Resolution is 161 lines per m.m. The unit is completely portable and can be placed over any workpiece to measure from point A to B or any intermediate point of a series of points as long as they are in a straight line or within the field of view. The Digital Micrometer can also be programmed for G0-NO GO Tolerance settings and readings. The construction of the stand is modular so that the round legs can be easily removed or a special, longer vertical post can be substituted. The unit is well balanced on its stand so that the microscope can be used observing between the two round legs or rotated 180 Degrees so that the legs are located to the rear of the microscope frame.
Flexibility is built into the design of the base for a broad range of special applications.
Since the Model XAM-1 sits directly over the workpiece to be measured, it can even be used where it is not feasible to bring the workpiece to an Optical Comparator or Toolmakers Microscope. The much lower price of the XAM-1 as compared to a Toolmakers Microscope or Optical Comparator makes it usable and feasible in many applications where the cost does not warrant the purchase of a Toolmakers Microscope. The unit can be used to measure Printed Circuit Board point to point, Electrical Circuit Art Work, measure Small Plastic Molded Parts, Miniature Machined Parts and etc. No eye strain.
