Starrett HB400
The HB400 Horizontal Bench Top Optical Projector combines a large 400 mm viewing screen, precision measurement capabilities, and a compact footprint, making it ideal for accurate inspection and quality control applications.
Description
The HB400 Horizontal Bench Top Optical Projector is a robust, high-precision measurement system designed for the accurate inspection and verification of manufactured components. Featuring a large 400 mm screen and exceptional measuring capacity, the HB400 delivers capabilities typically associated with much larger floor-standing profile projectors while maintaining a compact bench-top footprint.
Built with a rigid metal structure and a heavy-duty cast iron workstage, the HB400 provides outstanding stability, repeatability, and measurement accuracy. The projector produces a vertically correct image and is equipped with high-quality profile and surface illumination systems to ensure clear edge definition and excellent image contrast across a wide range of component types.
The HB400 is available with multiple digital readout configurations, CNC workstage options, automatic edge detection, and a wide range of interchangeable lenses. Its versatility makes it ideal for toolrooms, quality control departments, production inspection, and precision engineering environments requiring fast and reliable dimensional measurement.
