Sorry! I know this is an off topic from PCDMIS. We are currently looking for an 'Optical Comparator' . I just want to have your opinion and recommendation on What brand and model is the best out there in the market. We are in farm equipment manufacturing and lots of internal parts that we want to do some inspection. Of course we should section some parts to do the testing.
We've got more Starrett 400's than anything else, newer ones, 14" screen, newer Quadra-Checks, a couple have video and most have edge detectors. Very nice little comparators with a good picture providing the mirrors are kept clean (they are on 6 month PM with local company to cal and clean). Pretty accurate too. We have several of the old "battle ship anchors" being the old 30" OGPs and J&Ls.
