ATD Tool-Setting Inclined Eyetube Microscope

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

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
