Autocollimator is a versatile non-contact optical instrument for measuring small angles or tilt movements with very high sensitivity. Holmarc manufactures precision Visual autocollimators as well as electronics autocollimators as standard products and these instruments find a multitude of applications in shop floors as well as metrology labs for precision measurements of straightness, parallelism, perpendicularity and flatness.

Autocollimator projects the image of an illuminated reticle to the object under inspection and receive the reflected image from the object. This reflected image of reticle will focus at the position of a fixed reference cross wire on the eyepiece. Shift in reflected image compared to the fixed reference cross wire represents angle. A dual axis, micrometer driven linear stage helps the fixed cross wire to align it with the reflected reticle image. The shift in the reflected image can be determined by moving the fixed cross wire. Graduations on the micrometer give angular measurements directly in arc seconds.

Holmarc’s autocollimator consists of a stainless steel body, high precision optics with Green LED illumination, and a 10X/20X eyepeice. In most cases, the object under inspection may not have reflective surfaces. In order to carry out the inspection, the operator needs to fix a plane mirror on the object to reflect the image back to the instrument. Holmarc supplies a mounted front coated mirror as a standard accessory.
