EO High Resolution Infinity Corrected Objectives are designed for high resolution over a small field of view. These objectives feature Mitutoyo standard M26 x 36 TPI threads and a 95mm parfocal length which allows them to be used interchangeably with Mitutoyo microscopes and accessories. While usable with Mitutoyo microscopes and accessories, these objectives perform best when used in a zoom lens system. EO High Resolution Infinity Corrected Objectives feature near-diffraction limited on axis performance. For longer working distance objectives that can be used in Mitutoyo systems, see our EO Infinity Corrected Long Working Distance Objectives.

A laser shaft alignment tool performs measurements by means of two sensors mounted on two connected shafts. Both sensors fire a laser beam and receive the other sensor’s beam simultaneously; a comparison of the beams reveals whether the shafts are aligned and within a specified tolerance. The data then appears on a display unit, tablet or PC, allowing for analysis and correction to be performed. Considered to be on the cutting edge of dimensional analysis in the world of manufacturing, laser alignment tools are vital allies to test engineers charged with mechanical reliability. Laser beams are free from the laws of gravity, immune to bracket sag and eliminate coupling anomalies. A laser shaft test system can rotate to compensate for coupling anomalies, calculate precise values for horizontal and vertical (shimming) corrections, and can even measure more than two machines, all in the same measurement. Some laser systems even measure flatness, straightness, and parallelism.

Achieving shaft alignment is a perennial task in machinery maintenance: roughly half of all machinery fails due to some degree of misalignment and requires connecting shafts to be tested and re-aligned. Alignment measurements can be performed with a feeler gauge, calipers, straightedge or dial indicator(s), but laser shaft alignment offers the distinct advantages of portability along with unrivaled speed and precision measurement.
