D-275 AUTOCOLLIMATING ALIGNMENT TELESCOPE

The Model D-275 Autocollimating Alignment Telescope can be focused from 16 inch (400 mm) to infinity to align any number of points along its optical axis.  Due to the fact that the mechanical axis of the tube and the optical axis of the instrument are parallel within 3 arc seconds, the instrument is easily adaptable to jigs and setups using a dial indicator.

 

  • Telescope for simplest, most accurate alignment plus 2-axis perpendicularity to line of sight through autocollimation
  • Low cost to permit semi-permanent installation in fixture
  • Annular rings and crossed-line reticles allow uncluttered view of reference, easy reading
  • Hardened stainless steel telescope tube
  • Certification of accuracy traceable to NIST

 

A reflective surface may be established normal to the optical axis by utilizing the autocollimating feature.  The Model D-275 is designed to provide the most-needed features as standard equipment at a low price.

Optional Accessories:

Model D-165  High Intensity Light Source.  This option may be required when autocollimating off of low reflectivity surfaces or small mirrors.

Model D-247  Table Instrument Stand

Model D-254  Adjustable Instrument Stand

Model D-276  Adjustable Instrument Stand

Model D-277  Adjustable Instrument Stand

Model D-295  Adjustable Instrument Stand

Model D-416B  220V 50Hz Power Supply

105-2761-275  Video Camera & Monitor with integral camera power supply.  With this option readings become very easy even for unskilled personnel.  Repeat readings are more accurate and faster.  The camera eliminates any errors from parallax and greatly reduces eye fatigue.  This option is easily added to existing Model D-275s.
