Profile Projector

PJ/PV/PH Series

Catalog No. E14005(8)Projector PJ/PV/PH Series
Each Mitutoyo profile projector is a measuring machine that performs measurement, inspection and observation efficiently by
projecting an image of a test workpiece on the stage onto a viewing screen under accurate magnification.

PJ Series

The inherently non-contact measurement method of profile projectors makes this type of instrument highly suitable formeasuring small parts that are unmeasurable with general-purpose contact instruments or easily deformed plastic parts, and canalso be used to observe the surface profiles of workpieces or inspect minute assemblies with surface illumination. Additionally,

Adoption of the LED illumination source has obviated the need for installing a cooling fan into themain unit of the measuring instrument, and has drastically decreased the entry of oil mist, dust, etc.
via the cooling fan into the instrument body.
This also drastically reduces adhesion of oil and dust to the internal mirror, lens, and light source.
The graph on the left shows changes in illuminance on the projection screen in case of long-term
installation together with a conventional model (the projector with a fan) in a misty processing site.
As compared with the conventional model, the LED light source type improves the rate of decline inilluminance by about 50 %. It maintains high optical performance by preventing the entry of mist into
the main unit even in a processing line.
The unit has excellent durability and requires less frequent maintenance, resulting in lower
maintenance costs.
Note 1: Exterior cleaning of the projection lens surface, stage glass top, etc. is easy.
Note 2: The graph data is based on our company validation conditions, and measured values may vary according to theinstallation environment and so on.

Color temperature changewith illumination level

Color temperature varies significantlywith the level of halogen illumination
but not so much with LED illumination, so
the appearance of the image varies a lot
less as the LED level is adjusted. Also, theprojected image under LED illumination is
sharper and easier on the operator’s eyes,
which contributes to a reduction in fatigue
and therefore more efficient inspection
and measurement.

The turret of the PJ-H30 Series uses low-friction bearings that enablesmooth and rapid rotary motion for changing magnification by bringing
different projection lenses into the light path. The turret body uses bayonet
mounts to aid quick attachment and detachment of lenses.

Features (Bright, beautiful observation)

Also equipped with oblique Surface illumination
with good color reproducibility as standard

The profile projector has to maintain a high level of performance, not only interms of optical performance but also comprehensive measurement accuracy.
The PJ-H30 Series, which performs not only contour observation andcomparative inspection but also two-dimensional measurement with highaccuracy, has achieved the above measurement accuracy in all stage sizes.*
Having achieved both long-stroke measurement and high accuracy, it is
helpful in every measurement setting.

Focusing with high operability■ Specifications* Compliant with JIS B 7184, measurement method for each of the XY axes

Features (Maintainability)

Easy-to-replace lamp housing design

To place a test workpiece on the stage and focus swiftly, an easy-to-grip
handle shape and its position are very important. Therefore, the PJ-H30
Series has an oblique manual focusing handle that lets you operate ina natural position, whether standing or sitting, without awkwardness.

The projection lens is equipped with a
C mount, therefore a compatible digital
camera can be attached.
Retrofit is possible Profile Projector (PJH). A workpiece can be observed on
the large-size projection screen, andsimultaneously the color image can besaved on the camera and observed on themonitor.

Having a halogen lamp burn out during use can cause a lot of trouble.
Immediately after a lamp burns out, it is too hot to be replaced. The PJ-H30
Series has a slide change mechanism, which allows you to change lamps
from outside; therefore, even if the lamp burns out suddenly, you cancontinue inspection and measurement with no worries (for transmitted
illumination only). Moreover, the housing can be pulled out just byloosening the screw, so it is very easy to replace the lamp. Furthermore, it issafe to pull out the housing because no electricity is flowing.

LED illumination light can emphasize the contrast of projected workpiece
images, providing stereoscopic and sharp observation.
Projected image can be observed with high color reproducibility, which isnever realized by the existing halogen-type surface illumination.
Low power consumption: 17.4 W, and long operating life: 30,000 hours.
Stepless illumination adjustment has been adopted so as to provide
moderate illuminance according to the surface texture and color of theworkpiece. Illumination strength ranges from weak to strong and thismethod is also effective in extending the halogen lamp life, which isenhanced by using a soft start feature to limit inrush current.

OPTOEYE 200 and detector mounting plate A● An edge detecting device for improving the measuring efficiency and reliability of a

profile projector by removing the need to position the cross hairs on an edge manually.
This has the effect of eliminating the operator variability factor from data entry andshortening the measurement time.
● The detector uses an optical fiber that can be easily fixed on the screen with chart clips.
● The device is provided with an error detection function that works if the screen lightintensity changes.
● This device can be retrofitted onto the QM-Data200 and does not need an AC adapter
since power is supplied from the QM-Data200 through the connecting cable.
● When using the Optoeye system, there are two ways to connect: connection to theprojector main unit via an RS-232C cable, or direct connection of the projector main unit's
X- and Y-axis linear scales to QM-Data200.
● This system can be used in combination with the QM-Data200.

To quickly check an image projected on the screen, an appropriate chart is used. 13 types of overlay charts are available according to the application.

Overlay chart No. 12

Overlay chart No. 13■ Erect Image and Inverted Image■ Telecentric Optical System

An image of an object projected onto a screen is erect if it is orientated thesame way as the object on the stage. If the image is reversed top to bottom,
left to right and by movement with respect to the object on the stage(as shown in the figure below) it is referred to as an inverted image(also known as a reversed image, which is probably more accurate).

An optical system based on the principle that the principal ray is aligned
parallel to the optical axis by placing a lens stop on the focal point on theimage side. Its functional feature is that the image will not vary in size
though the image blurs as the object is shifted along the optical axis.

is illuminated by light transmitted coaxially to the lens for the observation/measurement of the surface. (A half-reflecting mirror or a projection lenswith a built-in half-reflecting mirror is needed.)● Oblique surface illumination: A method of illumination by obliquely

illuminating the workpiece surface. This method provides an imageof enhanced contrast, allowing it to be observed three-dimensionallyand clearly. However, note that an error is apt to occur in dimensional
measurement with this method of illumination.
(An oblique mirror is needed. Models in the PJ-H30 Series are suppliedwith an oblique mirror.)

Telecentric contour illumination

The magnification accuracy of a projector when using a certain lens isestablished by projecting an image of a reference object and comparing
the size of the image of this object, as measured on the screen, with the
expected size (calculated from the lens magnification, as marked)
to produce a percentage magnification accuracy figure, as illustrated below.
(Note that magnification accuracy is not the same as measuring accuracy.)
