Brief Description of the Instrument & its components

About Instrument

Profile Projector with 300mm Dia screen is suitable for all type of measurements &

inspection at industries & engineering colleges. It consists of a 300mm dia rotary screen

with a cross hair line, which is rotatable through 360 degree, to take angle measurements.

An X-Y bed is provided to take a longitudinal & lateral measurments which is equipped

with zero ajustmens micrometer of 25 mm scale graduation having least count of 0.01mm.

How to Operate

Unpack the instrument and place it on the top of the table. Plug the wire to 220v AC

mains and switch on the instrument. Place the specimen on the ceter of the glass plate of

X-Y bed and bring it to the optical path in between contour light & objective lens with the

help of micrometers. Now viewing on the screen move the focusing knob upward until the

shadow of the specimen is focused on the screen. Adjust the surface lights to illuminate the

object properly. Now measure the relative position with the help of micrometer scale with

the reference of cross hair line appeared on the screen. Rotate the screen and note the

reading of vernier for to get the measurement of the angle of an object.

Procedural Steps

1. Measurement of X-Y movements

 Place the work piece on the working table.

 Adjust the incident lights accirdingly to illuminate the object properly.

  Observe the work piece trough eye piece and focus the object.

 Then measure the relative position by measuring the travel of the work table

necessary to transfer a second point to the position previously occupied by the first

and soon with help of the micrometer.

2. Measurement of Angle

The angle are measured by successively setting fiducial line situated in the plane of the

eye piece along with armof the image, or through points indicating the angle and noting

form a protector scale (goniometer) the angle through which the fiducial line has been

turned.

How to Take Measurements

Micrometers: We have two micrometers one for longitudinal measurements & second for

lateral measurments. We can determine the least count of the micrometers with the

following formulae:

Least count = Pitch .

Numbers of devision on circular scale

For Example,

If Pitch= 1 mm & Number of cirular scale division =100

Least count = 1mm =0.01mm

100
Revolving Screen: The function of the 360 degree rotable screen is to measure the angle of

the object, we can determine its count in the following way: -

Least count = 1 M.S.D (Main Scale Division) x 60

Number of division on vernier scale

If M.S.D = 1 and Number of vernier division = 10 then

Least Count = 1 x 60 = 1 min.

60

Things to Remember

Use the instruments in complete dust proof room for better results & sharp image. Never

forget to cover the instrument with dust cover after use. Always check the fuse provided at

the back of the intruments in case of the non working of illumination. The image will be

hazy if the optical surface of the objective is unclean. In such case clean the front TIP of the

lens with help of cotton clothes.
