The ultra-stable Schneider range of profile projectors incorporate large working distances, load capacity and screen sizes of up to 1.5metres to accommodate a wide range of components.

  • Long working distance for tall workpieces (up to 258mm on standard instruments
  • Standard profile projector
    PV300 Profile Projector stage
  • Large load capacity
  • Horizontal or Vertical configurations available from 300mm up to 1.5m screen dia
  • Robust construction
  • Transmitted and incidental illumination for optimum clarity
  • Optional touchscreen Multicount 200 processor & external edge detector

With the addition of an integral edge sensor in the beam path of the projector to determine the exact edges of the workpiece (completely independently of ambient light conditions) we have the Schneider range of measurement projectors.

Projectors with screen sizes as large as 1000mm (vertical or horizontal) are available for applications such as blade root profile and turbine wheel/turbine blade.  The projectors can be used with CNC control and Saphir software.

  • Telecentric illumination and objectives reduce distortion (see spec below)
  • Both transmitted and incidental illumination for optimum focus
  • Digital readout with Multicount 2000 processor and optional camera and image processing functions
  • Consistent quality of measurement results with no readjustment required
  • Optional CNC control for automatic workpiece measurement
  • Large range of optional fixtures and accessories for ease of use
