Profile Projector Profile Projector is also known as an optical comparator, or even called a shadowgraph, a profile projector is an optical instrument that can be used for measuring. It is a useful item in a small parts machine shop or production line for the quality control inspection team. The projector magnifies the profile of the specimen, and displays this on the built-in projection screen. On this screen there is typically a grid that can be rotated 360 degrees so the X-Y axis of the screen can be aligned with a straight edge of the machined part to examine or measure. Make:Mitutoyo |
