We are in need of an optical comparator for inspecting small turned parts.
Mitutoyo sells two models, the PH-A14 and PH3515, around $5k and 10k respectively. The latter has a bit more table travel, higher protractor resolution, and the spec sheet says it's "suitable for thread pitch measurements - free from blurred or distorted images when the workpiece is angled".
Any comments or suggestions on other machines would be appreciated.
