8400K Digital Optical Micrometer

Clearance - Height of Objective Lens Above Surface - The "working distance" refers to how far the objective lens is from a surface when in focus. The working distance for the 10X lens is .250", for 4x lens, 1.275" above surface. (This means that .250" and 1.275" are the maximum scratch depths that could be observed, in theory, without the lens "bumping into" the surface). The 4X objective provides the most clearance, and is thus used for larger features and for transparencies, where the near and far sides can be focused upon without lens interference.

Transparencies - Use 4X Objective Lens - The 4X objective lens is ideal for transparencies. The wide field of view allows observation of more and larger features, and the long working distance prevents the lens from contacting surface - even when focusing on the far side of a thick transparency (up to 1.9"). Accuracy is not compromised by using the 4X objective.

Rugged and portable - The 8400K was designed for use in the field. The sealed, non-magnetic case is dustproof and shockresistant to withstand everyday shop use. The hardwood instrument case also contains adapters and lenses for use on convex, concave, or any combination of these surfaces.

Real cost savings - With the 8400K, damage can be measured optically in a fraction of the time needed for other methods such as "blend-out." Spending time on a part that may need replacement is costly, and in many cases, the 8400K can be used to inspect parts while on an aircraft, whereas removal is often necessary using other methods.

Serial port for PC access - In addition to the clear LCD readout "floating zero" and other features, the 8400K's digital display also has an RS232 serial port for data export to the optional processor/printer.

The 8400K Digital Optical Micrometer Kit is packaged in a sealed, non-magnetic, shock resistant case. It includes a new and improved acrylic V-block base for measuring cylindrical samples. It also includes the black base, MT-801917, which is a special base that enables the customer to measure as close as .375” from the edge of a part.

Microset Surface Replication Kit

• Many grades are offered instead of just one grade. Microset offers 12 standard grades; four for aerospace and industrial and eight for nuclear. Custom compounds offered as well. (Cure times, viscosity and color are the most common variables in that order.)
  
  
• An advanced delivery system is provided, not just “a stick and a scrap of cardboard”. Microset offers delivery systems for industrial, not dental applications. The dispensing guns use custom mixing nozzles, with 32 instead of 24 “folds”, because complete mixing is critical. Other products are mixed by hand with a “stick on piece of cardboard”.
