ATD Tool-Setting Inclined Eyetube Microscope

The ATD Tool-Setting Inclined Eyetube Microscope is designed for precision tool-setting on machinery.

Product Overview

The ATD Tool-Setting Inclined Eyetube Microscope is designed for precision tool-setting on machinery. It features a fixed magnification optical system with coaxial illumination and an inclined eyetube for ergonomic viewing. The microscope provides double field of video and double magnification in a single observation, enabling accurate alignment and measurement of cutting tools, inserts, and small components. Models range from 0.1X to 8.0X objective magnification with working distances from 32mm to 250mm, supporting applications in toolroom setup, machine calibration, and precision measurement.

  • Optical systemFixed magnification with coaxial illumination
  • Eyepiece typeInclined eyetube
  • Objective magnification0.1X to 8.0X
  • Working distance32mm to 250mm
  • Total magnification4X to 576X
  • Field of video0.6X0.45 to 48X36

Key Benefits

  • Inclined eyetube reduces neck strain during prolonged tool-setting tasks
  • Coaxial illumination ensures even lighting across the field of view
  • Fixed magnification models provide consistent image scale for repeatable measurements
  • Double field of video and double magnification allow simultaneous visual and digital inspection
  • Working distances from 32mm to 250mm accommodate large tools and machine fixtures
  • High depth of field in models like ATD25C-70A (185μm) supports sharp focus across uneven surfaces

Application Scenarios

  • Setting and aligning cutting tools in CNC machine toolrooms
  • Calibrating inserts and holders on precision lathes and milling machines
  • Measuring tool wear or edge geometry during routine maintenance
  • Verifying tool dimensions against a drawing using a fixed magnification reference
  • Documenting tool setup with a camera attached to the video output

Who It Is For

  • Machine toolroom technicians in manufacturing plants
  • Precision tooling and insert suppliers
  • Maintenance engineers in automotive and aerospace component shops
  • Tooling setup teams in CNC and machining centers
  • Training centers teaching machine tool operation and setup

Problems It Solves

  • A flat eyepiece or straight tube forces operators to bend forward, increasing fatigue during long setup sessions
  • Uneven illumination causes shadows on tool edges, making it hard to judge sharpness or alignment
  • Variable magnification systems introduce scale drift between setup and inspection steps
  • Lack of video output means tool settings must be recorded manually or by separate camera
  • Short working distances prevent use with large tool holders or machine-mounted fixtures

Technical Features

  • Inclined eyetube design for ergonomic viewing at the bench
  • Coaxial illumination system with consistent light distribution
  • Fixed magnification optical system for stable, repeatable measurements
  • Double field of video and double magnification in the same observation
  • Working distances from 32mm to 250mm across models
  • Depth of field from 32μm to 50mm depending on model
  • Objective magnifications from 0.1X to 8.0X
  • Field of video from 0.6X0.45 to 48X36 depending on model
  • NA values from 0.008 to 0.25, indicating varying light-gathering and resolution capability

Comparison With Other Options

Standard horizontal eyetube microscopeThe inclined eyetube reduces operator fatigue during long tool-setting sessions, and the coaxial illumination improves edge visibility on tools.
Variable zoom microscopeFixed magnification models provide consistent scale and repeatability, which is critical for tool calibration and documentation.
Digital microscope with screen-only viewThe ATD series maintains a direct optical view with coaxial illumination, while still supporting video output for documentation and sharing.

Use Guide

  • Set the inclined eyetube to a comfortable viewing angle before focusing to avoid neck strain
  • Use the fixed magnification scale for consistent measurement across multiple tool setups
  • Ensure coaxial illumination is centered to avoid shadows on tool edges
  • For models with fine adjustment, use it to achieve sharp focus on tool cutting edges
  • Match the camera resolution and field of view to the model's video output specifications
Answers

Frequently Asked Questions
