen with digital readout protractor, readings via 'Q' axis of DRO. Frosted glass screen with 30 and 90 degree cross lines and adjustable duplex fiber-optic surface illumination. Long-life Tungsten-Halogen bulbs for both profile and surface illumination. 3-position lens turret for quick change of magnification. Units with optional fiber-optic edge sensor have NEW flip-up arm for edge-sensor cable. The “4600” series comparator is available with your choice of digital readout systems as shown below.
