What it is

The PH 3500 is a bench-top, horizontal-optical-system profile projector intended for heavy-duty inspection work.[2]

The PH 3500 supports a maximum workpiece load of 45 kg (99 lbs).[2]

The instrument has a mass of 155 kg (341 lbs).[2]

How it works

The PH 3500 projects an erect image onto a 356 mm (14 inch) diameter protractor screen with crosshairs and staggered lines for alignment.[2]

The PH 3500 provides digital angle measurement, switchable between 1 arc-minute and 0.01 degree resolution.[2]

The PH 3500 uses a floating-type workstage with linear scales for measurement in the X and Y axes.[2]

The workstage of the PH 3500 provides X-axis horizontal travel of 254 mm (10 inches) and Y-axis vertical travel of 152 mm (6 inches).[2]

The PH 3500 provides both contour illumination and surface illumination, each using a 24V, 150W halogen bulb.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The PH 3500 is suitable for applications such as thread pitch measurement, where it produces images free from blur or distortion when the workpiece is angled.[2]

Applications

The Mitutoyo PH 3500 has a resolution of 0.001 mm (0.001 inch / 0.001 mm in inch/mm models).[2]

Magnification accuracy for the PH 3500 is ±0.1 percent under contour illumination and ±0.15 percent under surface illumination.[2]

Available projection lenses for the PH 3500 include 5X, 10X, 20X, and 50X magnifications.[2]
