INTRODUCTION
 Toolmaker's Microscope is used for measuring dimensions and angles of
machined metals. It can also be used to check the shape of screws and gears by
attaching an optional reticle. Its compact body makes it ideal for use on shop-
floors with limited space.
 Tool Makers Microscopes are able to view and measure hole diameters, linear
distances, thread angles, thread pitch, tool edges, tool wear surfaces, and
more! Toolmaker’s microscope instruments get their name from their main
application of measuring and viewing tool edges and wear surfaces in the
tooling industry. However, these microscopes are great for doing general
micro measurements. Their x-y stage micrometers allow precise measurement
of distances and circles.

OBJECTIVES

1. Measure linear dimensions for very small pieces or grooves.


2. Measure angles for very small pieces.
EQUIPMENT
1. Tool maker's Microscope

Features:
 The eyepiece section of the optical tube incorporates a vernier protractor. Angle
measurement is performed easily by turning the protractor to align the cross-hair
reticle with the work piece image.

 Complete selection of interchangeable reticles.

 Both the transmitted and reflected illumination intensity can be adjusted to


obtain the optimal illumination intensity for the work piece.

 Two XY stages with different travel range, 2" x 2" (50mm x 50mm) and 4" x 2"
(100mm x 50mm), are available.

 The TM-505/510 can output XY coordinate data if optional Digimatic


Micrometer Heads are used with it. Highly efficient two-dimensional data
processing is available by connecting the Digimatic Micrometer Heads to an
SPC tool such as QC220-MSR.

PROCEDURE"A"
1. Put the sample far of light
2. Assure that eye piece is focus on the sample using the Diopter adjustable
until have a clearly magnified picture of the screw driver.
3. Adjusting the reticle with the XY stage moving direction
4. Centering reticle.
5. Adjust the eyepiece mount position with the four adjustment screws to
minimize the displacement between the edge of the sample and the center of
the cross-hair by y moving the eyepiece mount by half the displacement in
both X and Y directions.
6. Set the micrometer on Zero.
7. Opposite the position of the sample in the second side of the focus.
8. Adjust its location accurately as in step (5)
9. Then record the reading of the micrometer.

Fig (3): Adjusting the XY direction.

PROCEDURE"B"
1. Put the sample far of light.
2. To measure the angle of the sample, the line of focus must lie on one of two
side of the sample on focus.
3. Align an edge of the sample with cross-hair reticle and align the end edge
with the center of the cross-hair.
4. Record the first reading of vernier scale.
5. Change the position of the sample and let the line of the focus be parallel to
the measure side.
6. Align two edges of the sample with the same cross-hair one after the other
by turning the angle dial and moving XY stage.

7. Record the second reading.
8. Then, calculate the resulting angle.

Discussion and RESULTS:

- Procedure" A "Results

Table (2): Results of Hole and screw driver.


Toolmaker Microscope Digital Micrometer
Screw Driver diameter 2.025mm 1.995mm
Hole gap 0555mm 0.504 mm

Comment:
 Note that the Digital micrometer is more accurate than the microscope.
 Using feeler gauge firstly in measuring the hole gap, then using the digital
micrometer.

Error percentage:
1. (1.995 -2.025 )/ 2.025 = 1.48 %

2. (0.504 – 0.555)/0.555 = 9.2 %

- Procedure "B "Results:

Table (3): Angular shape's results


Toolmaker Microscope Bevel protractor
Angular shape "1" 149° 54' 151°15'
Angular shape "2" 30°6' 29°15'

Comment:

 Note that the Bevel protractor is more accurate than the microscope.
 The bevel protractor is more accurate than the toolmaker's microscope.
 The resolution of toolmaker's protractor is 6', but the resolution of the bevel
protractor is 5'.
 149° 54' = (360) – (267° 42' + 57° 36').

4
 30°6'= (360) – (332° + 2° 54').

Fig (5): The Resulting angle.


Error percentage:

1. (151°15' - 149° 54') / (151°15') x 100% = 0.9%


2. (29°15' - 30°6') / (29°15') x100%= 2.9%

SOURCE OF ERROR

1. The surface of the table is NOT 100 % flat which affect the fixation of the
sample and the device.
2. It is possible that the examiners read the reading wrong.
3. The influence of temperature on the sample or on the device may affect the
reading.
4. The sample or the device is not clear (dirt).
5. Shivering during the fixation of the sample.
6. The type of light (green or normal) could affect the reading.
7. Excess stress could affect the device or the sample and then the reading.
8. Instrument resolution.
9. Failure to calibrate or check zero of instrument.

CONCLUSION

To conclude the experiment was not easy and long, identifying a new device
which is the Toolmaker microscope, knowing how to measure the angles, dimension,
holes, gaps, and tiny dimension and knowing the source of errors which faces us in
this experiment.
