Starrett HF600
The HF600 Horizontal Optical Comparator combines a large 600 mm screen, motorised measuring stage, advanced digital readout capabilities, and exceptional measuring accuracy for demanding inspection and quality control applications.
Description
The HF600 Horizontal Optical Comparator is a premium high-capacity measurement system designed for precise inspection of small to large components across a wide range of manufacturing environments. Renowned worldwide for its exceptional measuring performance and reliability, the HF600 delivers accurate dimensional analysis throughout its full measuring range and across all magnification levels.
Featuring a large 600 mm projection screen, generous X-Y measuring travel, and motorised stage control, the HF600 is ideally suited to quality control laboratories, toolrooms, and production inspection applications. Its rugged all-metal construction and high-capacity workstage provide outstanding stability when measuring heavier workpieces while maintaining exceptional accuracy.
The system supports advanced 2D measurement software capable of analysing diameters, radii, angles, lines, points, and skew correction. Optional software packages extend functionality with CAD file import, reverse engineering tools, custom reporting, and network connectivity, making the HF600 a versatile solution for modern manufacturing inspection requirements.
