When measuring cylindrical workpieces or screw threads, the numerical aperture affects
measurement accuracy. The appropriate optical aperture is shown as below:
(1)
For cylindrical measurement
Aperture D=0.18F F;Focal distance of condenser lens (mm)
=19.224
(2) For screw thread measurement
Aperture D=19.224
D
:
Corresponds to the aperture setting 1 to 25 indicated on the aperture diaphragm
knob on the control panel of the measuring unit.
d
:
Workpiece diameter
d2
:
Pitch diameter of screw thread
α
:
Screw thread angle
The following graph shows the correlation between the workpiece diameter d and the optimal
aperture setting D. Adjust the aperture diaphragm knob to the optimal position by referring to
this graph.
